Rikishi On No Longer Receiving Comp Tickets: You Really Need To Hit The Lottery To Sit Up In The Nosebleeds

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently recapped 2025 as part of his podcast. During the discussion, comp tickets were brought up and the fact that even under a legends contract, the former WWE Tag Team and Intercontinental Champion no longer receives them in the TKO era.

“I don’t know about the ticket prices with TKO because even my family members now, they will usually call me for tickets but it’s too difficult now. There’s a lot of loopholes you have to go through and blah blah blah,” Rikishi said. “Even though I’m not with the company full, I’m still in the legends contract with WWE.”

He continued, “So you know, you would think that family members and friends, close friends, you’d still have those comp tickets, but there is no comp tickets. I can probably try to get them discounted, but I don’t know what’s discounted nowadays. Like a $1000 ticket for a family of five and a man working nine to five through the whole week and the family loves wrestling. It’s very difficult to be able to take a family to events.”

“Back in the day for us man, we had tickets that were $25 or $50. I don’t know, front row seats were $75 or something like that. Now boy, you really need to hit the lottery to sit up in the nosebleeds,” Rikishi added.

Rikishi began his WWE career back in 1992 as part of The Headshrinkers. Now, he’s very vocal about the company, specifically how it relates to their booking of his son, Jey Uso. Either way, his complaints about ticket prices and no comp tickets are valid and he isn’t the first legend to bring up the topic.
