If you plan to attend WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, be prepared for record-setting prices. Ticket costs for next year’s showcase have been revealed, signaling WWE’s new corporate direction.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider confirmed the pricing ahead of the official on-sale this Wednesday, September 24. The two-day packages, excluding Ticketmaster and handling fees, show a massive jump: seats in the upper 400 level of Allegiant Stadium start at $854.15, while a premium Section A1 floor seat costs $8,998.00.
The increase reflects TKO Group Holdings’ strategy for live events, moving away from the family-focused model of the Vince McMahon era. The change follows comments from TKO COO Mark Shapiro last week, noting the company had not been maximizing ticket revenue.
This approach mirrors the UFC model, using dynamic pricing and inventory management to drive profits across all premium live events.
WrestleMania 42 takes place April 18 and 19, 2026, marking the second straight year the event will be held in Las Vegas. It will also be the first WrestleMania to stream in the U.S. on ESPN’s direct-to-consumer platform, part of a five-year deal that begins this month and ends WWE’s run on Peacock.
