    Hey guys, first time poster here! I've decided I want to head to WrestleMania 29 (first WrestleMania). Just thought I'd drop some questions here I might be able to get answered...

    Based on the price increase in recent years, the Gold package for WM29 in the UK looks like it'll be, for 4 people, £968 per person and the Silver package could be about £675 per person. As you can see, there's quite a difference there. Can someone maybe post some pictures of Gold and Silver or shed some light on if the Gold package, especially for WrestleMania seating is worth the extra cost? I'm torn!

    And secondly, living in the UK, do I have to pay the customs charges for the package when it gets delivered over here and how much could it possibly cost based on those two prices? Because the packages are expensive enough for university students!

    Holla!

    I didn't have to pay any custom charges this year in the UK.

    Does anyone have any tips on buying wrestlemania tickets separately from ticketmaster?

    Real simple really. Just be ready the first sec that tix are available thru the presale. Cause trust there are tons of ppl who refresh that ticketmaster page every 5 secs

    Any idea on how you get the pre sale password?

    Me and a friend went Silver to Miami and I'd go for it every time over Gold packages...cost us £675 each for the 4 nights.

    Bear in mind, Gold package tickets will be in the risers, which realistically, arent all that high compared to the floor/stadium seats... they have to fit in tiered risers that go from the pitch level, to the first stadium row (not all that big a gap really).

    If you go Gold, if you get 1st row, you'll more or less be at pitch level, behind the first 15(i think it is) rows, meaning you may not see all that much... and depending on your height/signs in front/obstructions(palm trees) etc, you still may not have a very good view.

    Silver is the stadium seating meaning there is more of a tiered structure with more height going on, we were 5 or 6 rows back in the tiered stadium seats and had a great view, met up with fans who had VIP/Platinum and Gold, and the Gold ones showed me their photos from their seats, and whilst some looked alright, others I wouldve hated to have paid for... especially, as you say, an extra £300ish

    We had a fantastic view from Block 114 of everything at Mania, and if PayPal didnt mess up on the day of package buying, i'd have had ringside for RAW aswell, but instead was in the block right by the stage, managed to get on TV a fair amount of times.

    There are no customs charges to pay when the package arrives, as already said before.

    Theres no concrete, but id be willing to pencil in RAW and HOF at Madison Square Garden, especially seeing as 30 wont be there, they'll have to use MSG for a Mania weekend in NYC/NJ

    If you are on the WWE's email list then they will send u the presale password before the presale starts. If not its easy to do. Just email Wrestlemania.packages@wwecorp.com and request to be added to mailing list

    I would even go as far as to suggest they have Raw and SD at MSG. Pretty sure New Yorkers were chomping at the bit for WM30 at MSG but let's face it. Bigger venue means bigger revenue. So as a way to make it up to them SD should be thrown in the travel packages as an option this year with SD n Raw being held @ MSG. I'd buy it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 69 ✭✭A.B. Dangerously


    After a fantastic experience at Wrestlemania in Miami, me and my friend are definitely hoping to go to NY/NJ next year. Thanks so much to everyone who helped me with getting my package for this year, and I hope that I can help the newbies this year. It's an experience I highly recommend.

    I've done a post on my A.B. Dangerously blog about my experience with a few pictures. Hope you guys enjoy the read, and let's all begin our Road to Wrestlemania 29 together!

    Will they give me the pre sale password for ticketmaster when they go on sale in probably november


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 Rocky182


    Thank you very much Swift and Hendo. :) With those questions out the way, now I just wait till Mania 29. =P

    I can't wait (already) to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭Gambino Capo

    That question I would have to defer to the guys who do everything separately. I wanna say yes but I wouldn't be 100% sure because I get a package every year and I know for a fact that they give you the presale password for the packages.

    weather in NYC sucks right now one day it is very nice then hella cold,it's hard to say what the weather will be like but personally living in nyc since i was 2 id say it would be cold around april so wear a jacket to the show lol.

    good base would be manhattan,here is why,msg,hammerstein,grand ballroom,and bb kings all are located there,roh/dg usa will do shows there,i am sure raw might be there,if not and they do hold raw in nj then you can go to 42nd street which is walking distance and get to the nj venues in mins,not to mention public transport to the metlife from 42nd street is only mins away,and i am sure for mania they will do shuttle buses for the event since it's huge,train/shuttle you can't lose.

    second best bet would stay in queens if manhattan is expensive,either way getting around nyc isn't hard and hella cheap compared to other cities

    edit:for got dgusa.chikira,czw is doing there shows across from the izod so yea

    i like jersey city/newport, lots of decent hotels there for around same price as box rooms in manhattan (w, westin, hyatt, doubletree), path train has you in midtown in minutes for $1.75, hoboken has decent nightlife/places to eat, if you are on a budget journal square is probably cheapest place in all of metro nyc to stay and eat, great diner there


  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭Hendo9


    We've decided if we do go, we may split a condo/apartment between a group of us and stay there rather than the package, would probably work out cheaper


  • Registered Users Posts: 136 ✭✭Barcelonafan


    Any tips on doing it separately anybody?


