Hey guys,i saw that Rumble Travel Packages went on sale and was wondering what peoples experiences were with them?
My primary motivation for wanting to try it is to get the chair (cuz i've heard where you have to buy your ticket the second they go on sale for any chance at it)

The general consensus on packages is that you are paying for the convenience. I bought one years ago and it make things easy. But once I saw how much money I could save doing it separately, I never did it again. Not sure how difficult it would be to get a ticket for just the Rumble for a ringside chair, but I'm guessing not too terribly hard. But if you'd rather just spend the money for a package, go for it.

I bought a travel package for WrestleMania 33, and then went without one to WrestleMania 34 and 35.
It is so easy to just put in your credit card once and its all paid for. You also don't have to hassle with trying to get the best tickets, because they are obviously the first ones to go when they go up for sale.
All of my tickets from my WM33 travel package were incredible. They had awesome seats to all of the events and these seats are blocked off specifically for travel package holders.
They booked my hotel so my hotel was just filled with wrestling fans who did the same thing I did, so that was a lot of fun.
Round-trip shuttle transportation to and from WrestleMania. This was so helpful in a city like Orlando because I am sure an Uber from my hotel to the stadium would have easily been $100 or more at the time, EACH WAY!

For Mania 34 and 35, I saved so much money by battling each individual ticket sale date, and getting an Airbnb.
The money I saved was so big, I could afford to do a lot more. I went to multiple Axxess sessions and did a ton of photo ops and meet and greets at WrestleCon. I also opted to go to ROH rather than NXT, so its not like I wasted my money on an NXT ticket by buying the travel package. Same goes for HoF-- I didn't care about it in 2018 or 2019 so I didn't waste that money.
Worrying about tickets was a huge pain. Rather than paying for RAW, Smackdown, NXT, Mania, HoF, and your hotel in one click, you have to shop around and go from November to February trying to find tickets. Not to mention, Ticketmaster crashes big-time when tickets to Raw and Mania go on-sale.

If you've got the money, get a travel package. If you want to save a bit and don't mind the hassle, go for it on your own! In your case, it could fall between fighting Ticketmaster for an hour trying to get a ticket that comes with a chair, and perhaps even guessing which sections come with PPV chairs; or buying the whole weekend experience and guaranteeing yourself a chair but definitely paying more for it.
PS: If you're not driving, I shipped my PPV chair at FedEx from Orlando to Iowa for about $55 total.

I debated buying a travel package when i went to Mania 33 but i decided against it since it would be way to expensive and i bought everything individually. It really does come down to your budget, if you don't care how much you spend and don't want the stress of going on ticketmaster then get a travel package. There's also a chance of getting a chair at Raw the night after Mania since at SummerSlam this year they were selling extra Takeover and Summerslam chairs at Raw.
