That on location partner is weird, why do they sell UK tickets in US dollars?
Anyway the fanciest package costs $3,250.00 and includes Friday Superstar Mini-Golf. Now I want to see Seth and Becky's golf outfits.

Hopefully there's a World title match this year.

Debating whether to cancel my Newcastle live event ticket and go to this instead. I'm in London during that time and am going to MITB.
I feel the live event will be more fun and i've never been to Newcastle.
Still it's a 3 hour train journey there and back and it's a lot more convienant. Plus there's the cost for a decent ticket and the having to resell the ticket through Ticket Master which i haven't had to do before. The ticket i got for the Newcastle show is a much better seat than i would get for SD. Plus even with transport and accommodation it would still fit in my budget.

Drew McIntyre wins Money in the Bank and cashes in on the same night. He's got Roman Reigns defeated when suddenly Reign's cousin twice removed recently signed to NXT hitherto unmentioned shows up to save the Bloodline. The triumphant return of Manu! Roman: "Okay, I have standards. Drew, pin me now." |

Got straight onto ticketmasters website on Friday at 12 and tickets were sold out just after I chose the prices. Assuming most were taken in the pre sales.
I’m not too bothered I got to go to Clash At the Castle so I’m just happy I got to go to that. 02 isn’t really my favourite venue anyway.

Ticketmaster are a bunch of thieving, price gouging parasites. Those prices are absolutely mental.

I've had to pay a disgusting amount of money for tickets to this that wasn't even close to the prices on the sites now.
I don't know who was responsible for setting the prices between WWE and Ticketmaster/AXS but it really shows contempt for the UK fanbase.

Ticketmaster causing controversy in the selling of tickets for a major event?

I've had to pay a disgusting amount of money for tickets to this that wasn't even close to the prices on the sites now. I don't know who was responsible for setting the prices between WWE and Ticketmaster/AXS but it really shows contempt for the UK fanbase. It feels like a group effort. WWE probably knew full well that they could charge this much and still have it sell out, and the venue is arguably too small considering how infrequently you get proper PPVs on this side of the Atlantic, especially off the back of the success of Clash At The Castle. But Ticketmaster charge insane service fees, and I think they basically tout tickets themselves now when there's something that's high demand, and at the very least they allow touts carte blanche to rip people off via their resale website because they can cane people for another £50 in fees.
I wonder as well how much they've been affected by the rising costs of events in general. Venues are clearly still trying to compensate for their COVID losses and now energy prices have shot up you've got higher costs associated with that, and after an event that shall not be named there's a lot more red tape - and so costs - associated with touring both the UK and the rest of Europe at the same time; I've noticed some touring music acts doing separate UK and rest of Europe tours in the past year or two.
I wasn't interested in shelling out that much money myself but I'm annoyed for the same reason you are, just the sheer arrogance of Ticketmaster and others and the disdain shown to consumers.

Live Nation, the company that owns Ticketmaster, lost a ton of money when you look at net income in 2020 and 2021, so I’m sure that’s the reason for increased fees in 2022 and 2023.
Their net income for 2020 was something like negative 1.7 billion, and then in 2021 negative 671 million, whereas even in 2022 their net income was only 149 million.

Out of curiosity, how much were the cheapest tickets originally?

I brought my tickets through the OnLocation site when the WWE first put up their packages. Spent quite a bit on the tickets but it was worth it to me. Glad i got in early enough because i'm sure i'd have had to pay a lot more now.

A friend of mine in the UK is obsessed with getting MITB tickets, and was really pissed after hearing about the sell out. I told him to calm down, its like 4 months away, be patient and wait until people are desperate to sell. He's not gonna find some miracle deal right now. I hope he gets to go, but he needs to relax.
