Found this site about a month back, i think its a great idea to have a blog for the months leading up to mania 22 and i am going officially. I am in the UK and attended summerslam in DC in August, and i'll be going back to the states in april with my dad (im 18 btw) for a trip to Chicago and to enjoy the wrestlemania weekend.
We have purchased two silver travel packages, application deadline was september 16th and we only got it confirmed in the 15th!
In the package you get (and we have two of these remember):
-Ticket to the private midday madness meet and greet session (midday saturday)
- Exclusive Wrestlemania 22 souvenirs
- 3 nights hotel accomodation in Chicago
- ticket to the Hall of Fame ceremony (saturday night)
- Ticket to the bagels, bacon and biceps brunch featuring Q and A session with the superstars (Sunday midday)
- Top central lower tier ticket to wrestlemania 22.
I have heard that raw the next night is going to be at the allstate arena also so i'll pick up tickets for that as well when they go on sale, since we'll be in Chi-Town until wed or thurs.
Cant wait! Im planning to take about 2 hours of film footage which i will then condense into a 45 minute movie featuring footage from the entire mania weekend, which should be really cool-i'll upload it when i get back for everyone to enjoy.

Sounds awesome
If you need any help with planning your trip to Chicago let me know, Ive lived here my whole life so Ive got the area down pretty well
Cant wait to see the video, Ill be doing the same myself of the entire Wrestlemania weekend, and I should have pics of when tickets go on sale at the Allstate, depending if I go through the box office or the presale

That's awesome!
I plan on going to as many WrestleMania 22-related events as I can. My main priorities are the HOF induction ceremony, WM22 itself, and the RAW after WM22. However, there have yet to be any announced on-sale dates for the HOF ceremony or the 4/3/2006 RAW.
I'm 19. I'm also willing to help you with any info I can provide. I just hope you enjoy the return of WrestleMania to Chicago!

thanks guys. Any information on Chicago would be great. I was tthere the summer before last but only as a one night stop over to break up flights. I did get to go to the house of blues and do a boat tour which were both cool.
Im going to make sure i get some tickets to a music event at house of blues whilst im there. I know they held the videogames contest with the wrestlers there in LA for mania 21 but that was like wed/thurs and we wont be arriving in chicago until friday-then staying until about thursday the next week. Still, id much rather go to raw the next night than get there earlier!!
Id appreciate advice for Chicago on any worthwile places to go to and also good places to shop/eat/relax in the central area. Any advice is much appreciated. I cant wait.
Ive got raw and smackdown in the UK to look forward to in november in the maintime though. Were getting the raw and sd before survivor series which should be great. Summerslam was amazing-first proper PPV ive ever been to (and my first event in the USA) but wrestlemania is just a different animal altogether, im counting the days already!

Hey, im the guy at the top with the travel packages-i think your best bet for tickets is the internet presale on ticketmaster.com. The general onsale date is the 15th of october but the presale is the day before on the 14th according to the wrestling observer newsletter.
I went to summerslam in august, travelled from the UK and used ticketmaster to purchase tickets. I would recommend to you that you should get a login and password at ticketmaster.com NOW (not.co.uk remember, you want the.com american version) as this way you can store you login/password/adress/card info so that when you buy tickets you can go straight to purchasing them which can save you valuable minutes which could be the difference between getting tickets or not.
The presale should start at 10am eastern as thats when they usually begin, and thats equates to 3pm uk time, so be on at 2:55pm and keep refreshing on the wrestlemania tickets page (its not up yet but should be in a few days, just search for wwe at the top of scroll down the list of events until you find wrestlemania) until they go on sale, then be quick!
Another recommendation would be to register with ticketmaster then practice buying tickets and filling out the necessary info as quick as you can, in preparation for the rush to get the tickets. All these little thing help.
Hope thats useful and i hope you get tickets! Its going to be off the chart!
