Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

After all the aggravation with Ticketmaster for WrestleMania, I'm considering getting a travel package. But I'm also going solo to the events but double for the hotel (my mom is going to come up to have a weekend in NYC)... so I would probably have to order a double package and sell off an entire half of it. Or I can just take my luck on Ticketmaster and use Stubhub to get my seats.

Im tempting to get travel package for guaranteed good seats and not dealing with scalpers/Ticketmaster bc of sorta the hell I went tho with Mania this year and Slam last year. I lucked out with front row NXT tickets at Summerslam but had to do stubhub for Slam and got decent seats(100s) for Raw. 1 of my friends is coming from Ohio so he could use the hotel but I dont think i can convince my other friend to pay the extra $ for the hotel we probably wont use. Ill decide when they release the prices.

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

*raises her hand* Hopefully my Mum and I will be there! We're heading to NYC in August, so we thought we'd make Summerslam part of the trip cos we'd be in the area anyway.

I'm dreading trying to get tickets to the events though, cos we don't need a travel package cos we'll already have a hotel for the rest of our trip.

I wish WWE did ticket packages without the hotel included, it would make things so much easier.

Even if we end up with just ok seats, I'll be happy. I don't know about NXT or Raw at this time, NXT will prob be impossible to get, so we might settle for Summerslam & Raw.

If we go to this, I'll be going to a live event in NZ then Summerslam about 2 weeks apart :D

I'm lowkey beginning to not like you anymore on some @Legit BOSS type of shit. :(

Somebody buy me this travel package. Or make a sign telling them to bring Summer Slam to Toronto. :(

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

I'll do NXT for sure. Summerslam might be a little tricky since I will hopefully be working at that point and would need to be at work like 4 hours away at 8:30 Monday morning after Mania. I would have to get my brother to agree to drive back and let me sleep in the back seat the whole way and then I have a long Monday and week ahead of me. But hopefully I can make it work. No chance at making it to raw and I doubt I would want to go anyway.

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

I am considering it, i didn't even know you could do a travel package for summerslam!

Do they do Axxess or similar for Summerslam?
They always do travel packages for SummerSlam.

They did meet and greets on Fri-Sat of SummerSlam weekend last year. it was like $110-160 for each meet and greet. IMO it wasnt worth the price.

I think they might do more than just meet and greets this year but we shall see.

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

Just booked a 2 queen room with a terrace balcony right off Times Square for my mom and me. I also have like 4 other cheaper rooms in the area booked, but thinking the terrace will be hard to top and worth the little bit more per night.

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

Flights booked. I see that Summerslam tickets become available April 2nd. Very strange considering everyone will be busy at Mania?

Has this happened before? I wonder if there will be a 'ticket party' for Summerslam in Dallas?

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

Well, we're officially fucked when it comes to Summerslam. April 2, what a dumb time to put the tickets on sale! We won't have any time to breathe that day let alone buy Summerslam tickets, lol.

Why would WWE put tickets to their second biggest event of the year on sale DURING their biggest event? :confused:

We'd get a travel package, but we don't need the hotel cos we'll have one of our own cos we'll be in NYC then anyway.

Boo :(

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

Well that's a real pain in the ass about when tickets go on sale.

Even better is that if they go on sale Saturday April 2nd presale will probably be the Thursday before. Where will I be then you ask? On a plane going to Dallas for Wrestlemania....

Re: Summerslam 2016 - Ultimate Travel Thread

I talked to my Mum, and she said maybe about a travel package :) She wanted me to email WWE and ask about the price breakdown for the Gold & Platinum packages. I did, I'm waiting to hear back from them.

We were going to NYC then anyway, so we'll prob just shuffle the dates around, and make Summerslam the beginning of our holiday and arrive when it starts and do our NYC stuff after it's over.

Then my Mum goes "well, I thought to myself, if you're going to Wrestlemania, and you're going to be in the area for Summerslam, you might as well go to that as well" :lol

EDIT: LOL the package department replied to my email, but they completely ignored my question and just told me when the packages go on sale. I know that WWE, I want to know how much it'll cost for 2 people you dummies!!
 
#19 ·
Does anyone have the breakdown of the summerslam packages from last year? Would like an idea of how much each package would cost per person based on if it was only bought for one person, or only two people, etc... I assume the "starting" prices quoted on each package are based on four people sharing as usual.

Thanks
 
#20 ·
I googled but I couldn't find them. Have you tried emailing WWE and asking? Cos I can't get anything out of them :lol
 
#21 ·
So despite not knowing the price breakdown, my Mum and I have decided on the Gold package :D Woohoo, I'm so excited to buy ours next week! Mania and Summerslam this year :mark:

I also got a generic reply from WWE! Just gone back and found a split though of WrestleMaia 31 packages, they were below:

Gold Package – 3-Night Hotel Accommodations
1 Person - $1,900
2 People - $1,350 per person
3 People - $1,200 per person
4 People - $1,150 per person

Platinum 3 Nights
1 person - $2400
2 people - $1850 per person
3 people - $1750 per person
4 people - $1650 per person

VIP Package – 4-Night Hotel Accommodations
1 Person - $4,450
2 People - $3,750 per person
3 People - $3,600 per person
4 People - $3,500 per person

Based on this I have tried to estimate the summerslam split below, including £ for brits like me. If anyone does have the summerslam split from last year please post though as it will be more accurate (with the price of NYC hotels factored in it might be a bit more expensive)

Gold Package – 3-Night Hotel Accommodations
1 Person - $1,693 (£1,185)
2 People - $1,203 per person (£842)
3 People - $1,070 per person (£749)
4 People - $1,025 per person (£718)

Platinum 3 Nights
1 person - $2,255 (£1,578)
2 people - $1,738 per person (£1,217)
3 people - $1,644 per person (£1,151)
4 people - $1550 per person (£1,085)

VIP Package – 3-Night Hotel Accommodations
1 Person - $3,369 (£2,359)
2 People - $2,839 per person (£1,988)
3 People - $2,726 per person (£1,908)
4 People - $2,650 per person (£1,855)

Can anyone remember the browser extension that people were using when the WM packages went on sale that auto-fills your details so you can get the order submitted as quickly as possible? I remember trying briefly at the time but couldn't get it to work. Fearing these packages might sell out pretty quickly.

Most browsers should already support that.

People on wwe.com's comment section are claiming that the prices WWE listed for the packages are per person, meaning we would pay $1,025 each for 2 people. I don't think WWE has EVER done it that way for packages, that's always the price each for 4 people, and it goes up with less people in your group. People are trying to tell me I'm wrong despite the fact I've bought Mania travel packages 3 times before :lol Unless WWE changed it for Summerslam?

We will see when the packages go on sale, but I hope those people aren't budgeting for that much money, and then they find out it's actually more and they can't afford it. We'll have enough money available anyway, so who cares really.

I've read through those comments, and those people are stupid.

Packages are tomorrow at noon EDT.

Oh I just realised daylight savings has started in the USA, so it means the time they go on sale has changed for me. It's now 5am for the packages for me, not 6am. Better change my alarm to 4:30!!
