In the lead-up to the much-anticipated WrestleMania 40 event, slated for Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7, at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, ticket seekers are eagerly exploring their options to attend. The regular tickets go on sale scheduled from 10 a.m. ET on Friday, August 18. While presales of tickets have already begun, the rumored $10,000 per day tickets for WrestleMania 40 brought much trepidation among fans hoping to catch the spectacle live. But now there is clarity emerging on the astonishing ticket prices of 10 grand.
WrestleMania tickets for 10 grand?
After rumors of $10,000 WrestleMania 40 tickets began doing rounds on social media, fans were left perplexed. Reputed wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp went on Twitter to debunk this rumor himself. Sapp said that he got a confirmation from WWE itself, thus, putting these rumors to rest.

Despite what has been reported this week, there are no $10,000 per day tickets to WrestleMania, I've confirmed with WWE. The highest priced tier is $5,000 for direct, as it was in Los Angeles. The lowest price point is $25, same as Los Angeles for the first-run sales of both. pic.twitter.com/ICDXVL0Czt

The pricing structure for tickets is the same as last year. The highest tier of tickets is set at $5,000, mirroring the precedent set in Los Angeles. Also, the entry-level pricing stands at a modest $25, the same as that of the initial pricing in Los Angeles during the first round of ticket sales for WrestleMania 39/

Still, the rumor of a 10 grand per day WrestleMania ticket has led to a lot of buzz on social media, with fans trying to understand the pricing structure.
Fans react to WrestleMania 40 pricing rumors
Most of the fans are reporting the notorious 10K pricing for the WrestleMania 40 tickets. However, these presale tickets are available on third-party websites. These websites have provided their pricing charts.
Some fans speculate that the 10K pricing is for the two-day event combined, while some speculate it is Platinum ticket pricing by the third-party vendors.
2 day combo tickets are going for that but again, 2 days, 2 tickets same seats both nights

Platinum tickets aren't directly priced by WWE which is likely why there were $8,500 & $9,000 on the price map today (and still are in some cases).

Another possibility that was highlighted was that fans might have confused the $10K COMBO pricing for a single event. This was even confirmed by Sapp himself.
Is it possible the $10,000 tickets were just the COMBO ones and people got confused? pic.twitter.com/HKpYrlbJQt
