Finally…WrestleMania is coming back to Philadelphia.
WWE is bringing its annual, two-day wrestling bonanza to Lincoln Financial Field for its 40th edition next year.
But tickets won’t be cheap. What to know about WrestleMania 40 and how to get tickets.
WrestleMania 40 potential lineup, ticket prices
WrestleMania 40 will be held at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, April 7 and Sunday, April 8.
WWE officials have been tight-lipped so far about the lineup, but wrestling fans can expect matches featuring current champions such as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin'” Rollins, WWE Women’s Champion Iyo Sky and WWE Woman’s World Champion Rhea Ripley.
WWE tag team title holders will surely be in the WrestleMania 40 mix as well.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are the current Smackdown Tag Team Champions, while Chelsea Green and Piper Niven are the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
When do Wrestlemania 40 tickets go on sale?
Tickets to WrestleMania 40 are nearly sold out and only a select few seats are still available.
The WWE is offering fans the option of either purchasing two-day or single-day passes to WrestleMania 40.
According to Ticketmaster, WWE’s official ticketing agency for WrestleMania 40, the cheapest available single two-day pass is $3,000, with the most expensive two-day pass comes in at $10,000.
The $10,000 seats are located nearest to the ring.
Fans who don’t mind binoculars or sitting in the rafters of Lincoln Financial Field can find relatively inexpensive single-day WrestleMania 40 tickets however. The lowest price for a single-day ticket to WrestleMania 40 is $300, but Ticketmaster cautions those tickets are selling out fast.
WrestleMania 40 first in Philadelphia since WrestleMania XV
WWE is bringing its marquee event back to Philadelphia for the first time since WrestleMania XV, when the company was known as the World Wrestling Federation — WWF.
WrestleMania XV was held on March 28, 1999, at Wells Fargo Center, which was named the First Union Center at the time.

“Philadelphia is excited to host WrestleMania for the first time in 25 years,” said Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO Gregg Caren. “The combination of Philadelphia’s passionate fans joining forces with WWE’s worldwide fan base will create an incredible electricity throughout the city for the events at Lincoln Financial Field, Wells Fargo Center and the Pennsylvania Convention Center.”
