MITB Saturday 1st July in UK

montyrebel

Just saw on facebook that thus years Money in the Bank PPV is fro the O2 Arena in London

PTH2009

Delighted with the news and planning the trip as we speak

Tickets are going to be a lot harder to get as will hotels/flights etc at a cheap price. Maybe a nap on a airport floor might be an idea

Announcement came out of the blue, 2 days after the Dublin House show

Lord TSC

Thats awesome that it's a proper big event like that. CotC was obviously a big step forward, but getting the MITB will nearly guarantee some proper big time moments. They were obviously very happy with the reception they got last time.

J. Marston

Cool. Should be a class atmosphere but surprised they didn't go to a bigger arena/stadium. They sold 60k-ish tickets easily for the Wales show. 02 arena is only 20k. Can never rely on weather in this part of the world though so I suppose they don't want to risk a wash-out, even in July.

PTH2009

The bigger stadiums in London have events on already

Few cheap enough hotel options around atm. Town called 'Barking' has one at £58 per night

CastorTroy

I thought they said they weren't doing the event this year and would have the matches during Mania.

£££ talks

This is going to be very much different too Cardiff as there won't be the 'full city feel' with London been so massive and big scale events happening around the city most of the time there during the summer

Then the capacity of the venue is a lot smaller, be some slog for tickets but I'll try my hardest. MITB is up there with the Rumbles as the best things about the WWE year

Nah, Triple H said in a media thing that he wanted to get rid of hell in a cell and tlc, because he didn't like the forced setup, but things like mitb and elimination chamber would stay as fixture matches. Twitter clickbait **** like Xeronews then stretched it to "MITB PPV CANCELLED~~~~~"

jo187

Have flights and accommodation booked. Will get the cheapest seats going don't care just be cool to be there

PTH2009

Had a $360 (approx €330) silver package in the cart but no avail at checkout sadly and now No 'single' tickets left

Will give it my best shot in the WWE presale and if needs be the general one. Such a pity they couldn't give it a go in one of the many stadiums in London. Wembley is booked on the night but could easily of done Spurs stadium or the Etihad.

Surprised they didn’t go with the Spurs stadium myself.

A couple of sites are reporting ticket pricing is going to be crazy high even for the nose bleeds.

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120071234#Comment_120071234

Expecting to be paying at least £120-£200 and trying to prepare that amount

daithi1989

Have accom and flights booked myself - hoping tickets wont be too dear!

I'd say a lot higher based on the price that CATC was. Going to be tough to get tickets here. Be interesting when AEW run too.

Pro tip, book this for after the show

https://www.thamesclippers.com

Grab a beer, sit outside and cruise up the Thames by big Ben and under the tower bridge, perfect end to a night.

Or spend an hour in the queue for the tube in an enclosed space with a group of people not renowned for their hygiene......

Your choice.

PTH2009

Actually agree and definitely recommend this

EKeaveney

Hey everyone,

Has anybody received an E-mail back from WWE after signing up to the presale? Just wondering if we should have got one. Cheers!

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120072549#Comment_120072549

You don't get an acknowledgement email. You should receive an email with a specific code a few days before the sale

Happy I'm sorted and I get a free hat for my troubles too 😀

Loughc

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120073572#Comment_120073572

You went with the silver package? Pricey enough.

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120073915#Comment_120073915

Yeah it is but I'll cherish that damn hat and lanyard

Suppose getting a hotel room so cheap for the night makes up for the ticket cost and I'll make the most of the experience

Flights next on the agenda, pity Cityjet are gone. Be do handy to fly into London City Airport

EKeaveney

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120073572#Comment_120073572

Excellent, appreciate the help!

PTH2009

Flight prices not friendly

Got a BA Dublin to London City Airport for €62 one way for morning of the event

Definitely will have to look elsewhere for the return journey on the 2nd July. Gatwick seems the cheapest

Can't recommend this highly enough btw, well worth a few extra quid and a great way to unwind after

The best way to see any city built on a river is by boat, it's how the original planners designed it. Chicago, Berlin, Dublin, Prague, New York, I've done them all.

Or you can be stuck on a sweaty tube between 2 20 stone lads in 2 sizes too small Alexa Bliss hoodies trying to sing Rollins theme music .......

titan18

Might give it a pass now

How come?

titan18

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120093287#Comment_120093287

If rumours are true, and WWE is going to the Saudis, I'd feel **** for supporting them, but it also likely coincides with Vince running creative again, which is not good.

PTH2009

We'll see what the future holds regarding this event, suppose if it's cancelled I'll get my $$ back

PTH2009

Doubt it will happen but be some laugh if AEW announce there show for the same weekend, plenty of options for them

jo187

It's February and no announcement on tickets sale date. I know it's still a bit away but like to get my ticket as know it's going to sell out.

