STAMFORD, Conn., April 25, 2013 – WWE® (NYSE:WWE) today announced that WrestleMania 29, held Sunday, April 7 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, grossed an excess of $72 million, the highest grossing event in WWE history. In addition, WrestleMania 29 will once again exceed 1 million global pay-per-view buys and attracted a sold out crowd of 80,676 fans from all 50 states and 34 countries at MetLife Stadium.

To put that number in perspective, WrestleMania 28 grossed $67 million and drew 1.3 million pay-per-view buys in 2012.
Quote:
The PPV, always WWE’s biggest each year, again generated more than 1 million buys for the company worldwide. While total purchases of “WrestleMania 29” are still being tabulated by cable companies and other platforms that offered show, preliminary numbers estimate that it will reach around 1.2 million, less than the record 1.3 million sold for the Miami event, but those figures could still increase.

http://variety.com/2013/biz/news/wre...we-1200414828/
The decision to increase Mania's price by about $10 paid off for the WWE in the end.

Still the potential for the domestic buys ending up being lower than usual while the international buys might end up being the highest in Mania history.

WWE doesn't give a shit if the buys are in Utah or Ethiopia. A buy is a buy. Growing internationally helps protect you (somewhat) from fluctuating domestic markets.

$72 million dollars! That's impossible because the WWE sux and Antonion Cesaro didn't rassle and CM PUnk didn't win every belt!

I remember last year after Mania and Street Jimmy was pissing on the Wrestlemania buys even though it was like record-breaking money they made.

Oh well. As a now super-casual fan I can say honestly I had no interest in watching Cena VS. Rock 2 (Twice in a lifetime), Triple H VS. Lesnar, or anything else on the match. Well, not completely true, kinda wanted to see Punk VS. Taker, but only because I liked their last PPV match together.

I wasn't really sold on the Wrestlemania before this, but I think I watched it online illegally or at least part of it. I know the Mania before that with Cena VS. The Miz had me interested and wanting to watch, but I was at sea so I didn't get to check it out. Was happy when The Miz won.

No surprise the buyrate is reportedly lower than expected. WWE kinda "mailed it in" this year, they didn't go all-out with the build-ups like they usually do.

The main build-up we saw was for the Punk/Taker match, it started off somewhat "late" and just revolved around Paul Bearer's death. Rock wasn't around that much compared to the previous year, his match with Cena was a rematch.

It just wasn't a good lead-up to the company's biggest show of the year. The "Road to WrestleMania" wasn't what we're used to seeing.

You realise this has already been shot down by the numbers, right? It seems that WWE can mail it in and still make more money than last year.

I wonder if the WWE will go all-out at WrestleMania next year, or if this will be a signal to them that they can "phone it in" and just go with rematches? The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar is rumored to be happening, and while I've got no interest in the match, I'm sure that will be good for the WWE's purse.

WWE released the official preliminary buyrates for Wrestlemania 29. Still breaks the record in regards to money made but won't break the buyrate record from last year.

Depending on the final numbers it can go as high as 3rd best (1.1) and as low as 5th best (1.5) for all-time.

WWE did not include numbers for international and domestic breakdowns. Although this number is slightly down from Wrestlemania 28 in terms of total buys, it is likely that it will still be the highest grossing due to the increased PPV price, more places to watch the event, etc.

The final PPV buy total will be released sometime in August. Look for WWE to tout their success and round the total buys to about 1.1 million.

I watched WM29 on my X-Box and had no problems whatsoever. I love the service especially since my cable company doesn't offer the HD feed of PPVs.
