The WWE Universe was riled up in a major way today after ticket prices were revealed for an upcoming event. The Endeavor Era appears to be a massive success for the company so far, with the improved WWE product in high demand. Many fans were shocked to see the cost of an upcoming special event, while others seem to chalk the high prices up to business as usual.

WWE fans responded to the initial WrestleMania After Dark announcement with optimism, but the ticket prices are another story. After today's pre-sale began, the listed prices immediately took over the discussion. While many fans are calling WWE out over the high prices, just as many seem to be declaring the value or pointing to how the costs are fitting as WrestleMania is a week-long extravaganza. The official Las Vegas account on X also chimed in.
