WWEs ticket prices have skyrocketed in 2025and one former star says the company is leaving working-class fans behind.
On TMZs Inside The Ring, Maven unloaded on the rising cost of being a wrestling fan today, taking specific aim at WWEs shift away from affordability since the TKO merger. The discussion came after new data revealed that average ticket prices for RAW and SmackDown have jumped from $75 to $118 since last year, with some WrestleMania 41 packages now going for $38,000 for two nights. When asked whether WWE was alienating loyal fans, Maven didnt hesitate.
He recalled how WWE used to be accessible for kids, families, and groups of friends who chipped in a few bucks just to afford a pay-per-view.
Maven shared a personal memory of his first WWE show, where his dad spent about $300 for the entire nightfor the whole family. Today, he says, that same amount wont even get you one decent seat.
According to earlier reports, WWEs ticket prices have increased by 60% year-over-year, far outpacing other major sports like the NBA. And while attendance numbers have slightly risen, many longtime fans feel the product is drifting out of reach.
