WWE Talent Now Negotiating Comp Tickets Into Their Contracts Amid Strict Policy

TLDR

WWE talent are now negotiating complimentary ticket access directly into their contracts following the company's policy shift to scale back on free tickets, instead offering only discounted purchase options. After Rikishi publicly criticized the strict comp ticket policy on his podcast, stating that even with a Legends contract he can no longer easily secure seats for family, several WWE stars have reportedly worked ticket provisions into their deals. According to Fightful Select, many wrestlers now expect comp ticket negotiations to become a standard contract request as talent push back against WWE's revenue-focused approach during a period of high ticket demand.
