When it comes to professional wrestling, it doesn't get much bigger than WrestleMania, and as the culminating event on the calendar, everything leads to the April 3 show. This year the "biggest" moniker is really going to be pushed to its limits. WrestleMania 32, headlined by The Undertaker & Shane McMahon will be held at the 100,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, meaning it's highly likely the WrestleMania attendance record of 93,174 set during WrestleMania III in 1987 will be broken. Not only will WrestleMania 32 likely be the most attended event in WWE history, it's pacing to have the most expensive tickets on the secondary market.

At the average price of $541.32, WrestleMania 32 tickets are currently the most expensive WWE tickets TiqIQ has tracked on the secondary market since 2010. No other WrestleMania has even eclipsed a $400 average. The previous most expensive WrestleMania was WrestleMania XXIX, which was held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and had an average price of $396.75. Last year's WrestleMania 31 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California had an average price of $326.75. Just two WrestleManias over the past five years have seen an average price below $200: XXVIII at $161.21, and XXX at $159.33.

WrestleMania 32 is also on pace to have the most expensive get-in price TiqIQ has tracked over this time. Again, the previous record was for WrestleMania XXIX at $104, but this year the cheapest listed ticket on the resale market is currently $141. Fans traveling to WrestleMania 32 can find cheap flights to Dallas on Hipmunk.com, as well as cheap hotels in Dallas, which start for as low as $79/night.

With expectations of being the biggest show in the history of the company, WWE has already started to build a card that could be worthy of such an accolade. In the main event WWE World Heavyweight champion Triple H will take on challenger Roman Reigns, the winner of a No. 1 contender triple threat match at WWE's previous pay-per-view, Fastlane. The other two participants from that triple threat match, Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar, will face each other in a street fight. Of course it also wouldn't be WrestleMania without a match featuring The Undertaker, and he'll be taking on Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell match.

In recent years, WWE has transformed WrestleMania into the Super Bowl of professional wrestling. That includes a week's worth of festivities around the host city, such as Axxess events and the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony the night before WrestleMania. One of the most anticipated events of WrestleMania weekend is also the Monday Night RAW. That episode typically has some of the most enthusiastic fans while WWE reflects on WrestleMania the previous night and starts building towards the next one. Tickets for Monday Night RAW are also in high demand for the show at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The current average price is $272.92 with a get-in price of $91.
