Hi

Looking for a little bit of help with this please...I went to Wrestlemania 20,21 and 22 on the WWE Platinum Travel Packages....the last one I was at was in 2006, so I'm a little bit out of the loop...is it usually June or July when the packages are offered??...and when I was going, you had to fax an application to wwe with your credit card details, but I understand the process has changed now, you just purchase the packages off wwe.com with your card...I dont have a visa credit card anymore, just a visa debit...do they except these off wwe.com??

Thanks
Daniel

Yeah it's usually July but for Wrestlemania 29 the went on sale in August. As far as the payment process, yes I do remember the days of the fax lol but they switched to processing payment through PayPal. That's how I paid for WM 28. Didn't get a package for 29 because the prices were a bit outrageous. But from the FAQ section of the Wrestlemania 29 Travel Packages page was this question...


Can I use PayPal to purchase the packages?

At this time, the only acceptable forms of payment are Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. If you have made arrangements for funds to be available in a PayPal account, please contact the Travel Package hotline at 203-359-5182.

So maybe they stopped PayPal for 29 I'm not sure. Maybe someone who bought a package can elaborate on it.

hi, no idea how happy i am to see this post going up. myself and a friend planning to go to wrestlemania next year, first one so never been more excited. thought i would ever get this weekend outa the way so the countdown officially on. we were looking at the packages and we want to book together so we are sitting together at shows and that but we want seperate rooms does anyone know if this is possible. also anyone who has been already has anyone booked things seperate and how did that work out for them ? i ask coz we were planning on staying for a week and the packages are 4 nights max dont really like the idea of moving about once there. any help would be great.

If u guys book a package together the u will be staying in the same room. As far as booking things separate. I'll be doing that myself this year. The previous times I've been have been via a travel package. The prices for 29 were a bit outrageous and they'll only go up from here on out.

The only difference in booking a package and booking separately is ur target dates. Package buyers will need to ready in about 3 months or so cause they usually go on sale in July. General tickets aren't on sale til November. In which u should use that extra time to book ur hotel and flights. No matter which method u choose, be quick! Book as soon as possible cause flight and hotel prices change constantly. And as far as tickets go the sooner the better.


Package buyers buy in July but find out where they are sitting until march. You buy your own tickets in November and u immediately know where your sitting.
Also depending on your preference of hotel you could make out a lot cheaper than buying a package. Numerous sites that have good deals on 4-5 star hotels.

Can't go wrong either way... Up to you.

thats great info thanks. your doing it seperatly. were will you buy your tickets from ? can you get tickets for mania, hall of fame and monday night raw ? from what i have heard about the packages most of the money goes on the hotel which is bit of a bumer. but i would be afraid i wudnt get good tickets if i booked them on my own. i am so excited for both of us it is our trip of a life time. you are going on your own are you travelling from ireland too ?
again thanks for info

The travel packages do take a lot of the hassle out of prepping for Wrestlemania. You make one purchase and boom u got tickets for every event for the whole weekend. It's why I bought them for the Manias I've been to. But rising prices is why I've switched to booking separate.

All tickets that come w/ a travel package can be obtained through Ticketmaster. Like I said, w/ packages you're concerned w/ 2 dates. The date they go on sale and the date they send them to you. Booking separate there's a few dates. Going off this past Wrestlemania...

- Wrestlemania.. Nov 10th
- Axxess Tix (Gen & VIP).. Jan
- Hall of Fame.. Jan 12th
- Raw.. Feb 9th

You can get the same quality tickets as package buyers. Just be quick! If they go on sale at 10am then u should on the page at 955am spamming the refresh button lol. Pre-sale passwords are sent to ppl on the mailing list.

I usually attend Mania w/ my little bro and 2 cousins. And not from Ireland, I reside in the states.

I sent a messege to that email to saying I wanted on that list but WWE hasn't replied back. Does WWE send you an email saying that you are on the list?

Yea they probably still sorting thru this years Mania but what usually happens is they send you back an auto mated response and that in itself adds u to the list. Or u can go on WWE.com and set up a account/profile.

Gambino Capo you have been a mind of info today thanks very much. im just dying to put my name to something to say im officially going. haha.

No problem at all. I stumbled across this board almost 3yrs ago and like u had a lot of questions for ppl who had more experience than me. They helped me a ton and now with a few Manias under my belt I'm just giving back. I'm here for the next 362 days

Sounds good!

What we were thinking about doing is doing a 3 night package and then calling the hotel to extend an extra day and cut costs, and also buying raw tickets separate. We were thinking about doing this to cut costs.

I see what your saying. Guess that'll depend on what the prices are looking like come this summer whe packages are released. Keep in mind though that the per night rate for package hotels can run $250 n up.

Nope, not at all.

The early talk is that WWE may hold next year’s post WrestleMania 30 edition of Monday Night RAW at the same location that they will hold WrestleMania 30; the Superdome in New Orleans.

The feeling is that the RAW after WrestleMania has become a huge event, and Vince McMahon wants to make it into even more of a can’t miss super show.

Since flights aint included there its just over 2000 euro(which is mental!).

Did anyone book by themselves(Aer lingus, hotel, wrestlemania/raw ticket. What did that come to?

Depending on the city with decent tickets to most events and a weeks hotel it can be done for around €1200 a person,that's what a late trip to Atlanta cost me and my brother
