Hi everyone. I was wondering if you could explain how wrestlemania axxess works? I have been wanting to go to this event for years now and I can never muster up the money to go. I wanted to go last year to see the Undertaker but Texas is just too far away for me. Since it is in Florida this coming year, I figured I could go to this one. How does the event work? I know that there are regular admission tickets, VIP, and premium VIP tickets but I don't know what the difference is between them. I want to meet superstars like the Undertaker, Sasha Banks, Sami Zayn, and Bayley. What do you have time to do in one day? Do the superstars stay the entire day? Is there even a chance of meeting everyone you want to meet? I don't want to get my expectations too high and then not have the chance to meet any of them. Please inform me...

You pay 150$ to meet 1 VIP superstar for like 30 seconds. Or you can pay like 50$, stand in line for 3 hours and meet Fandango and Rosa Mendes. The Axxess system is honestly terrible. Could be done so much better.

Could be done so much better. That's basically it. I've gone to several Axxess sessions, and it's usually disappointing. At least this year, they taped 4 episodes of NXT, so that was great. But I met 2 wrestlers in 4 hours, with a VIP ticket

I agree, although wrestlecon is more expensive it's a much better experience. But of course if you want current guys than axxess if the way to go. Also I'm hoping that wrestlecon in Orlando brings in Cody, Sandow and Barrett.

Also I'm hoping that wrestlecon in Orlando brings in Cody, Sandow and Barrett. i had about 45 seconds with the Dudley's because I got an old tlc VHS signed by them and the hardys, and I told the hardys I was getting it signed by the Dudley's so Matt wrote "get the tables!" To mess with them, so I told then about thag and they laughed then d-Von joked with me about the tape he says "do you even know what this is?" "Yeah" "What is it?" "A VHS tape" "I didn't think your generation knew what these were!" So that was a pretty good experience. Yeah, wrestle con adds up in cost but when your going to mania you just gotta go for it and expect to spend a lot, my mom was pissed at me and my dad for how much we spent this year(she didn't really say it, but we could tell by how she was acting and the way she'd look at us when we spent more money, luckily she just let us have fun) she couldn't believe it when we came back from the superstore and I had a replica belt over my shoulder(which I paid for), but we didn't really care about costs, we were meeting wrestlers and going to wrestling shows every night, so we were happy as hell. Lol Yeah I hope that they come in for wrestlecon, ecspecialy Cody.

Wow. I didn't know you had to pay to meet one wrestler...I won tickets from a radio show to WrestleMania 27. Got the whole package. Hall of Fame, Axxess, Raw after. Met like 5 superstars. Didn't have to pay a dime.

Lol Yeah I hope that they come in for wrestlecon, ecspecialy Cody. For sure. I've also learned that the general admission ticket simply slows down the entire process. Since VIPs get in first you can take your pic of who's signing station you want to hit first. Also one thing that really bugged me this year was people taking advantage of the disabled line. I agree that those who need it should be more than able to use the line. However there were lots of jerks who were taking advantage and using that line. I hope WWE figures out a way to cut down on that.

When we were in line for the Dudley's this guy got in line behind us and he was annoying as hell but I'll give it to the guy, he was disabled but he waited in line just like everybody else.

I completely understand why WWE has that line. Especially for those who have physical limitations but I agree with you, people take advantage. It's really not fair to everyone else. I've also seen one person who is disabled bring 6-7 people with them in line. Again, there has to be some type of clear guideline.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but I think that this year's Axxess had a LOT more tickets sold than in previous years. Keep in mind, most WM's draw in the neighborhood of 70-80k, while this year's drew almost 100. Even a Saturday GA sold out well in advance. I don't think there were enough booths to suffice to cover the amount of people in attendance.
The Axxess formula is by no means great, but there won't be 100k in Orlando. I'd expect less people at Axxess. I'd think meeting 3-4 names per session could be doable.

If you play your cards right i'd say you can meet 4-5 with GA tickets. I took my son this year and we got zak Ryder, goldust, the matadores, rusev & lana so that's 4. We got lucky because nobody gave a crap about the matadores and we got to ryders booth about 10th in line.

But I met 2 wrestlers in 4 hours, with a VIP ticket I still don't think I am completely understanding how it works? Is it not the entire day? Are you spending the whole day meeting only 3-5 people and doing absolutely nothing else or are you doing everything that is there and then only meeting 3-5 people? Also, is it unrealistic then to expect to meet people like the Undertaker, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Sasha Banks, and Paige all in one day? I still don't think I am completely understanding how it works? Is it not the entire day?

Also, is it unrealistic then to expect to meet people like the Undertaker, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Sasha Banks, and Paige all in one day? It's done in 3-4 hour blocks. So On Saturday, they have an 8-12pm session, a 1-5pm session and a 6-10pm session. Its in an enormous convention hall. Wrestler signings are taking place all over the place, usually around 15 at a time. General admission gets you in, and you can go to any general admission signings. For an extra 30-40 bucks, you can get a VIP signing, which is a better known superstar, and you are guarenteed to meet him or her, whereas general admission, nothing is guaranteed. There is more than just signings, they have all sorts of activities, memorabilia on display, a mini HOF, giant merch store etc. And no, absolutely no chance you are meeting them in 1 day unless they are all VIP and you shell out $800 for all of them. The general admission lines fill up really fast, and you will be waiting at least an hour to meet someone like the Ascension

Like on Saturday, I believe it was 8-12, 1-5, & 6-10. So if you want to be there all day, you'd have to buy 3 tickets. Also, GA signers switch out every 2 hours. A lot of who you get to meet is based on how many people are in line, how fast they are moving them through, & how deep into the line you are.

You're talking the line where I remember seeing AJ Styles stop every 15 minutes to go to to sign their autographs was a disabled line? I always thought that was a VIP line. BTW, I only got to meet Cesaro and Alundra Blayze both days, which I was like 7 guys in before AJ had to stop. One thing that pissed me off was how the New Day had to share their time with Sami Zayn. I understand they had to go to Wrestlemania, but they could have done a line for Sami Zayn and a line for New Day. At least my dad got to meet Sami Zayn face to face while I got to meet Alundra Blayze.

Lol

That's for disable and VIP's from my understanding. At least that's how it worked at WMXXX.

No it's just for the disabled. It really got me when I saw the father/daughter duo in the electric carts in the disabled line and then I see them walk around the hotel just fine. I really hope that one comes around.

So here's a question along these lines.
I'm "done" collecting from Mattel at the moment. My main intent is to get the following autographs:
Kevin Owens on his Mattel Elite Finn Balor on his demon Mattel Elite Sting on both of his DM Mattels Samoa Joe on his Mattel Elite Becky Lynch on her Mattel Basic Sami Zayn on his Mattel Elite. Seth Rollins on his Exclusive Mattel Elite (Wrestlemania 31) Dean Ambrose from his more recent Mattel Elite
Assuming that these wrestlers are present at this year's Axxess, am I allowed to bring these figures into Axxess? Are there certain rules I must follow when bringing them in? Ideally, I would like to have Sting sign a baseball bat, but I think they wouldn't let me in. So does anyone know if this is doable?How would you transport them around?
