A first-time-ever experience is on offer for fans at WWE WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The two-night WWE Premium Live Event takes place on April 18 & 19, and for the first time in the forty-two year history of the show, fans will be able to purchase seats in a unique location.

As confirmed in a release on the WWE website, fans can “purchase seats positioned atop the iconic WrestleMania 42 set”.

Per the full announcement:

“WWE, in partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), today announced that fans can purchase seats positioned atop the iconic WrestleMania 42 set for the first time ever when the Premium Live Event takes place on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

“Limited tickets for the premium seats, which offer fans a one-of-a-kind elevated viewing experience inside the stadium, will go on sale Friday, March 20, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.com.

“Each year, WrestleMania features a theme-based set that transforms the host stadium and enhances the live event experience. In 2025, the custom-built WrestleMania 41 set leaned into the tradition of Las Vegas, incorporating a resort-inspired design to reflect the city’s iconic entertainment culture.

“The WrestleMania 42 set will be unveiled in the days leading up to the event.”

With WrestleMania 42 taking place at the same venue as last year’s two-night show, the 2025 PLE was reportedly named by TKO as the “most successful event in WWE history.”

The Cost Of Being A WWE Fan

The cost of attending a WWE event in person has been on the rise over recent years, with an unnamed high-level source reportedly noting that the audience exists, but “are they inclined to pay ten gazillion dollars for tickets”?

The recent issues of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that 37,520 tickets had been sold for Night One, with 38,470 for Night Two.

According to Dave Meltzer, WWE has been reducing ticket prices for the lower brackets, with $177 being the least fans can expect to pay, down from $228 for Night One and $254 for Night Two.

In 2022, it was reported that average ticket prices for that year’s WrestleMania 38, which also took place across two nights, was $308, compared to the $8,869 average for Super Bowl 56.

A PW Insider report from September of last year revealed that Section A1 on floor seats at WrestleMania 42 would set fans back $8,998.00, with the 400 Section seating costing $854.15.

WrestleMania 41 “drew 124,693 fans across two nights”, according to the previously mentioned report on the PLE’s success.
