What is the most you have/would pay to see a wrestling event?

[Mondo]

Firstly, apologies if this has been posted before but I am pretty new here.

A few months ago I had the choice to buy tickets to a Smackdown house show on a saturday night or a Raw TV show. Because the Smackdown show was on a saturday and most of my friends could make it that night I decided the buy the Smackdown tickets.

Now as the last few months have rolled by I kept thinking that Raw doesn't come within 30 miles of you very much so today I stumped out £205 ($320) for 2 tickets on row 4 near the corner of the ring/next to the commentators. I knew I would regret it if I didn't get the tickets and The Miz cashed in that night or something...

So what is the most you guys have paid?

[Xero]

$75 for Mania 20 (nosebleeds) and FFW this year (floor).

I'd probably go upwards of $300 for a Mania, not counting rooming and travel.

[Stealth-Icon]

The only wrestling event that I would pay for is the cover charge at the local bar by me that has a monthly bikini wrestling night. Each time the ring is in something different. Jello, mud, oil, ice cream, etc.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Depends on the event. For a house show probably no more than ~$50, but if it was a major event I'd never been to such as a WrestleMania, then in the $100's for sure.

[Xero]

I don't think I'd ever go to a WWE house show again unless it was dirt cheap. I go to TV and PPV only.

Though I'm starting to go to Indy shows. For $10 to $25 I can get great seats and see some kick ass stuff. As it is I have DGate this Saturday and EVOLVE in 3 weeks for like $35 total.

[Razzamajazz]

~100 bucks for bragging rights tonight

[DaveWadding]

I paid $83 for my WM ticket this year. That's probably the most.

[Stealth-Icon]

Bragging Rights is only about 20 minutes from my house tonight. I thought about going to some of the strip clubs by the event to see who stops by on the roster after the show.

[Chavo Classic]

Nothing over £50 ($80) unless it was something special like front rows seats at Mania or Summerslam.

To be honest, I think there's a lot more value in paying for front row seats and a meet-and-greet/Q&A session at an indy fed.

[JimmyMess]

Paid $100 for WM 18 in Toronto (lower bowl, under the second bowl)

- would only ever justify paying more than that would be for ringside seats to WM.

[VSG]

I have decided to have a ~ $500 seat for Wrestlemania before it hits WM 30. Although I think they go upto ~300 and then shoot upto $750 or so. It will probably depend on my financial condition/mood at that time.

[Cool King]

£35. ($54 USD, $55 AUD, $56 CAD)

[Eklipse]

The only way I would go to an event is if I had front row seats.

The old lady and I are gonna' go to WM in 2012...with the travel packages...

So we're lookin...perhaps $2,000.

[Blue Demon]

I paid $200 for my WrestleMania 20 ticket. That's probably the limit for me in terms of pricing. I may splurge one day to try and get ringside for Mania one year, we'll see.

[Chavo Classic]

So we're lookin...perhaps $2,000.

$2,000 seems a lot for what is essentially 4 hours of entertainment. There are better holidays you could get for that tag.

Week worth of events...
HoF ceremony
Fan Axxess
Private Autograph session
Front row at Mania
Front row at following RAW.

Still... $2,000. I'm not sure I like wrestling that much, certainly not as much as five-days in five-star all-exclusive hotels.

You do have a good point...but that is the most I would ever spend (for 2 ppl)

[Jeritron]

Probably going to pay 75 or something around that for tickets to Royal Rumble in a few months. Maybe even closer to 100. I'm not sure, but I'd really only spend that much for Royal Rumble or Mania

[MoFo]

For a ticket not that much, but with flights to US and that, it'd come to over a grand. I'd only do that for Rumble, Mania or Summerslam, mind.

[Shaved Monkey]

I can't say I'd really have a limit. It depends on what it is and how badly I want to see it. I think I can safely say though that I doubt I would spend more than $500 on a ticket to see anything.

Really? I remember being on vacation in Green Bay, WI, and visiting Lambeau Field. Had I been staying the night (this was in '07 or so), I would have definitely jumped at the chance to go to the arena across the street, which was where they were holding an ECW event, not sure if it was the televised stuff or just for the crowds, but either way, I always think about what could've been...

[Team Sheep]

$755 :(

[parkmania]

Paid $410 for the missus and I to go to last year's Bragging Rights. 5th row floor seats behind the "face" corner of the ring. I don't get to go to weekday shows due to my job, and it was 3 days before my birthday.

[RGWhat316]

Most I ever paid was $100 for WM 23 seats. And they werent that great anyways. Just paid $20 last night for a TNA house show.

If I was on vacation or something and there was a WWE house show, sure, I'd probably go. But there's enough wrestling around here (Central Jersey, probably 1 event within a half hour of me on a monthly basis from a major indy promotion) that I could pay $15 for good seats at, say, an ROH event vs $20 for shitty seats at a house show. Plus the in-ring action at the ROH event is going to be 100 times better than anything WWE can give me top to bottom.

[Kapoutman]

Paid 30 bucks to see Breaking Point in Montreal last year. Paid about the same to see No Way Out 2003 featuring The Rock vs Hogan 2.

[dronepool]

I never been to a show but if paid more than 60 I would feel weird about spending that much.

Yes, those are some nice prices.

I don't remember the prices back then, but they were cheaper than today's prices for tickets, that's for damn sure.
