Production

Tickets for WrestleMania XXV were originally scheduled to go on sale September 20, 2008, but was postponed out of concern for the residents near the Gulf of Mexico due to Hurricane Ike and the disaster area declaration by Texas Governor Rick Perry. Following another postponement due to the effect of Ike on the state of Texas, WWE announced that ticket sales would be postponed until November 8, 2008. As of November 9, 2008, ticket sales exceeded US$4.8 million, which include people from all 50 U.S. states, 24 countries, and 7 Canadian provinces.

Background

WrestleMania will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that will be played out on Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, and ECW on Sci Fi—World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) primary television programs. Wrestlers will portray a villain or a hero as they follow a series of events that build tension, and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches. All wrestlers will be from WWE’s Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands—a storyline division in which WWE employees are assigned to a television program of the same name.
