WWE touts record-breaking attendance, revenue for WrestleMania 38

WWE is touting that this year’s two-night WrestleMania was the “highest-grossing and most-attended event” in company history.

WrestleMania 38 was WWE’s third consecutive two-night WrestleMania and the first without any COVID-19 restrictions. Over the two nights, WWE is claiming that 156,352 fans attended the event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. WrestleTix reports that 65,719 tickets were distributed for night one and 65,653 were distributed for night two.

“WWE’s annual pop-culture extravaganza saw 156,352 fans from all 50 states and 53 countries converge on AT&T Stadium in over the course of two exciting nights, surpassing the previous gate and attendance records set by WrestleMania 32 in 2016,” WWE wrote in a press release on Monday.

WrestleMania 32 was the first WrestleMania to be held at AT&T Stadium. It was a one-night show.

“On behalf of our family and the entire Dallas Cowboys organization, we are ecstatic to have once again shattered records with WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium,” said Dallas Cowboys chief brand officer Charlotte Jones. “I’ve experienced first-hand WWE’s commitment to both its fans and host cities alike. We are so grateful for their partnership and desire to always overdeliver.”

“We are thrilled that WrestleMania’s return to Dallas again generated record results, proving that everything is indeed bigger in Texas,” said WWE executive vice president of special events John Saboor. “We are grateful to the Jones Family and the entire Dallas Cowboys Organization, the Dallas Sports Commission, the city of Arlington, the city of Dallas and all the public and private sector partners who were instrumental in making WrestleMania 38 the most stupendous two-night WrestleMania in history. We now turn our attention to next year, where WrestleMania will take over Hollywood.”

WrestleMania 39 will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on Saturday, April 1, 2023 and Sunday, April 2, 2023.
