What happened that made wrestling a rich people sport? It’s had multiple markets before, southerners, dudebros, families but none of these demographics are rich. Yet the second TKO takes over, WWE caters hard to premium packages and bullshit elite clubs and it works? It’s just insanity to me that you would willingly pay more for less
>>20684848>Yet the second TKO takes over>WWE lost more than 8 million viewers before TKO took over.

>>20684848Individual Wrestlemania PPVs reached $49.95 in the 1990s, well over $100 in today's dollars. Those went down but n recent years sports and concerts realized they were undercharging for what many fans would pay for live event tickets and adjusted accordingly. Resale sites like SeatGeek helped make this known.

>>20684911From the article:"they realized just how much money they were leaving on the table by not pricing their tickets at the rates the market will bear.“They've learned from the secondary market that certain events have a really high value, very high above what they might have originally put as the face value price,” says Daniel Rascher, a professor of sports economics and finance at the University of San Francisco. “So now they're trying to capitalize on that by having those high prices from the start, as opposed to selling them at a lower price and then having the secondary market make a bunch of money off of selling them at a higher price.”Teams and entertainers are happy to acknowledge this reality. In 2022, Bruce Springsteen responded to complaints about his dynamically-priced tickets by saying he wanted the band, not secondary market brokers, to get paid: “Why shouldn't that money go to the guys that are going to be up there sweating three hours a night for it?”"
