Update on WWE Comp Ticket Situation (Patreon)

Rikishi mentioned on his podcast recently that he can’t even get comp tickets to events anymore, which saw a number of WWE wrestlers echo the sentiment.
Fightful had reported on the WWE comp ticket situation over the last couple of years, and the frustration from talent around it. There’s a way more strict limit on the tickets, with talent having the opportunity to buy tickets in a preferential fashion.
WWE’s stance is that with their tickets in higher demand, they’ve made the decision to scale back on the allowed comps. This is not a new policy and has been in effect for over a year.
At least one top WWE star had encouraged a number of WWE talent to work it into their contract if they were complaining about it. We’re told that several WWE talent have worked them into their deals now, and many expect it to be a standard request.
