This thread is meant to help inform as well as hype the attendees of wrestling's biggest event. I will perioically update the information below and welcome any suggestions or additional event information that people would like to contribute. Thank you!

Wrestlemania Pro-Am Golf Tournament

It can’t be a major event without a golf tournament! We combine the rich history of Miami golf and the excitement of the WWE for a fun day on Doral’s legendary Blue Monster. The WrestleMania Pro-Am Golf Tournament, benefiting a local charity, has quickly become a favorite of both the “pros” and the “ams”. Celebrities will join WWE Superstars, Divas, and Legends in foursomes for 18-holes at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa.

This event is not open to the general public, only registered participants. Check back soon for additional information on how to register your foursome or sponsor this exciting event.

Kick Off Party

The WrestleMania XXVIII Kick-Off Party marks the beginning of WrestleMania Week in Miami and starts to build the buzz for the match of the century between The Rock Vs John Cena. Part will be on 3/24/12 but other info is still TBD.

Immerse yourself in the WWE Universe and Miami’s flair for big-time parties, as we kick-off the week in style. A great time and a unique WWE experience will get the festivities started.

No news yet on the Wrestlemania Art Show, Bagels & Biceps Brunch, etc. I will update this thread with whatever hype comes in.

3/14/2012 Updates:

[glow=red,2,300]PARKING[/glow]

Wrestlemania:
-This really blows. Parking for the event is $35 (available through ticketmaster.com or the day of the event) AND you have to pay tolls on your way in. If you can, carpool with others and split the costs or bus it in if you can.

WWE HOF & Raw Parking:
-Looks like there are mixed reviews about their parking setup. You can buy advanced tickets through ticketmaster.com for $22.50+ fees. However, there are other lots surrounding the venue that are likely $5 or more cheaper. Here is a map of available parking near the arena:
d2yex7fc50u2fe.cloudfront.net/pdfs/Event_parking_options.pdf

Axxess Parking:
-There is a large parking lot across the street from the Miami Beach Convention Center (home of Axxess). There is also what appears to be a parking garage down the street as well (possibly part of a mall?).

Wrestlereunion/DGUSA/$5W Parking:
For those going to Wrestlereunion, Dragon Gate USA, $5 Wrestling, or any of the other events at the Deauville Beach Resort:
-If valet parking is full, use the public parking lot at 72 Street and take the free Deauville Beach Resort Shuttle Service.
-All meters operate from 8am until 6pm, after 6pm and until 8am meters are oof until the next morning.
-There are also Public Parking lots at 64th and Collins, 65th and Indian Creek Road as well as 68th just west of Collins.


Also, cards for Wrestlereunion VII, DGUSA, ROH, and more have been announced and updated. For that information, please visit their respective sites (most likely already linked somewhere above).

Quick update for anyone interested in Axxess:

All VIP tickets sold out in minutes. I have also read that Sunday morning is the best time to attend if you don't want to deal with crowds.

[KevFalcön07]

Excellent info. I'm only attending the Hall of Fame ceremony and Wrestlemania, it seems. I'm staying Miami from 3/29 - 4/2. I was considering maybe going to the ROH event on Friday night, but prices were pretty ridiculous when I checked. Guess I'll just enjoy the sights of Miami on Friday. Might change my mind, as it would be neat to see guys like Generico, Steen, Richards outside of SoCal for once.

[Mac]

I'll be at Wrestlemania Section 112

I'm skipping the HOF, That really pissed me off that I got an early order code because I ordered WM tickets but when I went to sign on 5 minutes after sales opened they only had upper level garbage seats while stubhub had dozens and dozens of primo floor seats 500% above marked value.

I have AXXESS tickets, we got the VIP passes for the CM Punk meet and greet.

[Mac]

scratch that, section 12

[zing]

I am so ridiculously jealous Need to hurry up and win the lottery so I can join you guys.

[lildude8218]

I really should book my hotel one of these days. Really hating the distance between the HOF ceremony and Mania.

[Chris]

I'll have a rental car if you wanna split parking ;-)

[dabossftw]

I'll be there. Section 441. Cheap seats, but it's looking right down on the ring from the hard camera side. Should be great. Staying in Plantation Saturday and Sunday night. I intend on making a trip to Miami Beach for WrestleReunion, the Legends show, and $5 Wrestling.

Thanks Chris for all the great info in one place!

[Rolent Tex]

I'll be driving up the day of since I'm only a few hours away and cheap.

That and my seats are up there in East Bumf***. My buddy I bought tickets for better show up or I'll kill him since I could have used that money for better seats.

[Dee Jay]

Has anyone got any recommendations for bars/restaurants that might be showing Raw in Miami? We'll be flying in from London on the Monday before Wrestlemania so I'm not sure how else we could watch Raw that night.

[Snowman]

Thanks to the OP for the excellent post. I'm flying I'm from the uk the Monday before Wm and flying back out the day after raw. Pretty exited. I'm in section f10 for mania, section 8 for hall of fame and I think section 3 for raw.

[Deleted]

Me and Mr Snrub off here will be with three other people in Section 113. 4 Scousers and 1 Brummy. Winners.

Not heading to the Hall of Fame/Raw as we intend to be quite...well we're in Miami, have decided to place no limits on spending and are buzzed for fulfilling a dream, so instead of that we'll just be playing football on a beach and not sleeping...

Absolutely thrilled to be going...

[JDviant]

Can't make it to that show, but I'll be going to FCW's show 4/6 to see Del Rio if any of you other FL locals are.

[BatPunk]

I'll be there, sitting in F15. No Hall of fame for me as I'll be going to the Dragon Gate show No Raw for me either, as I was tossing up between Raw and the Heat/76ers game and I've never been to an NBA game before, so ballin' it is!

It's looking to be a HUGE week!!!!

[MiLB Fan]

Oh it's on now! Just got a package from FedEx with all my tickets and seating maps.

I'm kinda disappointed there's no "Morning Madness" autograph session at the hotel this year. Oh well.

Looking over the itinerary, I love how it says for each event, you have to present a ticket at the arena/stadium. Get outta here WWE! Really?! And here I thought we could get in for free!

[Deleted]

So last night, my cousin calls me. I was in class, and he knew this, so I thought something was up. I get a break and call him, and he asks me "Do you want to go to Wrestlemania?" And I was like "what, next year?" and he said "NO. In one month". He found two tickets in section 145, $230 apiece. I live in Cleveland, he lives in North Carolina, and neither of us have much money, BUT we're both lifetime fans...so after a lot of finangling with buses/car rentals...we're going to Wrestlemania! Before last night, I had no thought of even trying to go, though I was looking ahead to New Jersey next year as a possibility. It still hasn't sunk in, but damn...its going to be insane! I've never even been to a PPV event, let alone something like this.

[Chris]
