WWE Backlash In Puerto Rico Is A 100% Sellout

WWE is rapidly approaching their biggest show of the year, WrestleMania 39, in only a few days in Hollywood. However, the company has already announced its plans for the next premium live event after the showcase of the Immortals, and recent ticket sales numbers indicate that the event might have already been sold out.

The company announced that WWE Backlash will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico on May 6th after the WrestleMania pay-per-view. It will be the first time in so many years that WWE will be hosting a show in Puerto Rico.

Furthermore, the hometown celebrity, Bad Bunny, was also announced as the host of WWE Backlash. Above all, due to the overwhelming response for pre-sale tickets, WWE made the decision to treat its Puerto Rican fans by scheduling the final SmackDown at the same location as Backlash.

However, it seems like that response and recent numbers have indicated massive success for the event. The tickets for WWE Backlash have not been available for many days now, hinting at a sell-out show by WrestleTix. However, the site did list that some tickets for the SmackDown show might still be available.

WWE Backlash in San Juan, PR looks to have sold out as there haven’t been any single or multiple tickets available for this event for many days now. The screenshot below represents a few seats available for the Smackdown map (same map used for Backlash).

It’s unclear if every section is being used on this map – a reader noted to me that he saw seats being sold behind the stage would be which implies they will have a smaller stage to utilize more of the arena. I will wait until I find out more before posting an estimate, but if they used every section, this map has 18,081 seats.

Nothing definitive is up on Stubhub yet for this (on the page for this event, it says the map isn’t complete on Stubhub). Smackdown still has seats left. Unfortunately you can only see the seats available by selecting a quantity of best available so there is no way to tell how many are left yet. Hoping this changes at some point (other maps for this venue show what’s left in its entirety on the map). More to come…

For Puerto Rican fans, who haven’t been actively engaged by WWE lately, this will be a massive event in their hometown with their boy, Bad Bunny as the host. WWE Backlash will take place at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot on May 6th, 2023.
