With SummerSlam 2026 now only two weeks away, WWE is getting desperate in its attempts to pack out Minneapolis' US Bank Stadium.

That stadium has a general capacity of around 66,000, with the ability to be expanded to 72,000 if needed. Per WrestleTix, US Bank Stadium will be set up for a crowd of 29,500, though both days of SummerSlam have currently sold in the region of 22,500 tickets each.

For comparison, SummerSlam 2025, from New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, had 53,000 in attendance for Day 1 and 60,500 for Day 2. So, that's quite the drop off from year-to-year.

When SummerSlam 2026 tickets went on sale back in May, the bulk of them ranged from $400 - $3,000, with the absolute cheapest being in the region of $200, not including taxes and fees. However, in a clear attempt to try and get people through the doors at US Bank Stadium, WWE is now offering SummerSlam tickets for $25 for a limited time by using the code "JJets" at Ticketmaster.

For WWE to class SummerSlam as a "sellout" - despite only booking out half of US Bank Stadium's maximum capacity - they'd realistically need to shift another 7,000 tickets or so for each day by the time the PLE rolls around in a couple of weeks.

In terms of a line-up, WWE has certainly gone big with SummerSlam, including WWE Champion CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, and Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi in Hell in a Cell.
