WWE is returning to Madison Square Garden for an episode of Monday Night Raw on November 17, and fans who want to be close to the action will have to be ready to pay a premium price. The official pre-sale for the event has launched, and the ticket prices, particularly for the ringside and lower-level seats, are high. This is also John Cena’s final WWE Raw so this is to be expected.
According to the listings on Ticketmaster, the top-tier “Ringsider Package” is listed at a staggering $2,958.25 before Ticketmaster fees. This VIP package includes a limited-edition ringside chair, an autograph from a WWE superstar, and other exclusive merchandise.
For fans who want to be close to the action without the full VIP package, the prices are still at a premium level. Platinum seats are listed at $1,107, while the regular ringside floor sections are priced at $815.25. Seats in the back floor sections are listed at $398.30. The prices for the rest of the arena are also at a premium. The 100-level seats are listed at $372.20, the 200-level seats are at $276.25, and the 400-level seats are at $193.25. The 300-level seats are not currently available during the pre-sale.
The high ticket prices for the Madison Square Garden show are part of a larger trend for WWE. In recent years, the company has been breaking live gate records in almost every market it visits. While this is a sign of the company’s booming popularity, it has also been a point of frustration for some fans who feel they are being priced out of the live experience.
The November 17 episode of Raw is sure to be a newsworthy show as it will be the final stop on the road to Survivor Series: WarGames.
