Wrestlemania for visitors from the UK
Hi all,
Long time semi-lurker and OO fan from the UK here.
A friend and I have decided to come to Miami for Wrestlemania next year from the UK.
Looks like we've missed out on the Wrestlemania Gold/Silver travel packages but as far as I can see the tickets for each individual part of that
haven't gone on sale yet anyway.
How easy is it to book these separately? I think I read WM tickets go on sale first week of November but can we still get a ticket to the Hall of
Fame and Fan Axxess? Maybe even tickets to the next night on Raw.
I've been to the USA once before so reckon I can sort myself out with flights and hotels but not even sure where to start or what ballpark
ticket prices would be based on last year even?
Any help is much appreciated!
Matt

Tickets can usually run anywhere from $50-$500 depending on how close you want to get. I will warn you that anything too nose-bleedy and you'll
find yourself watching jumbotrons most of the night.
Miami can also be a pretty pricey city, especially hotel-wise. I'd recommend getting in on reservations there ASAP to try and get a decent
rate.
Also, if anyone says, "We're heading down to Calle Ocho (8th Street in the Latino district)," don't follow them unless you're
carrying at least one knife and one gun and no cash.

I don't know how much the gold and silver packages cost, but if you are buying tickets 6 months in advance you should have no problems good
seats for a good price. When I went to WM 25 in Houston, I bought my tickets for $ 143 for decent seats, but if I had bought them sooner I might have
got a better deal or it would have been the same I dunno. (Offcourse you know, sometimes the closer you get to the event the prices may actually drop
if they are not filling up the area, but I don't think its gonna happen with an event like WM , plus I dont suppose you wanna wait til the last
minute since you are flying from UK)
You can get really good hotel deals on priceline or expedia. My suggestion is to look for a hotel in suburbs of Miami and rent a car and drive down to
the downtown area whenever you are ready. Saves a lot of cost. But offcourse I assume that you have driven in the States last time you were here.
(Trust me, I came here in the States from India, and driving on the opposite side did not bother me one bit)
But I digress. All I am trying to say is that WM tickets themselves shouldn't be a worry.But I must correct Dominator, the tickets can go from
$50 to $3000. Just check out the seating chart and get the best deal. And go on groupon.com to get awesome coupons for car and hotel rentals in Miami.

I didn't go any higher than $500 on the ticket prices because I'm assuming that combined with the travel costs from the UK, and with the
global economy imploding, Matty had enough sense not to spend so much on tickets to a wrestling show. And if he does, then may I still
suggest getting the $500 seats and spending the extra $2500 on getting a week's worth of the full GFE. South Florida has some of the
world's finest.

Cheers guys. The Gold and Silver packages are sold out now so I'm going to have to wait until the tickets go on sale.
Presumably it's just a Ticketmaster job once they become available or is there some sort of presale I can use maybe? Budget is probably around
$200 in your money so I guess that would get me a decent seat?
Then I can add on Hall of Fame and Raw at a later date as they go on sale?
Not a problem with driving if that would be cheaper than staying central and using public transport. I passed through Miami last year on a drive
round Florida and stayed in Coral Gables which was fine.
I think I'm going to buy the WM tickets before I do anything else - I want to make sure i can get in before I book hotels and flights!

We already booked our hotel room and when the travel package prices came out those were a bit steep. So we are also waiting on the single tickets and
hopefully will get them for all the stuff.
