WWE President Nick Khan admitted that WrestleMania ticket
sales are softer this year than the previous year, but the
company is still hoping to achieve last year’s gate revenue
as the dip in sales will be offset by a higher-priced
tickets.
“We’re feeling good,” Khan told The Sporting Tribune. “Last
year we set records, which we set the year prior to that. So
this year we think it’s going to get close to that record,
but fingers crossed.”
Khan doubled down that “the marketplace dictates the ticket
price,” mentioning that ticket scalpers usually re-sell
their tickets at a higher price.
The WWE President also confirmed that WrestleMania 43 is
still scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia despite the
problems in the region lately.
“We’re doing WrestleMania next year in Saudi,” Khan said.
“First time ever, WrestleMania will be outside the United
States or Canada. And we’ve had a big, fruitful partnership
with them.”
