More on Seating Dynamics For WWE’s Greatest Royal Rumble Event

In a follow-up to a previously reported news item about the seating complications at the upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble Event in Saudi Arabia, the stadium, while having a capacity of 62,000, will be set up for approximately only 52,000 to account for the stage. All the top seats are reserved for families because that is the look that the Saudi government wants and so the only way to get good seats is to be with a family that has to include at least one woman.
Single men, either on their own or in groups, are forced to sit far away and were only allocated approximately 10,000 seats, all of which sold out within an hour or two. This has led to many guys being vocal about not being able to get tickets, even though there are a ton of tickets still left unsold.
There is also speculation that the show won’t come across that “hot” because the people who will make the most noise (single men) are sitting the farthest away. For those wondering why this has to happen, this is a cultural thing in Saudi Arabia where there is limited or no mixing of single males and females, including in restaurants, parks and arenas, so much so that there are even separate entrances and seating areas at these places.

After the complaints and concerns, changes are/were expected to be made since much of the arena remains unsold.
