Vintage WWF and WWE Ticket Stubs: A Collector's Guide

The Growing Market for Wrestling Ticket Stubs

Professional wrestling ticket stubs have emerged as one of the hottest segments of the sports memorabilia market. Fueled by nostalgia for the Golden Era and Attitude Era, plus the enduring popularity of wrestling as entertainment, vintage wrestling stubs are commanding increasingly impressive prices.

The Most Collectible Wrestling Stubs

WrestleMania

WrestleMania ticket stubs are the most sought-after wrestling collectibles, period. The first WrestleMania (1985) at Madison Square Garden is the holy grail, with stubs commanding premium prices. WrestleMania III (the Hogan-Andre match at the Pontiac Silverdome) is another top collectible. Generally, WrestleMania I through X carry the highest values, with each subsequent event still maintaining strong collector interest.

Attitude Era Events

The late 1990s Attitude Era was wrestling's commercial peak, and event stubs from this period are extremely popular with collectors who grew up watching Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mankind, and D-Generation X. Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series stubs from 1997-2002 are particularly collectible.

WCW Events

With WCW no longer in existence, stubs from World Championship Wrestling events are becoming increasingly scarce and valuable. Starrcade stubs, Monday Nitro stubs, and Bash at the Beach stubs (especially the 1996 event where Hulk Hogan turned heel to form the nWo) are among the most sought-after.

ECW Events

Extreme Championship Wrestling had a devoted cult following and operated in relatively small venues, making ECW ticket stubs genuinely rare. Any ECW event stub has collector value, with pay-per-view event stubs being especially prized.

Why Wrestling Stubs Are Appreciating

Several factors are driving the appreciation of wrestling ticket stubs. The generation that grew up watching wrestling in the 1980s and 1990s is now in their peak earning years and buying nostalgia. Wrestling content is more accessible than ever through streaming, keeping interest alive. And the supply of vintage stubs is fixed and shrinking as pieces are lost to time.
