Aussies Going To WM31

Any other Aussies flying over for WM31? It can be difficult to live the dream, if you have no idea of the process of how to get there. Questions on Travel Packages, flights, sights, etc, post them here and we can make things easier for everyone.

I flew to WM27 with 2 friends, and only did the Fri-Tues thing on the Silver Package. Not a single regret at all. In fact, when we landed back in Australia, we said with all that we had seen and done in those 5 days, it felt more like 10 days.

For WM29, I was with 3 friends on a Silver Package, we spent 2 weeks in NY and saw many of the sights and felt the buzz of being in The Big Apple.

Both WM trips have been worth every bit of time, savings and research I've put into them. No regrets at all.

While the wrestling stuff is the focus, seeing the sights, museums, history and culture of the host city means just as much. We are planning on spending 2-3 weeks in California, going to many of the theme parks in various cities, and maybe a day trip to Tijuana from San Diego.

Any other Aussies have plans yet?

For Aussies going (Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney), I have checked the times and we would need to buy tickets at

3AM on October 7th 2014.

If I'm wrong please tell me, 3am isn't too bad.


Aussies in Adelaide

2.30am on October 7th 2014.

I don't know what's worse 3am for you guys, or 5am for us in NZ. I went to bed at 1am and got back up at 4:45am :lol

And I used a MasterCard to book as well! :)

39 days for me, can't wait!

^ To make up for the fact they axed some shows, they have to charge the remaining shows more most likely. Another reason why axing the other shows wasn't a good idea!

I wonder if they'll get the same crowds as usual.. I'm on the fence about whether to go or not. I haven't missed since 05 but 150 for my seat is a stretch. I got both Raw's for cheaper than that. Hopefully my work is going well by then so I can afford it and not have to sell it

Going to a WrestleMania would be a dream come true, unfortunately i'm only 18 years old so will have to wait another few years yet until I can figure out a way too go. I've never even been to a live event In Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne before :(

For all Aussies and NZers, must be inside 4 weeks til the fly out date?

For myself, it's 23 days. Just about got everything sorted, with the package, Wrestle Con Super Ticket on the Friday, ROH that night, Go LA Card for all the attractions it offers, Tijuana, San Francisco with Alcatraz.

Just hanging now to see who Wrestle Con still have up their sleeve.

32 days till we go! We leave on March 26. I'm leaving for the USA the latest of everybody who's posted so far, but that's cos I'm staying in the USA for 2 and a half weeks after Mania weekend is done, I don't go home until April 19! :lol

I'm flying straight into San Fran and then heading into San Jose.

We're pretty much 95% organised - we just need to convert some more money (put some on our travel debit card and get some cash), I need to make some signs for Mania & Raw (making John Cena, Dean Ambrose & a NZ related sign) and buy a few more things for the trip.

wow, can't believe its within a month now. we leave the day before.

i made these colour novelty tickets for my son with his photo and one of the superstar he's meeting for each of the VIPs sessions we're going to. He can't wait. He comes home from after school care each day with a new paper WWE championship belt he's made.

Not much else for us to do, apart from deciding what to do with these 2 Dean Ambrose VIP tickets, and the Thursday and Friday GA Axxess tickets I bought before i got the VIPs.

^ I'm in NZ and I have mine now!! I posted photos in the main Mania travel thread. It's so exciting when you finally have your tickets in your hands, it makes me even more amped!

I'll be going to my third straight from Aus.

Plans for WM31 so far are spending Sat - Thursday in San Francisco, then hopping the Caltrain down to San Jose for all the WM stuff.

Hotels all booked, just waiting on the right time regarding flights.

3 years running, that's a big effort, but it shows your commitment to the cause, well done. You must have to save like a demon once you've come back from a WM, to do all it again the year after.I didn't go to WM30, what was New Orleans like as a city? And were the venues for Axxess, HOF, WM and Raw better planned than what they were for the hugely time consuming WM29?


I've thought about going every year, but there are so many other places in the world that I want to see, so I'm going every 2nd year. If 33 is Philly, then I'd say I'm going. Could see Philly, Washington and New York in one hit.

Will be heading over for the epic trip. Extremely nervous and unsure on how to get these packages and would live to organise the weekend with a group if possible. Any help would be great!

Hoping to get in the rows 5-12 category do it all big and right for possibly our only Mania.
 
#4 ·
I'd think the rows 1-4 are the best for packages, 5-12 you could be disadvantages since there is no elevation in the seating so your view might be impaired by others.

Packages will go on sale usually in August and expect the official WM31 thread to be flooding with info, presale codes and the like.

Hey everyone!

I just moved to Aussie this week actually, got my one year visa (hopefully will extend) and looking to maybe go to WM next year, anyone know how much roughly I'd be looking at?!

Might attend the house show in Perth in a few weeks at the Perth Arena, anyone else going?

Welcome to our beautiful country. Where did you move from?

How much WM costs, um, that's got many variables. Depends if you are thinking of buying a WM package through WWE, usually on sale mid August. Then that depends if you are going solo, or as a group of 2, 3 or 4 people. The price decreases dramatically, the more people you have in your touring party. A maximum of 4 are allowed.

Looking at my tix for WM27, which were on the Silver Package (cheapest package);
Axxess $40 (you get tix to 2 sessions)
HOF was $79
WM $108
Raw $64
Plus hotel for 4 nights, it was the Marriott in Atlanta. Total cost for all of the above was about $900.

Looking at my tix for WM29, which were on the Silver Package (cheapest package);
Axxess $50 (again we got tix to 2 sessions)
HOF $105
WM $180
Raw $70
Public transport pass for 4 days.
Plus hotel for 4 nights, it was the Sheraton Times Square. Total cost for all of the above was about $1000.

However, if you plan to buy separate tickets to WM, HOF, Raw and Axxess, all have different on sale dates and you'd have to be aware of those to get the tix you want.

Any other questions, just ask mate and I'm sure myself, or others here who have been, would be happy to answer.

Yeah, same guys re flights from Brisbane. Have not seen anything under $1300.

In 2 weeks time, there is a Flight Centre Travel Expo here. At previous Expo's, Bris-LA return has been $1000-1100. So that is what my mate and I are holding out for. If that price isn't at the expo, we'll wait and do our own research to ge the deal we want.

This is the link to the other Travel Expo's around Australia coming very soon

Got my flights at the Melbourne Travel Expo on Sunday - $1250 return with QANTAS, leaving Friday March 20th and returning Tuesday March 31st. We also got $150 each in accommodation credits, and another $100 back for booking rooms on the day, so ended up booking three nights in Beverly Hills for a grand total of $400. Not a bad start!
 
#29 ·
Wow. Those prices are outstanding. Looks like Platinum could be my limit. Was hoping for VIP But with 2 of us. Looks costly. Hopefully someone can find out more info. Hmmmm will head over. Just unsure which category ñow.

Going solo, so gonna book everything separate seeing as how the packages are way overpriced.
