During Friday’s WWE SmackDown, Michael Cole announced that the company set a new first-day ticket sales record with Royal Rumble tickets, which went on sale earlier that day at 9 a.m. ET.
According to an update via Fightful Select, the 2023 Royal Rumble is on track to break the gross revenue and ticket sales records set by the 2017 Rumble, which was held at the same venue in San Antonio, Texas.
WWE reportedly sold more than 25,000 tickets for The Rumble in January, setting a new record for the event in terms of paid tickets and gross revenue for the event’s first on-sale weekend.
The entire venue has yet to open, but sources say that more areas of the arena will likely become available in the near future.
The 2023 WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is set for Saturday, January 28 from The Alamodome in San Antonio, TX, and will mark The Alamodome’s 30th anniversary.
