WWE hikes ticket prices for the Raw show at Madison Square Garden

WWE Raw will celebrate its episode prior to Survivor Series on November 17th at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. It will also be the last appearance of John Cena on the red brand before his retirement as a professional wrestler, which will make this episode even more special. So much so, that it has been reflected in ticket prices.

Indeed, in the last few hours, WWE has opened ticket presales for the show, with a "Ringsider Package" that will cost a whopping $2,368.25. This VIP experience includes a limited edition chair, autographs from WWE superstars, and exclusive merchandise. However, this price does not include Ticketmaster fees, which will increase the total cost.

Of course, there are other more "affordable" options to witness the spectacle as close to the ring as possible. Thus, we have Platinum seats ($1,107) and the remaining ringside seats ($815.25). Those looking to save a bit more money can always book Back Floor seats, priced at $388.30.

As for the rest of the seats, they are divided into four zones. Level 100 seats cost $372.20, Level 200 seats are priced at $276.25, and Level 400 seats cost $193.25. Level 300 seats are not available in the presale.

The last WWE Raw show held at Madison Square Garden took place on March 10, 2025, and drew a total attendance of 18,088 people, selling out and generating over $2 million in revenue from ticket sales alone.

On the other hand, this high pricing policy has been heavily criticized by a sector of fans, who believe that WWE shows, especially PPVs, are increasingly targeting a wealthier audience, leaving aside fans with limited economic resources. However, as long as the formula works and continues to generate significant profits, WWE will continue to stand by this pricing policy despite the criticisms.
