It’s great for WWE that fans are still buying tickets even though the prices are going up. Some fans are upset about how much it costs, but that hasn’t stopped WWE from being successful.
With this funding, the corporation can put on stunning shows for viewers, particularly during major events. Meanwhile, some talents are unhappy with a new policy about complimentary tickets.
The Stamford-based promotion has changed its ticket policy due to high demand and success. Now, talents can’t get free tickets but are given a special pre-sale link to share with their family and friends. Many wrestlers are unhappy with this new rule, feeling it’s less generous.
Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful reports that WWE has limited internal comp tickets due to high ticket prices. Many wrestlers are frustrated as they now receive pre-sale links instead of free tickets for family and friends.
Talent and staff have communicated to WWE their frustrations on no longer being able to get comp tickets for friends and family.

According to a performer who did not want to be named, tickets that had been accepted were quickly taken away, making them pay just days before an event. Another talent reported that due to insufficient communication, they learned about the changes in an odd manner.
While WWE defends the policy as necessary for their growing success, performers feel it strains personal relationships and fan connections.
Nick Khan and Triple H focus on refreshing WWE’s future
WWE President Nick Khan and Chief Content Officer Triple H are actively working on refreshing and revitalizing WWE’s future. In a recent interview on “Greg & The Morning Buzz,” Triple H emphasized the importance of evolving storytelling to feature more realistic and relatable characters.
“It’s a different way of telling the stories and being a bit more real, real to real life, to people having grudges and nobody’s perfect,” Triple H explained. “Our heroes are flawed. Our villains are sometimes good guys. They have real emotions. So it’s tweaking that. There’s a lot of things we want to do.”
He added, “Nick [Khan] and I, we sort of run the business together, we’re constantly looking at, how can we refresh this? How can we refresh how we’re looking at touring?”
