List of WWE attendance records
The following is a list of the largest attendances in the history of the American professional wrestling promotion WWE.
The list is dominated by the WWE's flagship WrestleMania pay-per-view (PPV) event, which since 2007's WrestleMania 23 has been held exclusively in stadiums that typically have a normal seating capacity of around 70,000 people. Only ten of the attendances listed are non-WrestleMania events, with The Big Event and the Global Warning Tour being the only house show events on the list. All but ten of the events have been held in the United States where the WWE is based, while three have been held in Canada, three in Japan, two in Australia, one in the United Kingdom, and one in Saudi Arabia.

The attendance as would be normally announced for an event was 93,730 people, breaking the WWE’s all-time total attendance (paid plus comps) record of 79,127 set at the 1992 SummerSlam show at Wembley Stadium, which barely beat out the 1987 WrestleMania III show which did more than 78,000. The actual number in the building was 97,769. ... the company had pushed the idea from the start of drawing 100,000 people (pretty much insuring they would have to announce a number over that or it would be a disappointment to the fans) ... The WWE announced the number at 101,763, which is the mythical number “for entertainment purposes” as Vince McMahon told me about the difference between real numbers and announced numbers years ago.
