One fan used a chance run-in with WWE’s Nick Khan to tell him what many people are thinking — WWE ticket prices are really high.
The fan, posting on TikTok under the name alexanderrose_tv, was recording a live video at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. He noticed that WWE President Nick Khan was standing nearby and used the opportunity to approach him. After asking Khan if it was OK that he was recording, Rose mentioned that he was a huge WWE fan.
Khan asked what he thought of the Wyatt Sicks house at the park, then Rose said he was looking forward to WWE’s debut on ESPN. He also said he had to be honest, telling Khan that WWE’s prices are “a little crazy.”
“So they’re too cheap, you’re saying,” Khan jokingly said in response.
“No, a little too steep, at least for me,” Rose replied.
Khan appeared to say “I understand, yeah” before Rose finished by talking about how proud the late Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) would be of the Sicks exhibit.
Check out the video of the interaction below:

There are many factors as to why WWE ticket prices seem higher, especially in recent months, including dynamic pricing models. WWE has regularly touted record-breaking gates and attendance at many of its events. However, as fans and wrestling personalities have pointed out, those numbers definitely see a boost because of rising ticket costs.
Earlier this year, Randy Orton even shared his surprise about how expensive WrestleMania tickets have become. According to TikTok user @NGS_Creations, their lower bowl ticket at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium came out to $5,000. They also said a floor seat cost approximately $30,000 for both nights of WrestleMania 41 (or about $15,000 per night). When informed about the latter statistic, Orton held his hands to his chest in disbelief.
“It’s embarrassing, so much f***ing money for a seat,” he said.
WWE ticket prices probably aren’t dropping any time soon, as the demand continues to be there. However, at least fans like alexanderrose_tv are using their voices to highlight why it’s an issue for some of them, and did it in a respectful manner.
