Add as a preferred source on Google Tonight’s Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden has seen a major surge in ticket sales over the past several days.
According to the latest update from WrestleTix, approximately 13,500 tickets have been distributed for the WWE event in New York City. More than 4,000 of those sales came in the last week alone, a stretch in which the show underwent some significant changes.
Chief among them was the confirmation of Roman Reigns and Jalen Brunson. The World Heavyweight Champion invited the New York Knicks star to the show, and Brunson accepted. The two will appear together in a segment at Madison Square Garden.
The jump also coincided with a WWE promotion offering 30% off tickets through Club WWE. At the time, more than 2,500 seats were still listed as available on Ticketmaster.
Brunson, however, is not expected to get physically involved. WWE discussed pairing him with Danhausen, but those plans were scrapped due to the recent surgery on the player’s left wrist.
Michael Cole also revealed that other Knicks players were invited to the show, though no additional appearances have been officially confirmed.
Along with the Reigns and Brunson segment, the card features CM Punk and Cody Rhodes taking on Gunther and Sami Zayn, Danhausen vs. JD McDonagh in a No Disqualification Match, Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria and more.
Saturday Night’s Main Event airs live on Peacock at 8 p.m. ET. It will be the first edition of the special held at Madison Square Garden since 2007.
