WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas shattered all prior records for ticket sales revenue in pro wrestling history. The two events combined for $66,074,558 in ticket sales, according to data obtained by POST Wrestling from live event trade publication Pollstar. Each night generated about $33 million in sales, well beyond any pro wrestling event in history, even when taking inflation into account.
The events, which took place at Allegiant Stadium on April 19 and 20 last year, sold a total of 113,412 tickets. Attendance numbers from the authority that oversees the stadium reported that the attendance for each night was 58,538 on Saturday and 60,103 on Sunday, which totals to 118,641.
The revenue breakdown across the two nights is likely close to evenly split, with Sunday potentially being slightly higher than Saturday. A slightly more lucrative Sunday would align with WrestleMania’s performance in 2024 in Philadelphia, when Night 1 drew $17,656,965 and Night 2 drew $18,433,325.
Night 1 in Las Vegas was main evented by a Seth Rollins win over Roman Reigns and CM Punk in a triple threat match. Night 2 ended with John Cena winning the Undisputed WWE Title from Cody Rhodes. These figures represent the top two highest inflation-adjusted pro wrestling gates of all-time. Until WrestleMania 41, Night 2 of WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia stood as the highest gate in real-time dollars. Adjusting for inflation, WrestleMania 32 in 2016 in Arlington, Texas, was the previous recordholder with its $17.3 million gate equal to about $23 million today. Each night in Las Vegas surged past that number by about $10 million.
Record-breaking gates coincided with record-breaking ticket prices as part of a strategy by WWE and parent company TKO to bring pricing in line with major concerts and the UFC. The average ticket sale for WrestleMania last year was about $635, nearly doubling the Philadelphia WrestleMania. Beyond ticket sales, WWE also benefited from a $5 million site fee from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).
In addition to the site fee, WWE qualified for another $4.2 million in tax credits through Nevada’s film program, bringing the incentives for last year’s WrestleMania to about $9.2 million. Other events in Las Vegas in 2025 at the T-Mobile Arena also drew significant revenue. SmackDown on April 18 generated $2.5 million, NXT Stand & Deliver drew $924,000, and the Raw after WrestleMania on April 21 drew $3.48 million.
