Overview
- On the Nov. 5 TKO earnings call, Nick Khan said WWE raised ticket prices across PLEs, Raw, SmackDown and Saturday Night’s Main Event in line with the marketplace.
- WWE reported a $31.4 million year-over-year increase in live-events and hospitality revenue for the quarter, contributing to $402.1 million in total revenue.
- Khan credited both sustained high venue capacity and higher average ticket prices for the live-event revenue gains.

- Khan highlighted a January European tour leading into the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia and noted strong ticket sales as fan criticism of higher prices continues.
