WrestleMania is such a monster of a spectacle that, even in the era of online queues replacing physical box office ones, an on-sale day is still an event. Unlike in 2020 and 2021, when nothing was.

As professional wrestling and everything else gingerly stepped back out into a version of normality in 2021, WrestleMania 37 was - pleasingly - able to have a socially distanced crowd in Raymond James Stadium a year after WrestleMania 36 was supposed to take place there.

Trepidation and uncertainty were rife about everything at the time though, resulting in tickets for the April 10th/11th show going on sale less than one month earlier on March 16th 2021. The date was significant. It was 12 months to the day that WWE (and specifically Vince McMahon) gave up the ghost on 2020's 'Show Of Shows' and accepted defeat at the hands of coronavirus. A year after the company confirmed that Raymond James was OUT and a no-crowd taping was IN, they were with some relief able to confirm the exact reverse.
