Trips in the main event leads to new attendance record

Reverse 750 Splash That 84K Stimulus

Observer:
The WWE has officially broken the company all-time attendance record at WrestleMania 32.

Tickets are almost sold out, and according to sources with access to the direct numbers, the number of tickets out was 84,000 as of 3/8. Unless they open up standing room tickets, the final real number will be very slightly over that amount.

The number breaks the actual real WWE company record of 79,127 tickets out for the August 29, 1992 SummerSlam show headlined by Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith and Ultimate Warrior vs. Randy Savage at Wembley Stadium in London. WrestleMania III was the largest U.S. crowd in history with 78,000 as the legitimate attendance.

Like so many big events these days, so much of that is because ticket brokers when they feel a show will have great demand, scoop up tons of tickets. I don’t know the number but previous WrestleManias had 25,000 or more tickets bought for resale and not to attend, and this show the number was likely higher since that industry is stronger than the past.

What's legitimate attendance? Like people that actually attended? I thought wm3 had more than that. Maybe I was wrong.

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Congrats wwe. Don't know how anyone would want to go attend after seeing 84,000 are attending...


Nope would have a panic attack in the crowd

Legitimate attendance is the actual amount of people in there
different from the legitimate ticket sales, since they sometimes give away tickets (Meltzer said they gace away 11,000 tickets for the last WM in Orlando)
and the 3rd number is the WWE announced (ducktales) number where they just make shyt up (see; wm3 supposedly doing 93k)

Meltzer says wm3 sold 78k vs. the ducktales number of 93k

Triple H had months to sell out Jerry's World but didn't

Young Simba da GAWD out here breaking records

Is this not because it's the venue with the highest capacity they've done a Mania in since they moved to the stadium setting after 22?

I've always thought it was 93k in attendance but they gave away 15,000 tickets to fill in the arena.

as someone who tried to buy tix, they already have a ton of SRO tix avaliable

And they will still announce 10-15K more as the official attendance number (I didn't know until this week that the attendance record announcement they do falls under "entertainment" and not actual fact)

Meltz also says the announced gate ($) includes the service fee, which no one else does. Gotta love WWE sticking to their carny heritage

Jesus imagine standing for 4 hours at WM. I'm trying to get drunk, eat, and take a nap during the boring stuff

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

No doubt benefitting from the Shane stimulus. But I'll be curious to see what the actual attendance is

84K sounds low IMO. Cowboy that place can hold 100,000 easily for a football game.

A small wrestling ring and entrance set-up should alot easily for 100,000 ppl
