WWE announced the official WrestleMania 35 gate and attendance figures in a press release. The event brought 82,265 fans together in a sold-out event and brought in $16.9 million for the gate. This beat the previous record at MetLife Stadium of $12.3 million for WrestleMania 29.
“WWE outdid themselves by creating an even more exciting WrestleMania than we experienced six years ago,” said New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. “The WWE Universe helped deliver significant economic results to New Jersey, and we look forward to the opportunity of hosting WrestleMania again in the future.”
WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events John Saboor also chimed in. “We are thrilled that WrestleMania’s return to WWE’s ‘front yard’ delivered incredible results,” said Saboor. “This would not have been possible without the tireless support of Governor Murphy and our public and private sector partners throughout the New York and New Jersey region. We now turn our attention to next year, where WrestleMania will make a historic Tampa Bay debut.”
