WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi commented on his recent podcast about the high prices of ticket for WWE events under TKO. He also said there are no more comp tickets given by out.
“I don’t know about the ticket prices with TKO because even my family members now, they will usually call me for tickets but it’s too difficult now. There’s a lot of loopholes you have to go through and blah blah blah. Even though I’m not with the company full, I’m still in the legends contract with WWE. So you know, you would think that family members and friends, close friends, you’d still have those comp tickets, but there is no comp tickets. I can probably try to get them discounted, but I don’t know what’s discounted nowadays. Like a $1000 ticket for a family of five and a man working nine to five through the whole week and the family loves wrestling. It’s very difficult to be able to take a family to events.”
Rikishi also said that you really need to “hit the lottery” to even afford nosebleed seats at WWE events.
“I know back in the day for us, man, you had tickets like $25, $50. I don’t know, front row seat was 75 or something like that. But now, boy, you really got to hit the lottery to even sit up in the nosebleeds, right?”