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120186236#Comment_120186236

CATC was officially announced last March (name wasn't revealed til a few weeks after) and tickets didn't go sale till May. Wonder are they still working out a few logistics because its in the middle of a Live Event tour with both on the road. SD Crew in Dublin 29th June but no show scheduled yet for the 30th. Hardly tape a Episode of SD in the O2 the night before MITB (I'd be miffed as my flights are booked for the 1st July ha)

Bit the bullet and got one of the 'On Location Silver Packages' for MITB. Worked out around €370/$390. Feel the tickets could be over £100 anyway and will a lottery to get them esp with the capacity. Prices for the package now start at $425

Hard not to be mad at myself for paying that much but YOLO and It'd be disappointing missing out. Hopefully back to stadiums in 2024 with less pressure on ticket demand.

jo187

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120188638#Comment_120188638

Yeah it's a worry like you say easily be 100 pounds for the worst seats.

Loughc

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120189580#Comment_120189580

I’ve seen rumours of £120 for the nose bleed seats. At only 19,000 capacity this will sell out very quickly even at those prices.

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120189639#Comment_120189639

This is the view from the section (got from the seatview site) I got in the ticket package. I do get a free Hat/Lanyard and dedicated entry point as part of it.

Saw a concert there years ago sitting in the section across. It's an incredible Arena and literally didn't realise its only a section of the complex and you can literally spend the whole day inside

JP Liz V1

I think red hot Gunther should win here and cash in at SS

Think it's a huge possibility giving his Rumble performance

Loughc

https://www.wwe.com/article/friday-night-smackdown-headed-to-the-o2-in-london-the-night-before-money-in-the-bank

Smackdown to be held in the o2 the night before as well

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120220069#Comment_120220069

Ballax, you'd think they'd announce it all together. Prob not the only one after buying the MITB packages

Not sure what to do now, prob an extra £300 with flight changes/extra hotel etc

29th-SD House show in Dublin

30th- SD in O2

1st- MITB in O2

A nice but pretty expensive few days of grappling

daithi1989

You have your ticket for MitB, forget bout Smackdown!

Just hoping this wont eat too much into the MitB tickets when they go on sale separately!

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120220515#Comment_120220515

True and few other factors to consider (Raw Crew have a house show in Newcastle the 30th).

Tbh there might not even be a standalone sales for each event

We could end up sering CATC 2 before the year is out with they way the schedules are going nowadays. The whole touring schedule is strange enough post covid.

PTH2009

Bit the bullet and changed my flight over to the Friday 30th June ha. Got a little lucky on the hotel front in terms of price with a stay in 2 different hotels in Barking working out at £143 for the 2 nights

I'm hoping I'll pick up a ticket for the SD show in the coming months (prob see the same roster the night before in Dublin ha), if not I'm sure I'll find something too do for the night Thankfully sorted for MITB

Trip 1 of 2 too London sorted

PTH2009

From The O2 website

'Tickets for both Smackdown and Money in The Bank are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers via Priority from 12pm on Wednesday 23 February and go on general sale at 12pm on Friday 24 February via www.theo2.co.uk. Limited single event tickets will be available in due course'

Have hope ill pick up a SD only ticket, know I'd have a good chance of selling a MITB ticket if I bought a Combo ticket in this weeks sales but feel the cheapest ticket could be in the range of £150 which is very much not cheap. No guarantee the tickets will be separate either and the QR code could be for access to both shows

Don't think I'll be going to one of the'Hooked On Wrestling' after parties. The one after CATC was not great. Maybe it was just everyone was a bit jaded ha

Layout is different which I imagine is to accommodate more fans

Gyan84

Anybody have any idea how to get into the priority sales before the general sale Friday opens ?

I don't have a UK phone number for the virgin media/o2 presale and even though I've bought WWE tickets through ticketmaster before I haven't gotten any email from them.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120274073#Comment_120274073

Theres a WWE Presale today https://www.wwe.com/mitb2023-presale-registration , but I haven't got a code and the sale is in 90 mins don't think anyone has got it yet

titan18

Just got the code there for it. I'm assuming this is going to sell out within minutes based on the capacity here. Based on CATC pricing, I reckon 450ish for lower tier, and probably 250 for the good upper tier seats, so going to be expensive.

Gyan84

No email received here but I did only sign up for it an hour ago.

Is the code unique per person is it one code for everyone ? Saw someone on reddit saying the code is WWEPRESALE

titan18

Delayed an hour. Bah

mightyreds

Yeah thats it should get you in, sale pushed back to 1

PTH2009

Huge demand for the presale is the reason its pushed back

Gyan84

Any word on how much the combo ticket prices are ?

Seen plenty of people on twitter complaining but all the screenshots I've seen are of ringside seats which will obviously be expensive. Haven't been to a PPV before so not sure what the 'normal' price would be.

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120274873#Comment_120274873

Someone posted up a screenshot from the O2 Priority sale and there pretty high