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Broooce


    Booked WM28 separately it was the first time we have been, really easy and worked out around a third cheaper.

    Keep an eye on here for on sale dates and pre sale passwords, I would say that the hotels that are included in the packages are good and you won't get anywhere near those rates if you book yourself, in Miami we stayed a few miles away because we had a rental, any questions PM me

    Hi all, long time reader, first time poster. Just have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering. By the way, I am from Canada, so maybe go easy on me here ;D

    Can finally afford to go to Mania next year since I've saved up for a year now. First Mania next year will be!

    1) Which package is usually better when it comes to WrestleMania seating, the Gold or the Silver one? I'm looking to get the 4-day in both cases, but I've heard mixed reviews for the Gold one as you might get a restricted view, but with Silver, yes you'll be far away but you will get a good rising seats look at the ring. Can anyone clarify that for me please, preferably a person whose had experience with one of them?

    2) How fast do travel packages usually sell out? Know they go on sale mid-July or so, but don't turn 18th until the 31st of July, and I wont be able to make a pay-pal account until then. Anyone know if they will have some Gold/Silver 4-day packages available by the beginning of August?

    3) How is the entire experience? Like how are the hotels for Gold/Silver people, how's Axxess etc. Also, are the hotels near the stadiums?

    4) How much spending money should you be looking to take there? I won't be drinking at all, nor will I be doing some extra activities out of Mania weekend. I will strictly be buying WWE Merch, and meals for myself as well as occasional snacks. Of course, there will be the transportation costs between the aiport and the hotel and also the stadiums.

    Long questions I know, but it would be MUCH appreciated (and repped) if someone could answer? :D

    1. After being on this board for 2 years now. I think the clear cut preference would be Platinum (Or newly added VIP), Silver, then Gold. Me Personally, I've been to 4 Manias via the Silver package and had a great view each time. I'm not gonna flat out say "dont go gold" because I cant speak from experience. Just ppl over the years have said they'd take Silver over Gold.

    2. WM27 had packages last a fair amount of time. I believe (correct if wrong) a month or two they lasted. WM28 sold in a matter of days. With Brock, The Rock, & Austin rumored to be involved I imagine it may do the same. Main traveler MUST be 18 at time of purchase so if u dont want to gamble, have someone else buy it at first then change main traveler when u are of age.

    3. They say Disney World is the happiest place on earth... Not Wrestlemania weekend. Each city has something different to offer. Everybody no matter what package they buy stays in 4/5 star hotels. Proximity changes with each city. PHX things were spread. ATL things were close. MIA, the stadium was the only place a fair distance away. Axxess is always cool. Meeting different superstars and what not.

    4. Spending money all depends on your plans. WWE merchandise can build quite the tab quicly. A jersey, shirt, program (just basics) would run you $120 if jersey was custom. Transportation to, around, and from NJ/NY is all on you. New this year to the packages was round-trip bus service to and from the stadium so hopefully that'll return.

    I'm sure if i missed anything someone here will fill in the blanks. Other than that, welcome and hope everything works out for you.

    Thank you very much sir! New to this forum, so I don't quite know how rep people here. Which button do I press, or do I have to reach a certain number of posts first? I'm guessing it's the latter, but when I do, I will most certainly thank or rep you :D

    Yes, I will definitely go Silver now. It's my first year going, so I'm going to stay on the safe side and get the cheaper one just to test it out. Definitely plan to be doing this every year if god-willing, I have a stable income source in the future. I'm going alone this year too, so Gold will become a bit more pricey for me, and the more spending money I have, the better. I think I can do without the 5-Star hotel, the meet and greet with the higher ranked superstars, and the steel chair collectible.

    I would hope they release more travel packages this year seeing as the Stadium can accommodate 5000-6000 more people then last year. New Meadowlands Stadium is HUGE, but it remains to be seen if WWE capitalizes on that with releasing more travel packages. But just to be on the safe side, I'll have my father pay for it as soon as they are released, and then pay him back from my account. Just to be on the safe side. Can also start planning my trip than, and start booking my flights and what-not :)

    I don't think the WrestleMania weekend will be a problem next year. A couple of mates went to 25 on a silver package, and as horrid as that Mania itself was, they thought that the weekend, Axxess, and even being in the stadium with 70,000 people was worth the price, and to this day, say it was the greatest weekend they ever had despite going on several vacation after that.

