Report: WWE Talent Frustrated With Ticket Policy Change
Frustration within WWE over acquiring tickets
Nov 25, 2024
WWE have been amidst a boom period since 2022 but the company being a hot ticket has led to frustration amongst the organisation's talent.
Fightful Select has reported that internal comp tickets have been limited over the past number of years. These restrictions reached another level in recent weeks, though, with numerous WWE wrestlers expressing their frustration that comp tickets are often not available. Instead, talents have been issued a pre-sale link so friends and family can buy tickets before they go on general sale. If this is a talent-wide policy is unknown, but a number of wrestlers have been impacted by the change.
One talent noted they were unhappy with the change as there was no written update about the modification for talent, and they were instead informed by talent relations. Another wrestler, meanwhile, stated they had comp tickets approved months ago, only to be asked to provide a credit card to pay for the tickets the week of the event.
A WWE higher-up stated the change was a result of WWE's success, with the company said to be using fewer "seat fillers" than previous years.
WWE have broken multiple gate records in 2024, with Bash in Berlin sitting as the biggest arena show gate in company history. October's Bad Blood pay-per-view, meanwhile, broke WWE's domestic gate record.
