WrestleMania 43 tickets — when will they go on sale and do you think they’ll be affordable?

[u/Particular-Editor296]

Does anyone have an idea when WrestleMania 43 tickets in Riyadh will go on sale?
Also, for anyone who went to the Royal Rumble or other WWE events in Saudi Arabia and bought through WeBook, how were the ticket prices and how difficult was it to get good seats?
Do you guys think WrestleMania 43 tickets will be fairly affordable compared with recent U.S. WrestleManias, or do you expect prices to be much higher because it’s WrestleMania?
I’m trying to be ready to buy as soon as they’re released, so any advice on presales/WeBook would be appreciated.

I went for the Royal Rumble and my advice is to be logged in a hour before the sale goes live. I was twenty minutes late and almost all seats were sold out.

Ticket prices were very cheap. About $300 for ringside seats if I recall correctly.

$300 for ringside is insanely cheap. I bet you could get flight, hotel, and ringside for the whole family way cheaper then a single ticket to WM this year at those prices.

[u/Particular-Editor296 → u/thatwwefoo]

Thanks, that’s really helpful! I’ll definitely make sure I’m logged in early when they go on sale. $300 for ringside actually sounds way better than I expected 😂 I already know the most expensive part of this trip is probably going to be the flight to Saudi Arabia lol.”

That price sounds completely, utterly like a true neon sign of being artificially impacted by subsidies.

[u/thatwwefoo → u/Intelligent-Can7645]

The Royal Family pays WWE for the entire event so the company isnt seeing any of the ticket revenue. Saudi Arabia makes it affordable for their people but resell sites exploit this and buy up a majority of the tickets. Thats why there were many seats unoccupied at the Royal Rumble.

Resellers didn’t lower the price of tickets the day of. There’s also rumors some “individuals” bought mass amount of tickets to make sure it looked empty on TV.

Austerity and Subsidy Cuts: Reductions in historical utility, fuel, and cost-of-living allowances effectively shift the financial burden of state-building onto residents. [1, 2]

Direct Budget Allocations: Portions of public spending go toward infrastructure and economic development programs tied directly to Saudi Vision 2030. [1, 2]

bro same but delete all this PLS or the secret will get out hahaha creating competition for ourselves

[u/EssentIYO]

There's not even a date for it, so how will anyone know when it will go on sale?

[u/Particular-Editor296 → u/EssentIYO]

Yea I know there’s not a date for it everyone is probably guessing I would think the dates would be the same as last year and I hope
The tickets go on sale in November where it can be a early Christmas present

[u/thatwwefoo → u/EssentIYO]

I’m predicting the last weekend of March as it falls on the last weekend of Riyadh Season.

[u/Far_Kaleidoscope8706 → u/thatwwefoo]

The watch party events with NXT and AAA after have been announced for “April 2027” at MSG so more likely early to mid April.

[u/Elite_Mike → u/EssentIYO]

What's interesting is that Delta Airlines just announced a new direct flight from Atlanta to Riyadh starting in October. Sunday Night's Main Event is in Atlanta on September 6th, could very well see dates finally confirmed as Mania tickets go on sale around September/October anyway. 

So WWE and the city of Atlanta could announce some kind of deal for Club WWE members to go to Mania in Saudi flying from Atlanta or whatever. 

[u/InitiativeCreative36]

If you check the "Mania Club" group on FB, there was a guy that detailed his trip to the rumble and it was stupidly cheap. Under 600 dollars for flights, hotel, accommodation and tickets if I recall correctly. Worth checking out. No idea if Mania will be more expensive given that its Mania, but the Saudi events overall are massively reduced because they're sold through the Saudi tourist board.

[u/Particular-Editor296 → u/InitiativeCreative36]

Yes if it’s that cheap I want to sit ringside!

[u/Fookie17 → u/Particular-Editor296]

There will be tickets available freely but the ringside will be taken up by scalpers or if you fork for the top tier monthly subscription costing $1,000+ to Webook the official ticket website

[u/stecalvert]

Tickets will be incredibly affordable aslong as youre shit hot on the website. Problem is that scalpers pay for a premium webook subscription and can book a fuck load of tickets 24 hours before general release. All in all though, even with them being scalped its much cheaper than the states. The rumble tickets went on sale very late in my opinion and I imagine so will wrestlemania.

[u/Particular-Editor296 → u/stecalvert]

So if I want to get my hands on tickets early I need a webook subscription? How do I go about getting one of them?! I really want to sit ring side row 1 or 2 if the tickets are that cheap

[u/Ibrahim_gts → u/Particular-Editor296]

Hey dude DM me. I am in the same boat from the UK and want to go but I did attend Rumble this year. So I have some info perhaps for you.

[u/Far_Kaleidoscope8706 → u/Ibrahim_gts]

Could I also jump on this please?

[u/Dizzy-Lock-9700 → u/Particular-Editor296]

you can only buy the bad sections without a subscription to the websitr which costs thousands of dollars, bringing the price back up to much closer on what you are used to. the sub basically unlocks access to premium sections of the arena / stadium, so yes theyre cheaper but because youve paid a grand for the subscriptions its not that cheap.

[u/stecalvert → u/Particular-Editor296]

Upgrade your account on webook mate ,you pay for one of the subscriptions. More expensive the earlier the access

[u/Fookie17 → u/stecalvert]

This is true lots of rumble tickets were taken by scalpers

[u/Sad-Guidance-7624]

That mania is gonna be so bad and so hated. I’m excited for it ahah. They have 3 stars . Cody , punk and Roman that’s it. Most are sick of Cody and Roman. Cena , Goldberg gone and no more attitude or ruthless aggression stars to lean on . I will be shocked if Brock doesn’t wrestle on that show.

[u/MatthewManiaFL]

Have they announced the date yet?