    Yep, don't plan to do any drinking (not allowed) or sight seeing in Manhattan or anything like that. Only costs will be WWE merch, meals, and transportation. I've got transportation covered already to the hotel and back to the airport. Found a shuttle that'll run me $16 each way, so that shouldn't be a problem anymore. Just hoping that the convention centers, the stadium, and the arena will be walking distance, and if not, that WWE will provide transportation to them. Wouldn't mind paying for that in the package instead of the taking the NYC subway seeing as I'm deathly afraid of rats. And I've heard some horror stories of NYC rats there. Oh yes, the amount of merchandise I plan to buy will definitely add up. Planning to buy lots of memorabilia for my first WrestleMania.

    Thanks again Mate! Your answers were much appreciated. Are you planning on going next year as well?

    To thank someone click the thumbs up pic/icon in the lower right hand corner of the post of the person u want to thank.

    Am I going next year? Most definitely! I went to 23 skipped 24 and 25 cause of low funds and have been to everyone since then and don't plan on stopping.

    I don't see that icon in the lower right hand corner, so I'm assuming I have to reach 10 or so posts to do so. Just remind me when I do, and I'll definitely rep/thank you! Thanks for the help mate.

    Looking forward to seeing you there! Assuming your going on a travel package?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭Gambino Capo


    Only way to go in my opinion. #TeamSilver :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 psx71


    I was thinking to book everything separately but then realized that it's way to much of a hassle. Especially if Mania's in the New York area, the transportation and everything will be too much to handle for me. First time I'm going so I wanted to go with everything taken care of in one package. Will go for Silver! :)

    Honestly can't wait till July right now. Too excited.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭montyrebel


    Not sure how true this is but I heard from a few people who had been at this years mania in the hotel that wrestlers were staying at on friday before the belfast show.
    that some people who had the vip package, think they were meant to get breakfast with cena, but all they got was a signed picture, handed out by someone, and no sign off cena anywhere.

    anyone know if there is any truth in this, be a bit bad to get vip for this breakfast, especially if you have kids etc who would e the big cena fans and then get passed off like that

    I think they were meant to have a vip entrance to the stadium and be greeted by a superstar and diva which never materialised. some people were complaining on the travel packages fb page and apparently their complaints were being deleted.

    I had the silver package and the only complaint was that we were in the first row which was level with the last row of the risers so we had to stretch to see past the row in front.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭Gambino Capo


    Winners for the WM29 Sweepstakes will be announced tonight. Its only a 2-night trip though. Would be nice if you could some how upgrade it to a package. A package with airfare included would be sweet. Even though I'm in driving distance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 psx71


    Looks like transport at New York and New Jersey will be more of a problem then I thought. Would someone mind giving me tips on how they got around the city and to the stadiums and convention centers for the first timer here?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭Gambino Capo


    I usually rent a car. I will again this year too. Driving in NY is takes alot of patience. NY is very busy w/ cars and pedestrians alike. Most likely the subway and little walking will do the trick as far getting around. If the bus service is included again then your transportation to and from Mania is taken care of.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 psx71


    Was thinking of renting a car but the thought of traffic scared me off.

    Also, did the transportation this year cover to the convention center and Monday Night Raw and back to the hotel or no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭Gambino Capo


    Nah just Mania.


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Broooce


    When are they likely to announce venues for Raw and Axxess what was the timeline last year?


  • Registered Users Posts: 109 ✭✭LiamBro


    Miami drained my wallet this year, spent a whole lot more than what i was expecting but no doubt i'm going to WM29! I've caught the Mania bug.

    I went for the silver package for WM28 and i couldn't off been any more happier with my Mania seat, if i do a package again i'll be doing Silver again. More than likely be buying everything individually this year though to save on hotels etc.

    to be honest it's a no brainer where raw and hall of fame even axess might be,staying in queens,brooklyn,manhattan,you should have no issues getting to any venue for mania

    public transport in NYC won't be a issue who ever told you this obviously don't live in NYC,i live in NYC QUEENS and getting to manhattan is fairly easy,now getting to the izod center you have 2 choices,THE TRAIN and the bus,tho for mania i won't be surprised if they have shuttles at port authority for mania like they had for past events,personally i suggest taking public transport to mania more specifically the train,it's very fast and convenient and cheap and runs around the clock constantly unlike other cities that has hosted mania,and you avoid the traffic going into the tunnel from manhattan to NJ which is a pain in the behind on any given day and id assume mania would be worst.

