Same thing happened to me trying to get Royal Rumble tickets this year. I later found out they went on sale exclusively to people who went to a Smackdown in Philly around October or so, then after various presales not much was left for the regular on sale date. I'd imagine something like that happened for Summerslam tickets too. I was bummed not to be able to go until I watched the event on the Network and saw how shitty (aside from the triple threat) it was

Considering how easily leaked presale codes are, I wonder why they bother with them.

Ive learned that for 'big events'- maybe 'events I actually *care* to go to' is a better term- finding a presale code is a must.

I'm just going to get them off StubHub. Summerslam tickets have been on StubHub since last Monday after the first presale. It's ridiculous.

I wanted to get two tickets and couldn't. Which means I'm gonna have to go through Stubhub if I want to go now.

Does SummerSlam usually sell out that quickly? Well it's in NY a metero that has a population of a small country in a small arena. But basically stubhub and services like kijiji/craigslist gives the opportunity to make scalping a full time career. Like when AC/DC announced they were coming to Edmonton and ticketmaster was selling tickets at 10am, I logged in around 10:03am and it told me to wait for 45 minutes and all the tickets were sold out but there was nearly 20,000 tickets on Stubhub and other third party sites selling a single ticket for 9 grand. I remember when Paul McCartney came to town here, a guy sold two front row tickets for $24,000 and he never had any intentions of seeing the show. He just knew he could sell the tickets for a absurd amount of money at the last minute. But yeah you could make serious bank from legal online scalping thanks to stubhub and other sites.

Considering I highly doubt these ripoff prices will cause these to be sold out any time soon Oh I know. I always buy WWE tickets a month or two before because all the idiots overcharging drop the price down because they need to make quick cash. Plus WWE/Barclays are the ones scalping them. It's like the most legal way for scalpers to do it.

From my experience, this has been the case since the early '90s. Probably true for the '80s as well, but I can't speak from experience. I remember being the first person in line at an arena box office and the first rows were already sold out. I didn't understand it. This was before online as well. I think this has probably been a common thing going back a very long time, it's just the manner in which these tickets get sold early might change over time due to technology.

I didn't have any plans to go, but that sucks for people who wanted to.
Summerslam usually has a kind of Fan Axxess, right? I might go to that.

LOL. Why have a pre-sale if there's nothing left to sell for the sale? Is it not then just the sale? How long until the pre-sale has a pre-sale has it's own pre-sale?

They'll probably announce a full NXT show closer to the event itself, given that NXT is starting as a touring brand.

Could be fun. We got an NXT title match between Adrian Neville and Tyson Kidd at the house show I went to last year and it was probably the best match of the night.

Wait, THAT many people want to see World Champion Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton? It'll probably be their 14th or 15th match by then too! No joke, buying SummerSlam tickets with this booking is begging for this match.

Does SummerSlam usually sell out that quickly? In 2006 I managed to get tickets at around 4 PM on the official day they went on sale.

Sorry guys, I was first in line and bought 30,000 tickets. Since I only had $10 on me, I gotta pay the rest later, so I put them on StubHub.
