WrestleMania 40 has shattered records, breaking the all-time gate record for WWE in just one day of ticket sales. The event, which will take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on April 6 and April 7, has already sold over 90,000 tickets, earning the company a staggering $21.6 million.
This incredible feat comes on the heels of a year of unprecedented ticket sales demand for WWE. In 2023 alone, the company has seen record-breaking gates for premium live events such as SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Money In The Bank. SummerSlam, which was held at Ford Field in Detroit earlier this month, generated a record gate of $8.5 million, making it the largest gate for any non-WrestleMania event ever.
In addition to the record-breaking ticket sales, On Location has also sold more fan experience packages for WrestleMania 40 than it did for WrestleMania 39. Not only that, but the event has already broken the all-time revenue record for a single WWE event in the Philadelphia area.
WrestleMania 40 is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience for fans. Limited tickets are still available through Ticketmaster, and exclusive ticket packages are available via On Location. The WrestleMania 40 Priority Passes offer fans the chance to be ringside for every exhilarating moment, including premium seating, pre-show hospitality with WWE Superstar appearances, ringside photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and more.
