WWE faces concerns about fan interactions and safety as costs for tickets and meet-and-greets climb following the TKO merger. WWE ticket prices and meet-and-greet costs have risen, drawing on-air criticism from CM Punk. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that WWE sources believe TKO-era pricing is exacerbating privacy issues for talent.During WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium, two-night passes started over $850 and premium seats reached tens of thousands. RAW and SmackDown tickets, once about $75, now often exceed $100 under a more premium approach. Wrestlers were surrounded in casino hotels during WrestleMania week as security struggled. At times, slower ticket sales prompted internal meetings and last-minute discounts. The balance between revenue and fan connection is now an internal focus.
