WWE SmackDown tickets sold tonight reportedly below year to date average
WWE SmackDown takes place tonight from Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, SC, and according to the latest report from WrestleTix, tickets are currently tracking below the yearly average for live events.
8,182 tickets for the show have been distributed as of writing, which is below the current year to date average of 10,385. This number will likely go up in the hours leading up to the broadcast, with walk ups having not yet been factored in. The cheapest ticket available for standard admission right now is tracking at $45.65, and there are around 38 tickets up on the resale market.
This number is also below what was sold the last time the company ran the building, which was back on 10/18/2024 for an episode of Smackdown. 10,215 tickets were distributed for that show, which itself is below what the company is averaging in 2026 year to date.
What to expect on WWE SmackDown tonight
Tonight’s show will focus on the fallout from Backlash in Tampa last weekend as well as starting to build towards the May 23 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event and then the Clash in Italy PLE on May 31.
