Ticketmaster was an absolute nightmare on my end. Through both their mobile site and phone app at least. I Had to rush home and jump on my lap top to sway things in my favor. 32 minutes into the presale and somehow snagged up a ticket in section 142. Definitely made it worth the hassle, couldn't be happier.

WrestleMania in stadiums usually have field risers (centralized on the field; closer to the ring and slightly below where 100 level begins), and the legit 100 level. The centralized risers are more, maybe $500-600. But these have a good view, but the slope is very low, so it can be even easier to have your view blocked by tall people and/or signs (even signs from people in the front rows of ringside). Then there are the 100's, which should be about $300-500, but the potential distance and angle of your seat is more varied. The good thing is that the Mercedes Benz dome is indoors, and thus most likely won't have a "tent" with obstructions on the four corners. A $1000 budget should be more than enough to get you tickets in these sections, however, your challenge will be getting them off Ticketmaster. The central field risers are pretty much exclusive to travel packages, depending on how many they sell, because they're also reserved for family and friends of talent (which I was lucky enough to purchase through a WWE director who hooked us up for WM31). There will be many more level 100 seats, but again, those will probably be the ones most people are trying to get, and will be reduced to a lottery once they go on sale. Drop any other questions you may have before they go on sale and I can try to answer your questions. Good luck! Thank you for taking the time out for that response. Touched on a lot of variables I never took into consideration. My main concern was the price - which sounds like I'm good in that aspect. As far as Ticketmaster goes; you're right. It's a frenzy. The last presale I was involved in was for the Royal Rumble this year. I jumped in as soon as it opened, set my search to the highest price, and was still bumped 19 rows back. It may just come down to dumb luck, but I'm leaning more towards the 100 section now since you made the point of the slope of the risers as well as it being an indoor stadium. Even if it's not central, I think it sounds like a safe bet for an unobstructed view that's not too far back. I could honestly sit in the back of the stadium blinfolded and have the time of my life, but obviously wanna make the best decision which you've aided in quite significantly. Thank you again and I hope you have an awesome time at Wrestlemania! No problem! Were you able to get tickets?

Here's what my Holographic/3D Holiday Tour ticket looks like. If you do any kind of WrestleMania scrapbook or display thing, the 3D ticket will make a nice addition.

A little towards the back in row 30, but for the price and the rate tickets were moving, I'm more than happy.

So I previously purchased the silver package, and was unable to ascertain whether they would come with the holographic tickets. So, I plopped down $70 for something cheap but commemorative. Wish they would have done this for my first one.

Got tickets for myself, my friend, and his son. Section M, Row 13, seats 21-23. Now I wait for NXT, HOF, and Axxess tickets to go on sale. I am happy WM is once again here in NOLA.

Anyone have experiences with Airbnb, or stayed in one back in 2014 for WrestleMania XXX?
I just rented one. The advertised prices for them are around maybe $80 a night, but then you go over a weekend and some bump up to like $500 a night for Friday and Saturday! Unbelievable. I was able to find a condo that is minutes of walking to Bourbon Street one way and the WWE venues the other way for only $780 for April 5th through the 10th. It also has an awesome rooftop pool. Split between my buddy, $360 is a great price for housing.
I'm very glad I did not go the travel package route this year. I was planning on it until about a week before packages went on sale, and I saw the cheapest one for a party of two would be $1,500. I've planned my entire trip, including plane tickets, living, Progress, WrestleCon supershow, Janela Spring Break, and PWR Pancakes and Piledrivers, great ROH Supercard of Honor tickets, plus my WrestleMania tickets. I've only spent around $950 for all of that, and I only have RAW and Axxess left to buy. We'll see about HOF, and of course I need spending money, but this trip has been a lot more fun to plan without a travel package and it really has saved me a good amount of money so far. If I went a travel package route, this would easily be around $2,000 right now considering I wouldn't pay for Mania, RAW, HOF, or living, but I would still cover my indy event tickets, ROH tickets, and my flight.
Last year I went platinum travel packages, and it was incredible. It was also awesome to just make a one-click purchase and not have to wait months to get all of your WWE tickets because they all have different on-sale dates. One thing that drove me crazy about it was that I didn't know where any of my seats were until I got my tickets in the mail. I bought my packages in early November and didn't get my tickets until the very beginning of March, so it was a long time coming!
I can see a lot of benefits to both. I loved the travel package options, and the round-trip shuttle to and from WrestleMania was a life-saver in a city that sucks to get around like Orlando. For NOLA, a shuttle is kind of unnecessary. The city is littered with hotels and I'm sure that the WWE got ones super close to the Smoothie King Center and the Super Dome. I had a blast booking this trip with my buddy- waiting and getting awesome seats for WrestleMania and finding a good place to stay. I also didn't plan on going to NXT because of ROH, and I may not go to Hall of Fame this year, so the package wouldn't of helped me there. And my expenses aren't over yet, but it looks like I'll save hundreds of dollars doing this on my own.
So there's that. The biggest differences of the travel package versus booking the trip on your own. I would suggest booking it on your own if I had to do it all over again.

Anyone know about where to find a presale code for RAW after Mania? They go on sale this Friday, so I’m assuming that there will be a presale on Wednesday.
If anyone finds a code, post it in the thread please!

Someone on Twitter mentioned the code WWEFAN but didn't say when the presale started. It's okay with me!

I’m gonna try to grab them tomorrow if they’re up. Last year I remember getting killer seats for SD! When they went live since every one was getting Raw tickets. Then got decent raw seats right after.
