$1750 for fourth last row in the upper deck is ridiculous. Unsurprising but ridiculous. They are taking the UFC approach to pricing. Keep going higher until people stop buying and if they keep buying then go even higher. In 2016 I attended a UFC event and had tickets in the upper deck first couple rows of what would be behind the net if it were a hockey game. The cost was ~$100. For a UFC event in the same building seven years later it was ~$450-500 although the more I think about it the more I think it was 500ish.

For WWE and any other ticketed event sometimes (seemingly more often than not if you regularly refresh the event listing on Ticketmaster) if you wait until the week of the event or even the day of the event you can obtain tickets to a previously sold out event and/or tickets at a reduced cost. Everyone has their own price to enjoyment ratio and sometimes you have to decline to attend an event out of principle if they insist on pricing the event too high.

Well, you have WWE actively promoting how successful their price gouging is, but also this is Vegas, a place people go to gleefully set money on fire.
Looks like they're going to need all that money to pay out a settlement:


Given that announcers were literally making inside jokes about this on-air while it was going on... yeah, they all knew.

I don't think TKO will be involved for much longer. This all happened way way before they were involved.

Irwin, not Irving. ;) Though Johnson is her real last name. Also and more importantly, what has she said or done now?
Irvin, but thanks for doing that weird corrections you always seem to do. I should have dropped the “g” my mistake. I guess.

She’s lashing out at fans on Twitter. Probably deleted a bunch of shit now is my guess. It was hilarious.

Ah yes. There it is

You can take the girl out of New Bedford but you can’t take the New Bedford out of the girl

Imagine someone being targeted by sick and deranged freaks who should be removed from society with the most horrible and disgusting shit imaginable nonstop and mocking the person being targeted for how they deal with it.
Imagine that. I’m not an angel by any means, but I’m pretty selective on who I give any negative attention to. There’s a reason for it in this case.

Otherwise, I ignore.

It was surprising to hear she didn't like announcing since she is really good at it.

People are deranged to be mad at her leaving her job (after giving months of notice) to try something new
I was surprised too. She seemed like she enjoyed it at least

To be upset with somebody for quitting a job they weren’t in love with though? That’s just absurd.
