CM Punk Demands Lower WrestleMania Prices In Fiery Pipe Bomb Speech

Punk said lower prices so families can attend as WrestleMania 42 remains unsold and WWE has offered discount sales, according to figures reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

  • On Monday, CM Punk demanded that WWE lower ticket prices for WrestleMania 42 during a segment on WWE Raw on Netflix, criticizing TKO executives and Pat McAfee for exorbitant costs.
  • Lagging ticket sales for the Las Vegas event stem from astronomical pricing set last year and a match card frequently tweaked due to injuries, leaving the event unsold out.
  • Combined ticket sales for the two-night event stand at 79,044, with Night 1 at 38,711 and Night 2 at 40,333; a March 16 sale discounted tickets 31.6 percent.
  • Pat McAfee suggested the main event landscape has gone "soft" compared to the Attitude Era, and despite adding John Cena as official host, ticket demand remains lower than last year.
  • WrestleMania 42 takes place at Allegiant Stadium on April 18 and April 19, where Punk aims to fill the venue for his heavyweight championship match against Roman Reigns in two weeks.
