Phil isn't the draw he thinks he is. First WM of this era where they've had to do this

Thanks, Drumpf!

>>20051677
they would pay the original prices if the card was actually good. doesn't help that nobody wants to travel to vegas either
>>
>>20051677
wait people were complaining about $200 for two nights of the biggest wrestling event of the year?
>>
>>20051679
oh yeah, that part
>>
>>20051677
Oh wait, the new lowered price is for the CHEAPEST ticket which is up in the fucking rafters lol that's still too much. Seats where you need binoculars should be 50 bucks

That's probably the biggest issue why tickets aren't selling. Vegas is expensive even though it's a ghost town now
>>
>>20051689
$200+ for one night just to sit in the worst possible seat.

I'd go if they paid me $55 an hour to sit and watch this shit while pretending to be all enthused.

Yeah, I love WWE and my reason for not traveling to WrestleMania has nothing to do with the actual show, which I enjoy. It's just not worth that much money to me. These two seats I circled, which are still very far away from the ring are $675 each for a two day combo ticket. Regular Raw and SmackDown shows aren't like this. Tickets are expensive but not ungodly expensive. I just paid $200 for a pretty good seat for Raw in a couple months. Could've gotten in for maybe $70 if I sat in the upper bowl in the back, which still wouldn't have been bad, could've seen the ring just fine. WrestleMania is just too much money.
>>
>>20051759
>>the wrestlemania card feels like a filler mania with very little intrigue or hype
I don't agree with that at all. But they're too expensive when the economy is bad and getting worse, and yes, going to Vegas twice in a row doesn't help, although I'm sure the city paid them a ton of money to make it happen.

Nobody wants to watch Cody vs Orton, Punk vs Reigns, or Seth vs Logan Paul

The most anticipated match would be Americano vs Americano, and there's zero build up

But I was told Romans rare appearances were ok since he's such a huge draw?

they only lowered prices for the seats that can't see the entrance KEK

>>20051677
I could buy an entire section at Dynamite for $177

>>20051815
I hate that rushed Cody vs Orton because they didn't want to do it in Saudi Mania so they're doing it now this year on American soil. I don't feel anything for that much, or Punk vs Reigns for that matter.

Cody calling this year's Wrestlemania a "sleeper wrestlemania" and AJ Styles saying Wrestlemania has lost its magic unironically took the shine off the event.

People aren't going because of Trump's economy and the affordability crisis. Foreigners aren't flying in for the show because they are worried about being murdered by ICE. It has nothing to do with the card or city. People want to go but they simply can't.

Yeah. It’s a marketing issue, for sure.

By which I mean, of the classic “P’s” of Marketing (Product, Place, Price, Promotion), this Wrestlemania seems to be struggling because of the Place and Price P’s.

The Product is fine (despite regular bitching around here, this 2-night card is probably the best card they could construct given the healthy, active roster talent right now).

And the Promotion is fine. Shit, whether it’s the morning shows or McAfee, they’re talking about Cody Rhodes and/or the Tribal Chief on ESPN every day now, it seems. Plus, Punk is on every podcast. It’s not a promotional awareness problem.

Rather, it’s the Place (Vegas. Again.) and it’s the Pricing (too high).

Thing is, once you start lowering prices, fans will just continue to wait, figuring you’ll keep lowering them even further. …which WWE will.

It’s the classic marketing game of finding the right price in a free market. Like when the liquor store in your town has a going out of business sale, and starts at 50% off. You wait. Not good enough. Then they go to 60%. And you’re like ehhh. Because you know they’ll go to 70%, but what you DON’T know is how many impatient morons have already picked the place over at 50 and 60%.

Wrestlemania is going through this right now. Water will find its level and the shows will still sellout, but probably just not for the total profits TKO hoped for (or Vegas).

It’s fine. It happens. It’s business.

$200 per night. My friend is going to vegas from seattle area in november and plane tickets alone are $1200 for roundtrip. Add on hotel, food, transportation around town, it adds up quick.

why don't they lower the prices for the actual decent seats?
>>
>>20051786
>Everyone banned from ringside

Isn't this the stipulation for every AEW show? That is why there are so few people in the audience, right???
>>
>>20052369
But there are builds and stories for this year's WrestleMania. You're pretending there aren't for some reason.
>>
>>20052784
This is all pretty correct. I think WWE is going to have to adjust their prices for their shows in the future. They'll just start lower for shows and then they won't have to lower them as much later.
>>
>>20051716
>$6.5k to watch Punk Vs Roman
jesus christ I wouldn't buy that shit either
>>
>>20051677
This is all that matters. It doesn't matter how many smelly poor people they can stuff into a stadium. It matters that they are continuing to make more money than they ever did in a fucking recession as well.
>b-b-but why does it matter to you if WWE is making so much money. You don't see it, it doesn't go in your pocket
Sure but the more money that WWE makes, the more that they are ensured to be the #1 wrestling company in the world and there is no reason to worry that they would ever disappear while all the AEW cultists can do is cry and use meaningless copes to try to make themselves feel better about it but it don't change shit and they are the ones who should be worrying about their own company's future. WWE won, is winning, and will continue to win. Accept it and move on.

I bought a second row floor ticket to Mania 27 before the Rumble off a scalping site for $1,300 (about $500 over face) in 2011 money and after the show I swore to myself that I would never again go to a WrestleMania because it's literally a crap shoot. The show could either be incredible (30, 19, 38, etc.) or historically awful (27, 32, 34, etc.). And I came to that conclusion after being burned for "only" $2,000 in 2026 money. I could not even fathom taking that risk for $15,000+ which is what that seat would cost this year if you went for both nights. Even if I had fuck you money I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.
>>
>>20053736
They're shit stories, playing out at a snails pace. Saying "there are stories though! it doesn't matter that they're lazy, uninspired and repelling people from attending!" is quite pathetic
>>
Meanwhile, I just bought 4 lower bowl off center tickets to Double or Nothing this week for $350 total including fees.
Me and the brahhhhs will be tearing up NYC for a weekend and we're treating it like our Wrestlemania for the year.

They went back to Vegas because they were given millions in tax breaks and tourism grants from the State of Nevada and the City of Las Vegas, you drooling retard.

LMAOOOOOOOO
>>
>>20070804
They're not bonuses. They're tax incentives and grants that come from the state. You're just making shit up. Louisiana offered them X amount to come to New Orleans, then Nevada offered them even more. I'm not saying it's a good idea to run the same city twice in a row (obviously it wasn't) but Las Vegas is desperate for tourism these days, and TKO is always going to go where there's more money.
