I think I would suck it up and pay $2,000-$3000 for both shows because I'm good with only going to one WrestleMania but if it ended up being double that it would be tough to justify.
I miss the days when I paid $500 to go to SummerSlam in Toronto and sat in row 6 I think beside the ramp. It's 5k to do that for Survivor Series.

It's worth it to pay a bit more for better seats, but try to pay face value and not the "Platnium Seats" offers if you can.
I sat in 103 for WM 40 Saturday and paid $350 USD which was much cheaper than those seats had been a week earlier when they were still listed as "Platnium Seats"
For WM 40 Sunday I sat in C1 and paid $550 USD which was more than I wanted to pay but the person next to me had paid $800 USD when they were still Platnium Seats. It was $350 for seats in 239 in like the last row which would be a complete rip off IMO because you can't see much at all.
For me at the time it was worth it because I was guaranteed to see The Rock at WM (and rumors at the time were that there was a good chance Austin would show up), so it was a bucket list thing for me.
Honestly better off saving up another year for better seats and watching at home than you are paying that type of premium for the further away seats in a stadium.

What's needed is for fans to refuse to pay that but it won't happen because people want to go so badly.

I don't blame these companies, they saw what people were willing to pay scalpers who could do variable pricing and went "we might as well get some of that revenue"
And I do think things like the flex pricing for "Platnium Seats" has helped discourage scalpers for some events compared to just doing a flat pricings structure but in the end it still sucks because it just means prices a a whole go up still.
It would be nice if North America would follow many European countries leads and ban these type of practices. There was all this talk about how Taylor Swift tickets were so much cheaper in Europe and it was because they actually have better ticket practices to prevent re-selling above face value and re-sale.

Based on your wrestling tastes I am shocked you'd pay that to see Hogan / Andre...I figured you'd hate the Hogan and Andre style of wrestling.
