For the first time since 1999, Philadelphia will host one of pro wrestling's biggest events of the year, WrestleMania. WWE heads to Lincoln Financial Field for two nights of action from April 6-7.
WrestleMania is considered the Super Bowl of pro wrestling, with fans from all over the world flying to the U.S. to attend “The Grandest Stage of Them All.” The event airs on Peacock in the U.S. and the WWE Network outside it.
Over the years, WrestleMania has gone from Madison Square Garden in New York, baseball stadiums, to most recently football stadiums. Like the venues, the price of admission has changed dramatically over the years. Some have had to sell an arm and a leg to be part of history, while others have bought their tickets early enough at a decent price.
Fan favorites like Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley, Logan Paul, Kevin Owens, Bayley, and more are expected to attend the event. With WrestleMania becoming a two-night event, there are still plenty of tickets available. However, keep in mind as you head closer to the event, prices will fluctuate.
