What the hell is up with Wrestlemania ticket sales this year?
Read where there are still tens of thousands of tickets available for Wrestlemania 26, that was hard for me to believe, so I went to ticketmaster.com, searched for 1 ticket with best available seating, and you won't believe this....

Section 1, Row 4 came up!!! Thats right, section one, which according to the seating chart is the section directly behind the announcers table. 4th row ringside. I have never seen tickets on ticketmaster available that were that good only 3 days prior to Wrestlemania. I hope mania's arena doesn't look like Texas Stadium during the old WCCW events.

bostonbill41 does not have that much rep yet (10+)
Maybe because those ringside seats go for $750.

if they don' sell them all they'll give them away to kids or something charitable to fill the seats... guarantee you won't see any empty seats in the house.

If there are "tens of thousands" of tickets still available then no, they won't fill it.

Odds are good that Row 1 seat 4 $800 ticket is there because no one wants to be a loser and spend that much money to sit by themselves at WM.

I almost guarantee they do a spot where Uecker is sitting all the way at the top of the stadium somewhere in the cheap seats.

WWE has been having some problem the past few years selling the more expensive seats ever since they started to reach "Superbowl"-range prices (aka raising normal seat prices by using the special status of the event as the reason why).

I forget which year it was when they 1st introduced the idea of taking the seat home as a collector's piece as a way to explain the higher seating prices.

It's most likely due to the location. That and the product turning some people off in the past years.

What really really sucks about this is it's going to get blamed on the card, and it's one of the best Wrestlemania cards in years. Great matches, and great fueds. No divas and celebrity stuff either.
Now they'll have an excuse not to treat upcoming Wrestlemanias the way they have treated this one, which on paper is shaping up to be the best show in years.

WWE is family friendly, which is a tamer crowd. These are the types of fans who will attend local house shows, and tune in every week.
But is a 10 year old fan going to make the trip to Wrestlemania on their own? Are their parents going to shell out the dough to take them?

I think this is one of the things that comes with the territory of their new audience. They'll buy lots of glowsticks and action figures, but they are not going to get real hyped for Wrestlemania and make a long ass drive or flight.

At the same time, I don't get why any of the older, more hardcore fans would make the trip to a show like Wrestlemania 23, but not this one. That's why I think location is the biggest factor.

Tens of thousands sounds like an exaggeration. It probably means around 10 thousand are still remaining.

It is... a little close to 10 thousand remain... C'Mon guys... Economy is driving this... Not lack of anything else... It is way cheaper to buy the PPV in this economy then to go to the event... WWE is actually one of the only really successful companies in the black, WAY in the black in this economy...But expensive WM tix... when you can buy HD WM for $70 for as many people as you can fit in your home... Do the math...

I'm looking forward to it. I love Arizona but it's probably not the most convenient for traveling from any distance on the East Coast. I thought it was funny that Cole kept saying Phoenix the other night when its really in Glendale which is no where near Phoenix.

PS If I didn't have family there Id be staying home and buying the PPV
