News regarding ticket sales for the 2023 WWE Summerslam PLE

Tickets for the 2023 WWE Summerslam PLE went on sale last week. According to the Sports Business Journal, WWE sold 32,000+ tickets for Summerslam and it was the largest day-one sale for any stadium event outside of Wrestlemania in company history. During the April 14th 2023 edition of WWE Smackdown, Michael Cole said the following regarding ticket sales…

“We made history today. This is the 36th annual Summerslam and never before have we sold as many tickets in one day for this event as we sold today for Detroit.”

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that Summerslam had the largest first day of ticket sales in the United States for a non-Wrestlemania stadium event but it is actually the third largest on a worldwide level…

“It’s actually the third biggest first-day sales… is kind of a weird term now because the first day of sales is actually the third day of sales. But after the quote ‘first day of sales,’ it was the biggest for any non-WrestleMania WWE show with the exception of Clash at the Castle and Wembley Stadium. So, actually two shows in the UK. So, it’s a great number.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
