Two-day combo tickets for the first-ever two-night SummerSlam officially went on sale Friday. This year’s event takes place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, home of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.
According to Minneapolis.org, the stadium has a seating capacity of 66,200. Adjusted for staging and field seating, WWE’s “biggest party of the summer” could host between 60,000 and 70,000 fans.
A review of the seating chart at Ticketmaster, though, shows WWE has opened seating for only half of the stadium,
which was also the case during the initial presale, according to a seating chart shared by WrestleTix. Additional sections are often opened closer to the event as demand increases.
In April, WWE’s biggest event of the year, WrestleMania, drew fewer fans than it did in 2025, with the return to Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium partly to blame. In a story for Post Wrestling, Brandon Thurston reported that WWE President Nick Khan took responsibility during a staff meeting earlier this week.
“That was ultimately my decision,” Khan reportedly told those assembled. “Maybe we don’t do that one again in terms of back-to-back, but ultimately it ended up being a successful event.”
Currently, pricing for SummerSlam ranges by section and row. Ringside seats in Section A across from the hard cam go for $8,268.75 for “Official Platinum” seats in row three. As the seats go back, prices drop all the way to $1,342.25 in row 14.
The least expensive ticket retails for $152.10 near the top of the stadium at the 300 levels.
SummerSlam 1992 at London’s Wembley Stadium still boasts the largest attendance ever in the event’s history. At the time, WWE announced a figure of 80,355, while other outlets, such as SI, have listed the figure at just under 79,000.
Topping that number on either night will be a tough task. Still, the combined attendance and final gate could make this the most successful SummerSlam in company history. WWE is doing its part to drum up interest, releasing full matches from past events.
On Thursday, it uploaded Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed from last year’s SummerSlam. On Friday, it highlighted the Women’s World Championship triple threat between Naomi, Rhea Ripley, and Iyo Sky, also from the same show.
SummerSlam 2026 takes place Aug. 1 and Aug. 2.