    you have several choices in NYC FOR TRANSPORT

    LONG ISLAND RAILROAD WHICH RUNS ALL DAY

    SUBWAYS RUNS ALL DAY

    TAXI ALL DAY

    BUS ALL DAY

    THE OTHER TRAIN STATIONS THAT RUN FROM MANHATTAN TO NJ WHICH RUNS ALL DAY AS WELL I BELIEVE

    personally renting a car just for mania is a waste esp if your staying in manhattan where everything is.

    heh same here,try two grand for me all on partying etc over on south beach


  • Registered Users Posts: 686 ✭✭✭Rud3Bwoy


    btw long island rail road prices-always pick off peak on the menu should run you 6 bucks one way

    subways/train mta is 2.50 one way tho you can buy a weekly metro card which would save you more.


    buses and train to izod should run around 6-10 bucks each way

    AND ONCE AGAIN PLEASE NOTE GETTING TO THE IZOD CENTER IS VERY EASY YOU JUST GO TO 42ND STREET PORT AUTHORITY AND GO FROM THERE,NYC transport is very easy,tho i suggest everyone stays in queens or manahttan close to a train/subway etc for even easier transport.

    Last time I went to NYC I stayed at the Millennium Broadway right on Times Square... think that'll be a bit pricey to add into a Mania trip haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭Gambino Capo


    Last time I was up was around Valentines Day. Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Brooklyn. Needless to say I'll be in a better hotel when i book my package later this summer.

  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Mr. Slam


    I was keen on going this year but couldn't due to a trip last year but I'm certainly looking towards making the trek to 29 from Australia however, it really comes down to my tax return. Should have enough for a solid package.

    Only issue then is flights and a week or so in NYC. There is no way im flying from the other side of the world to spend 4 days, mostly at wrestling events. Want to explore NYC :D

    Does anyone else think (given that they are calling it WrestleMania NY|NJ, that they will be doing HoF, Axxess and RAW in New York and just Wrestlemania in New Jersey and therefore will put all the package people in hotels in New York, and do what they did this year and bus us all down to the Stadium for Mania.

    Really looking forward to this one. Me and my mate loved South Beach so much that we were thinking of going there for a few days before heading to New York/New Jersey for Mania, but tbh, I'd rather stay in NY than NJ as there is probably more going on.

    I'd say HOF, AXXESS and RAW will be in New York alright. It seems to have better options for venue and transport for a large amount of fans. The bus up and back from the package hotel was a great help. My friend got a taxi back and it cost him loads.

    There are loads of shuttles that take you for cheap around the city and back if you don't want to bus and take the subway. I recommend one of those if you don't have transportation.

    Hi guys, new member so apologies if I ramble on.
    A group of us went to Miami for WM28, loved it so much we're thinking of doing 29 too.
    I booked everything separately last time as I was too late to get in for the packages, it probably worked out cheaper but I was thinking a package would make it easier.
    One of the reasons I’d want to do a package is with it being near the NY area, I can't imagine getting good seats (or any seats if I'm not quick enough) for Raw/HOF would be easy. So guaranteeing them without having the pressure of the pre/general sales would be ideal. I’d hate to miss out on those, especially if they are at MSG.
    For WM itself, we got section 115 last time & it was a good view, so a silver package would get that sort of section, if you get in early enough is a more centred view like that likely? I’d hate to be in the 100s on a diagonal view especially after seeing those palm trees in Miami.
    It’s looking like there will be more of us going this time, 6 or more. So obviously with the packages being maximum 4 people we’d need to split up, is it possible to arrange 2 packages to be located near each other or is that guaranteed to be in the same hotel anyways?
    Another main thing is the hotel dates, being there for 4 nights would be too short I think. Booking a separate hotel then switching to the package hotel might be a bit of a fuss, so more dates in the package hotel would be ideal.
    I read 28’s info thread (which was a great help for me last year, thanks) that you are asked if you need more dates, has anyone had any issues with how many extra days you can get or is it just ask & if there is availability it’s fine?

    Hey Gary and welcome.

    I went just to 28, with a Silver package and cant recommend them any higher... we were in section 114 so right by where you were so im sure you know how good the seats were and what a great view we got... at RAW I was right next to the stage because of a PayPal error, otherwise id likely have been ringside as I went straight in for the package as soon as pre-sale hit but PayPal messed right up for me.

    I do think that Silver package holders get the same blocks at each Mania, those directly opposite the camera in the first tier of stadium seats.

    Im sure you can also arrange for 2 packages to be booked through together, im not sure how but the emails they send out will explain/someone else on here will know more.

    As for 4 nights... ive been to New York a few times and only done 4-5 nights, all depends how much you want to fit in I suppose.. but you can see if the package hotel has availability... for 28, we went over the Tuesday before... but didnt go straight to the package hotel (thankfully) and stayed on South Beach for 3 nights first cheaply and was great..
