>TKO President Mark Shapiro states that they are focused on further increasing ticket prices for WWE events.

ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT MAN

>>18792047 (OP)
so record profit isn't because more people watch WWE today, it's just that people pay more for it? grim

>>18792047 (OP)
none of you drones even go to the shows, which makes it easier to shitpost about ''muh record profits''.

>>18792047 (OP)
Based. Suck the marks DRY

I went to fastlane in 2023 with my dad and seats were $130 for both of us for amazing seats. the same seats for Wrestlepalooza, which is in the same building, are nearly $700 because they've turned them into VIP package seats, and all the surrounding seats are nearly $400. It's fucking insane how much the prices have gone up just since the last time I went. I went to the Rumble in February too and paid nearly $500 per ticket which was the final straw for me after how shit that rumble was. Can't justify spending that much on a ticket for Wrestlepalooza after that.

buy TKO and Klarna stocks

>$500
that would've got you a good seat at every Mania prior to like 40. They are rinsing fans dry and will get away with it as long as people keep going

if only you knew how bad things really are. listen to this shit from the shareholder call

this nigga thinks he can make wrestlepalooza into a WM tier PPV kek. they're so focused on somehow selling out crowds and also pumping up ticket prices. no wonder shit is getting out of hands. TKO is so out of touch.

LMMFFAO THIS KILLS WWE

>>18792090
I saw some picture a while back of a ringside ticket to WM 18 that was like $95.
I wish we could go back to before digital tickets were a thing

(((Shapiro)))

>>18792098
i think we need to apologize to hhh

This shit will eventually kill live sporting events in the US.

>>18792239
I honestly think all this E-celeb shit might be TKO now.

>>18792079
Why can't you just pay up? What's your problem? Ticket prices have gone up because wrestler contracts have gone up too. And do you know who is to blame for that? Tony Khan.

He keeps giving these multimillion dollar deals to all these wrestlers, man. So WWE has to outbid him if they want to keep guys like Cody Rhodes, Penta, CM Punk, Gunther, Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley.

Unlike Tony, WWE doesn't have infinite amount of money flowing in from Football. Wrestling is all they have. Increasing ticket prices is the only way they can compete with Tony offering these insane salaries to all wrestlers. Without this, WWE would lose their entire roster to this toy collector. If AEW dies then I guarantee that both the ticket prices and the wrestlers' salaries will go down.

>B-B-But AEW!!!!
kek tko does not give af about you watch something else ya mark

I don't follow UFC. Are the ticket prices really that insane?

>>18792276
you disingenuous piece of garbage

>>18792311
You tell me

>>18792307
>>18792314
Fuck off you EliteFag. Your hero Tony is killing the wrestling business. He killed New Japan and now he is bullying WWE out of North America. Fuckers like you who support a billionaire man-child with toy collector syndrome as he kills the wrestling business are evil as fuck. I hope you all fucking die.

>>18792248
Did you seriously think it was HHH?

>>18792341
>$400 for the shittiest seats in the house
what the fuck

>>18792341
oh...

>>18792056
interesting point. not surprising the local weinstein pigs want nothing to do with it.

>>18792341
Imagine buying those tickets and only going for the main event kek

>>18792276
Holy fucking delusional

Ticket prices are up because TKO is in billions of dollars of debt for purchasing WWE. Hence why advertising is plastered in every single inch of your TV screen when you watch a WWE product. TKO is milking fans and advertisers for as much money as possible to get out of debt.

From a business perspective it makes sense, push the ticket prices till your just nearly selling out every building but you'll never build goodwill with customers since they'll likely never go to your shows since you run less.
But hey if you think there's enough whales in the ocean go for it

>>18792416
Stop your delusional schizobabble. The stuff you gAyEW dumbfucks make up to justify all the evil shit Tony is doing is insane. I bet you even defend the rape of NJPW by Tony Khan. This is why I hate AEW with all my heart. If I had the dragon balls and I could make a single wish upon them, I would definitely wish for the death of AEW.

>>18792423
Yeah, and there's more than one reason we're not still burning whale oil.

>>18792423
WWE is my life. I already told my son that I would not be able to pay his high school fees because I'm saving up for Wrestlemania. I will sell my house if I have to but I'm not going to stop buying tickets to WWE PLEs. WWE is my life.
