WWE

WWE has announced that it has broken an all-time live-gate record in one day, continuing their streak of record-breaking.

It was recently reported that WrestleMania 40 ticket sales had broken the company’s all-time gate record that was previously broken by WrestleMania 39.

WWE has now confirmed the details in a recently issued press release, stating:

WrestleMania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia Sells More than 90,000 Tickets and
Surpasses the WrestleMania 39 Total Gross of $21.6 Million

STAMFORD, Conn., August 21, 2023 – WWE® (NYSE: WWE) today announced that WrestleMania 40 broke the company’s all-time gate record in one day. The previous total gross record – $21.6 million – was set earlier this year at WrestleMania 39 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

WrestleMania 40, which takes place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7, sold more than 90,000 tickets when it went on sale last Friday.

The record gate comes on the heels of unprecedented ticket sales demand for WWE in 2023, which to date has produced the highest-grossing gates of all-time for premium live events such as SummerSlam, Royal Rumble and Money In The Bank. SummerSlam, which emanated from Ford Field in Detroit earlier this month, generated a record gate of $8.5 million, the largest gate for any non-WrestleMania event ever.

Additionally, On Location has sold more fan experience packages for WrestleMania 40 than all of WrestleMania 39 and broke the all-time revenue record for a single WWE event in this area.

Limited tickets for WrestleMania 40 are still available via https://www.ticketmaster.com/. In addition, limited exclusive ticket packages are available for WrestleMania 40 via On Location. WrestleMania 40 Priority Passes offer the WWE Universe the chance to be ringside for every exhilarating moment, including premium seating, pre-show hospitality with WWE Superstar appearances, ringside photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise and more.

It’s been quite a year for WWE when it comes to rec0rd-breaking gates, including WWE Money in the Bank being the highest-grossing arena show in WWE history.

With Money in the Bank being held in the United Kingdom, this wasn’t the only international success for the company with Puerto Rico’s WWE Backlash being the highest-grossing and most-viewed Backlash event in WWE history.
