— Promotion for the Greatest Royal Rumble has reportedly been “lackluster” and it is being said that the only people who know about the show in Saudi Arabia are the hardcore wrestling fans.

— The Saudi General Sports Authority is responsible for finding a way to fill the stadium and it is likely that they will be able to do that through either extremely low ticket prices or by giving away seats for free.

— The government is taking the hit for almost all the costs associated to the event and most tickets are priced at either $2.67 USD or $5.34 USD. There are significantly more expensive tickets for around $80 that includes free drinks, but those seats are in the VIP section are reserved for the Sports Authority and their celebrity friends, which in a way makes them free too as those people won’t be paying for them.
