Believe it or not, WrestleMania 34 is just around the corner — April 8, 2018, at New Orleans’ Silverdome Superdome, to be precise. WWE has 65,000 or so tickets they have to figure out creative ways of selling, and that’s just for Mania itself — they’ll be running live broadcasts for five straight days in the Big Easy, from NXT TakeOver to the WWE Hall Of Fame the two nights before Mania to Raw and Smackdown Live the two nights afterward.
In the past, WWE has created travel packages for the most diehard WWE fans (and/or those with money to burn) which include primo tickets to multiple WWE shows, certain VIP-only events such as breakfast with Superstars and more. But for Mania 34, WWE has outdone themselves.
This time around, they’ve made a One-In-A-Lifetime Package available that caps at a maximum of two people and includes, among other things:
- ringside seats to WrestleMania 34 and NXT TakeOver: New Orleans
- VIP receptions with select Superstars before WrestleMania and TakeOver
- a collectible chair from WrestleMania 34
- a two-night stay in a New Orleans hotel
Oh, right: It also includes flying to and from New Orleans on WWE’s own private jet alongside some WWE Legends, who promise to give you their “undivided attention” (that’s directly from WWE’s ad copy, y’all). This insane experience can be yours for only $9,175 if you want to do it by yourself, or if you go in on it with a friend, it’s a mere $8,525 each. (Heads up: The flight is roundtrip from New York City to New Orleans, so you’ll probably need to be in the Tri-State area to take full advantage of this.)
So, yeah: That’s a sh*tload of money. Does anyone know if Brock Lesnar Guy or Frank The Clown has started a Gofundme yet? But if nine grand is too rich for your blood (and let’s be honest, you’re reading a wrestling site that doesn’t have a paywall, you know it is), WWE has a slew of other WrestleMania 34 travel packages available that start at a comparatively meager $1,150. But just remember, if you want to sit next to, like, Pat Patterson and Terry Taylor for two hours, time to shine that Amex up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it right up WWE’s processing server.
