News Summary
WrestleMania 42 is set to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, following the success of last year’s event. The move was confirmed by TKO Group Holdings after record attendance at WrestleMania 41. Ticket prices will feature a dynamic pricing strategy, with exclusive packages available for fans. This marks a rare occurrence of hosting WrestleMania in the same city for consecutive years, adding to Las Vegas’s reputation as a premier entertainment destination.
Las Vegas to Host WrestleMania 42 in 2026
WrestleMania 42 will take place on April 18 and 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, marking the second consecutive year the event is held in the city. Last year’s event achieved remarkable success, drawing in record-breaking attendance and setting the stage for the upcoming WrestleMania.
The decision to move WrestleMania 42 to Las Vegas comes from TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE, following the successful WrestleMania 41, which attracted an impressive 124,693 fans across two nights in April 2025. This figure makes WrestleMania 41 the highest-grossing event in WWE history. Initially, WrestleMania 42 was scheduled to occur at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on April 11-12, 2026, but plans changed to bring the event back to Las Vegas.
Changes in Event Planning
After the announcement, New Orleans will instead host WWE’s Money in the Bank event in 2026. The shift in the WrestleMania location was made public through joint communication between TKO and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation. Walt Leger, head of New Orleans & Co., acknowledged WWE’s intentions to potentially host WrestleMania in New Orleans in the future.
Dynamic Pricing Strategy
In preparation for WrestleMania 42, TKO Group’s CEO Mark Shapiro outlined a new pricing strategy aimed at maximizing revenue from live events. Ticket prices will range from $854 for upper-level seating to nearly $9,000 for ringside floor seats. Additionally, suite prices will start at $22,000 and go as high as $52,500 for an Owner’s Suite package. The pricing strategy includes a dynamic pricing model based on demand, which allows for holding back tickets for later sale at elevated prices.
Exclusive Packages Offered
For fans looking for an enhanced experience, Priority Pass packages will be available, which feature reserved seating along with exclusive perks that include meet-and-greets with WWE Superstars and unique photo opportunities.
A Rare Occasion for WrestleMania
The Miz, a well-known WWE Superstar, highlighted that hosting WrestleMania in the same city for two consecutive years is a rarity. The last time this occurred was for WrestleMania IV and V in Atlantic City.
Background on WrestleMania
WrestleMania has been a cornerstone event for WWE since its inception, often regarded as the Super Bowl of professional wrestling. The event usually attracts large crowds and generates significant revenue through ticket sales, merchandise, and pay-per-view purchases. The move to Las Vegas reinforces the appeal of the location as a top destination for both entertainment and major sporting events, incorporating a vibrant atmosphere for fans and participants.
As the date approaches, excitement continues to build around WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, promising another thrilling chapter in WWE’s legacy and an opportunity for fans to experience the excitement of live wrestling once again in a spectacular setting.
