Leadership mobilizes departments as sales trail internal expectations
Summary
– WWE held a multi-department meeting over WrestleMania 42 ticket sales
– Current distribution numbers are reportedly below company expectations
– No immediate plans to reduce ticket pricing
WWE has reportedly taken internal action amid falling ticket sales for WrestleMania 42. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the company held a multi-department meeting on February 11 to address the situation ahead of the two-night event at Allegiant Stadium.
Sources indicate leadership acknowledged that current ticket distribution numbers are lower than anticipated. Departments across the company have been instructed to develop and roll out new promotional strategies beginning in late February to increase momentum before April.
Despite speculation that ticket prices could be reduced to stimulate demand, WWE is reportedly maintaining its current pricing structure for now.
The internal response follows recent commentary suggesting creative uncertainty surrounding the event’s lineup. Reports indicate that a complete card was mapped out before the Royal Rumble but has since undergone changes. Some within the company have reportedly expressed frustration over adjustments being made despite no official lineup being publicly announced.
While CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns is believed to be set, other potential marquee matches remain fluid. Observers have suggested that the overall costs of attending the Las Vegas event, including travel and accommodations, may also be affecting ticket demand.
Recent figures from WrestleTix reported approximately 36,000 tickets distributed per night at this stage, which is lower than the comparable point last year. WrestleMania 41 ultimately reached between 56,000 and 60,000 tickets per night, leaving notable ground to cover.
With weeks remaining before the event, WWE appears focused on increasing sales through intensified promotional efforts rather than immediate price adjustments.
