A report from Pollstar published by PostWrestling.com
revealed that WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas had a whopping
$66,074,558 in ticket sales, a record for a professional
wrestling event.
The revenue was never announced by WWE or TKO apart from a
statement saying that they shattered all records in terms of
revenue.
While the Pollstar report did not differentiate between each
night, even if splitting it in half at $33 million a night,
it would still beat any record in history.
Pollstar also listed the attendance at 113,412 over two
nights, slightly lower than the 118,641 than what the
Allegiant Stadium announced.
WrestleMania 40 was previously the record-holder in terms of
gate revenue not adjusted for inflation, with a combined
sales of $38.5 million, split into $18.8 million on Saturday
and $19.7 million for Sunday.
The $66 million gate revenue is mainly thanks to soaring
ticket prices.
