I live in the New York area and headed to WM next weekend. I see where there are still general admission tickets available on Ticketmaster for WWE Axxess. I was wondering if anybody here has ever been to Axxess, and if so, is it worth it if you aren't doing any of the VIP packages? I notice there was several superstar VIP packages where you get an autograph/photo with a select wrestler, but those are super expensive. Other than that, do you still get photos and autographs with the lower card talent with general admission? Your opinions appreciated.

Yeah, if you're willing to wait in the queues, most of the roster would be available for meet and greets over the course of the week. For example, here's the non-VIP groups for this year...
Plus, they're really starting to load the matches up at Axxess with these Worlds Collide cards, so you'd probably see some pretty good wrestling for your general admission now.

I’ve done Axxess four times.
The first thing to know is that you’ll be waiting in line. A lot. Every attraction has a line, from autographs to Undertaker’s graveyard to the little museum that holds WWE memorabilia. If you don’t have a VIP ticket, it can be a long wait just to enter the convention hall. (VIP ticket holders have a separate entrance and can practically walk right in.)
You can still get autographs with a GA ticket but like I said, you’ll be waiting awhile if the wrestler is especially popular. And they swap talent out about halfway through each session, so you run the risk of not being able to meet who you want.
If you’ve never done Axxess, I think it’s worth trying if only for the experience. When you step into the building, it can almost be sensory overload with all the WWE signage everywhere. You have to decide how you want to spend your allotted time: get a few autographs, or experience more of the other attractions. I liked the live matches they do with NXT talent—I saw what would be Paige’s final defense of the women’s title when she beat Bayley on the morning of WrestleMania 30.
I hope that helps; feel free to PM me with any additional questions.

Hell of a line-up there, and a chance to get some great photographs and meet the people you spend all year watching?
I’d be all over this if I had the chance.

Those VIP ticket prices are insane. It's $221 total for 3 regular tickets, which is a lot.

Very cool to go to once... don’t know if I’d want to go again.
So many people and lines and waiting.

Do they usually do a SummerSlam Axxess show, because I might want to go to it this year?

It’s worth doing at least once. Once you’ve done a session, you can decide if it’s worth doing for any future big shows.
It really depends on how much you value getting to meet wrestlers for photos or autographs, or if you want to see the stuff getting taped for Worlds Collide/NXT UK.

I didn't do any meet and greets, but the exhibits were worth every penny and more.

Imagine waiting in line for an hour and a half to shake hands with Rowan

I did it in 2016 and unless anything has changed since then, know this: an Axxess session lasts four hours, but at the halfway point, all the wrestlers signing autographs are swapped out. So if you get in a line to see Kevin Owens or whoever, by the time you reach the front of the line it could be someone totally different. I got in line to see Molly Holly, but by the time I reached the front it was DDP and X-Pac (which was at least a cool switcharoo). The next day I got in line for Samoa Joe and instead got Tye Dillinger. Less cool. So I recommend just getting in line for the first thing that looks cool rather than trying to scope out the whole floor before you make your decision.

I've always told my friends that it's the type of deal that you want to attend one time to experience it...but once you do you won't really have to do it again.

Typically how long is the wait in line per superstar, and can they sign an item of yours?
