WWE has officially announced that individual tickets for two major upcoming events—Friday Night SmackDown on October 31 and Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1—will go on sale Tuesday, September 16, starting at 10 a.m. MST. Both events are scheduled to take place at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, with presale access already underway for fans eager to secure their seats early[1][2][3].

This announcement marks the continuation of WWE’s growing relationship with the Utah Sports Commission and Smith Entertainment Group, who earlier this year announced a multi-event agreement that will see several high-profile WWE and UFC events hosted at the Delta Center through 2026[1][2]. This partnership signals WWE’s ongoing commitment to expanding live event experiences in key regional markets.

Presale and Official Packages Available Now

While general ticket sales open tomorrow via SeatGeek (seatgeek.com), fans have already been able to access presale tickets since Monday, September 15 at 10 a.m. MST, allowing early access for WWE Universe members and select partners[1][2].

For those looking for a premium live experience, Official Saturday Night’s Main Event Passes are currently available via WWE’s exclusive hospitality partner, On Location Experiences. These packages provide fans with premium ringside seats, all-inclusive pre-show hospitality, exclusive WWE superstar meet-and-greet opportunities, and ringside photo sessions. These VIP packages offer a unique, immersive way for fans to experience WWE’s biggest moments in Salt Lake City. Tickets and passes for these luxurious experiences can be purchased now at onlocationexp.com/SLC[1][2][3].

Match Cards and Talent Anticipated

While WWE has yet to reveal the specific match cards for SmackDown on October 31 or Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1, insiders speculate that the shows will feature top-tier talent, reflective of WWE’s evolving storylines heading into the year-end months. According to sources close to WWE, the Salt Lake City events are poised to showcase some of the company’s premiere superstars, including potential title defenses and storyline culminations designed to electrify the live audience[3].

Fans on Fightful and other wrestling news outlets have been buzzing about the possibility of returning fan-favorites and rising stars making key appearances during these events, adding further anticipation around these live shows[3].

Delta Center: A Growing Hub for WWE Events

The Delta Center, long recognized as a premier venue in Salt Lake City, now serves as a vital stop on WWE’s national touring schedule. Hosting both SmackDown and Saturday Night’s Main Event back-to-back establishes Salt Lake City as a destination for major wrestling events, providing fans in the region easier access to live WWE action without traveling to larger metropolitan areas.

Sources familiar with WWE’s booking strategy have highlighted that expanding into cities like Salt Lake City is part of WWE and TKO Group Holdings’ broader plan to enhance the live event portfolio, especially in growing markets with passionate fan bases[1][2].

How to Get Your Tickets

  • General Public On-Sale: Tuesday, September 16 at 10 a.m. MST via SeatGeek (seatgeek.com)
  • Presale Access: Began Monday, September 15 at 10 a.m. MST, ending late at night
  • VIP Packages: Available now via On Location (onlocationexp.com/SLC)

Fans are encouraged to act promptly given the expected demand and limited seating availability. Tickets range widely in price depending on proximity to the ring and the selected experience, from general admission to premium hospitality packages[1][2][4].

What Industry Insiders Are Saying

According to a WWE insider speaking anonymously to Fightful, “The trust WWE has built within regional markets like Salt Lake City is paying off. The Friday Night SmackDown and Saturday Night’s Main Event shows in the Delta Center are expected to sell out quickly, especially given the historic booking plans and upgraded fan experiences being planned.” This sentiment echoes the growing enthusiasm seen in recent WWE live event expansions.

Moreover, podcasts such as “WrestleTalk” and “The Heel Hook Podcast” have mentioned that these Salt Lake City shows will likely serve as pivotal events to set up WWE’s upcoming Survivor Series in November, hinting at possible surprise returns and storyline twists that live audiences will experience firsthand.

Upcoming WWE Live Events in Context

These Salt Lake City events join a robust 2025 WWE live event calendar that includes stops in major cities like Indianapolis, Toledo, and Springfield. Each event offers something unique, but the dual-night spectacle at the Delta Center is shaping up to be one of the year’s most memorable live gatherings[5].

This event series solidifies WWE’s strategy under TKO Group Holdings to not only prioritize televised content but also substantially invest in live event revenues and fan engagement opportunities[1][2].


For fans ready to secure their seats and experience WWE like never before in Utah, September 16 at 10 a.m. MST is the date to remember. Whether aiming for general admission or an all-inclusive ringside package, the upcoming SmackDown and Saturday Night’s Main Event at the Delta Center promise unforgettable excitement.
