WrestleMania 41: Historic Return to Las Vegas Sparks Ticket Frenzy 

WrestleMania 41 will take place Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, marking WWE’s first major event in the city since 1993. The two-night event is expected to be a major milestone for the company, driven by key storyline developments and shifting trends within the wrestling industry. 

Below is a look at ticket market behavior, including Average Ticket Prices (ATP), Get In prices and a summary of major matches generating buzz ahead of the event. 

Ticket Market Trends: Pricing Compared to 2024 

Average Ticket Prices (ATP) 

As of today, Saturday’s show’s ATP is 53% higher compared to all 2024 sales, and Sunday’s show’s ATP is 62% higher compared to all 2024 sales. Demand is strongest for Sunday’s show, with year-over-year (YOY) ATP increases across several key pre-event windows: 

• +59% at 13 Days to Event (DTE)

• +52% at 11 DTE 

• +45% at 8 DTE 

In comparison, Saturday’s ATP data is more variable. While certain days show gains, including 9 DTE (+37%) and 1 DTE (+24%), other windows such as 8 DTE (-15%) and 3 DTE (-7%) reflect downward shifts. This suggests more price volatility and potentially softer demand for night one. 

Get-In Prices 

Get-in pricing reinforces the trend of stronger demand for Sunday, which features more marquee matches that will end with the headlined event of Cody Rhodes vs John Cena. Get-In Prices at 2 DTE are 75% higher for Sunday. Get-In Prices are also up considerably YOY with Sunday showing the higher increase. 

• Saturday:
  • +33.1% at 14 DTE
  • +23.4% at 12 DTE

• Sunday: 
  • +165.6% at 10 DTE 
  • +96% at 2 DTE 

While some zones have seen corrections compared to 2024, the overall trajectory is upward, particularly for the final night. These increases indicate both baseline interest and elevated buyer urgency as the event approaches.  

Event Highlights and Storylines 

WrestleMania 41 presents a lineup that blends established stars, rising talent and high-profile returns. Several matches carry historical significance and long-building narratives: 

• Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena: Cena returns in a heel role for the first time in over two decades to challenge Rhodes for the WWE Championship. The match carries high stakes, as Cena looks to surpass Ric Flair’s all-time record and become a 17-time world champion. He has also stated his intent to retire as a champion, adding further gravity to the outcome.  
• Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles: United States Champion Logan Paul faces AJ Styles in a match fueled by personal animosity. Their feud began after Styles questions Paul’s place in WWE, leading to escalating confrontations and an attack at Elimination Chamber. The match pairs Paul’s growing in-ring reputation with Styles’ veteran skill, creating one of the card’s most talked-about showdowns.  
• Bron Breakker’s Debut: The son of WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner will make his first WrestleMania appearance in a Fatal Four-Way match. As one of WWE’s most prominent developmental talents, Breakker is expected to play a significant role in the company’s future and this match represents a major step forward.  
• Rey Mysterio: At age 50, Mysterio is preparing for what could be one of his final marquee appearances. His match adds a layer of nostalgia and legacy to the weekend, particularly for longtime fans.  
• Jade Cargill vs. Naomi: Although not for a title, this women’s singles match is drawing attention due to the personal rivalry between Cargill and Naomi. Their back-and-forth has unfolded across weekly programming and social media, giving the match a strong narrative foundation and positioning it as one of the more anticipated women’s bouts on the card.  

WrestleMania 41 is positioned to be one of the most significant events in recent WWE history, both in terms of fan interest and broader cultural visibility. With major matchups like Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena and Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles, the card balances legacy moments with rising stars and crossover appeal.  

Speculation continues around a possible appearance by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who headlined WrestleMania 40. While unconfirmed, ongoing rumors are contributing to increased anticipation and activity on the secondary ticket market.  

From milestone performances to potential surprises, WrestleMania 41 is set to deliver a memorable weekend in Las Vegas.
