This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!
Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.
Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
6. Banned Source(s).
Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:
- WrestleVotes
- RingSideNews
- Brad Shepard
- Billi Bhatti and "The Dirty Sheets"
- Any post or article citing one of the above as a primary source.

Ticketmaster at it again.

...OH FUCK OFF LMAO
$512 CAD for the cheapest seats. For that kinda money A few TKO board members better be servicing me through the whole show and I don't mean bringing me stuff from the food stand.
Yeah... $375US for a "cheap" seat is fucking robbery.
Also, our dollars need to be better friends. Math is hard.
Tap for spoiler
My stupid ass actually tried to do the math before recalling I could just put it in the Google machine.

Granted, I haven't looked into how much it would cost to go to a show here in the states, but after converting to dollars, that's about what I would expect to see. Is that a lot higher than normal?
Depends on the show, but overall yes. For comparison:
WWE SummerSlam this August, lowest priced ticket available as of this comment: $200 USD/β€159 GBP
Regular every day show (in this case a Raw next week), lowest priced ticket available as of this comment: $20 USD/β€16 GBP
I genuinely expected prices to be absolutely bonkers regardless of the importance of the show. Thanks for the info.
The trick in North America is to keep anything that can placate the masses lower priced, that way they can fuck our arseholes raw on the prices of actual necessities! lmao.
It's the same thing they did with the UFC Business model, as they got more popular their tickets went insane. Now they are doing the same with WWE, which I guess we shouldn't be surprised as it's the WWE executives being shown the doors.
In fairness, the late Attitude Era prices were crazy high, for decent seats in Greensboro it was almost an entire month's worth of afterschool jobs at the 5.15 minimum wage. So it could just be capitalism.
