Awesome! So are top tier tickets sold on Ticketmaster? I need to buy a replica belt now to get signed! Are there WWE shirts etc for sale in all sizes as well? I believe that ticketmaster is in fact the only place to buy tickets. General Admission tickets might be available at the boxoffice as well but I am not sure. If you want to pay a lot of extra money to get a VIP ticket after they sell out, check out stubhub.com. Additionally, if anyone here wants to find great last minute deals, stubhub might work out for you! I saw Wrestlemania tickets on there that cost hundreds going for ~$100 (plus fees). I'm sure the same goes for other events. As for merch? They have a good amount of it there and I'm sure its in all the normal sizes as on wweshop.com. They will also have exclusive Wrestlemania shirts, jerseys, and other swag. Wrestlemania will have the same deal. At SunLife Stadium, they had several tents and an entire store inside dedicated to merch.

I went to Axxess this past year & had a great time. I was all about the autographs when I went, so I didnt check out every little thing. I know pretty much everything has been answered already, but some things I"d recommend:
-Get there early! There will be hundreds of people there for each session. When they open up for your session people spread out everywhere. Chances are, no superstars will be assigned to a specific booth. You can walk around & wait to see who goes where (while people are already forming lines) or just jump into one right away & hope for the best. I did this & met Brodus Clay & his dancers. But because I jumped in the line right away I was near the front.
-Sessions last for 4 hours, but superstar signings are usually only 2 hours. Then they switch up. If you see someone you really want to meet, take that into consideration.
-If you are wanting to buy merchandise, buy it at the first session you attend. I waited until Sunday morning to buy souvenirs & they were out of a lot of stuff. I know I said earlier I saw very few figures for sale. I didn't check any merchandise until Sunday, so that might be why.
-There might be signings in odd places besides the usual autograph booths. Paul Bearer was located in the Undertaker's Graveyard & taking photos. There was also a section/room of Superstars ring worn gear & Dusty Rhodes & Harley Race were in there signing. I was pretty upset for missing that one.
-The VIP tickets will sell out fast. If you want one, I would absolutely be logged in on Ticketmaster the second they go on sale. They sold out of all of them (minus Foley, Show, & Sheamus) on day one, but they were completely gone by the end of the weekend.
- Have your stuff ready to be signed even before you get on the podium. If you don't it slows everything down, meaning people might not get an autograph. I was in a line to meet Ziggler & Vickie & people were horrible with this. Dolph felt bad so he stopped the session for a second & talked to the large group & asked them to have everything ready because people before them were slowing things down.
Don't be afraid to decide last minute to attend a session you weren't planning on attending. I drove over to the convention center early Sunday morning & bought a ticket for the Sunday morning session. They won't sellout the GA tickets.
-If you decide not to buy a ticket to a VIP session, you will still be able to see them from a distance
-You don't have to pay any extra to do the UT's graveyard or participate in the Q&A's so take advantage of that.
If anyone has any other questions feel free to ask me. This stuff is still pretty fresh on my mind.

Thanks for all that info. Im really only interested in getting autographs. The rest of the sideshow stuff doesnt really interest me. So with the VIP do I get an autograph and photo for each VIP ticket? Does someone official take the photo or do I need someone to do that? At the Axxess you went to did all the top tier stars do signings? Because of HoF do you think they will all sign also?
I can think of nothing better than meeting Punk and getting a photo with him!!!

They will release a schedule of who's signing. They never sell out of GA tix. I've gone to the last 7 Manias in a row. Top top guys require VIP ticket and you can hand your cam to their staff and they'll shoot for you. You get one auto and one pic from each superstar you get in line for.
Sometimes it's pic only or auto only. Yes, some HOF will sign but not necessarily the ones inducted this year. Punk will require a VIP ticket which is usually $100+.

If you buy a VIP ticket will you still need to get a general admission ticket for the mid card superstars and other activitys?

At the Axxess you went to did all the top tier stars do signings? Because of HoF do you think they will all sign also? I can think of nothing better than meeting Punk and getting a photo with him!!! Yes you get 1 photo & 1 autograph with the VIP ticket. Punk was a VIP guy last year & will be again this year. They will have workers there keeping everything running smoothly & will take a photo for you. Just have your camera on & ready so all they have to do is press a button. I'm assuming they will have a session during the HOF because they had one in Miami. I think the VIP star was Foley. Don't expect a lot of top talent to be there, since they will be at the ceremony. But on the flip side, so will a lot of fans, so there might be shorter lines. I went to 3 Axxess sessions & the talent varied for each. I didn't buy any VIP tickets so I was meeting some of the lower tier guys. Daniel Bryan (despite being WHC) was one of them. But Ziggler was a big want for me & I met him. REMEMBER THIS! As far as the non VIPs, some of the advertised names weren't there. I really wanted to meet Drew McIntyre & attended 2 session's he was advertised for, but didn't have a signing. Instead he had a live match during one session. On the flip side, there were multiple people who weren't advertised for the sessions that were there. An example is where the Usos were there, but surprisingly Rikishi was there with them. Over the 3 sessions I attended (10 hours, I missed 2 hours of one session) I met: Dolph Ziggler Jack Swagger Vickie Guerrero Daniel Bryan Rikishi Jay Uso Jimmy Uso Epico Primo Rosa Mendes Jerry Brisco Superfly Jimmy Snuka Hacksaw Jim Duggan Rocky Johnson Brodus Clay Cameron Naomi Alberto Del Rio Ricardo Rodriquez Wade Barrett Ted Dibiase Jr. Of all of those names, 14 of them weren't advertised. I'm glad I saved my money & didn't get any of the VIPs this time around. Shawn Michaels did a free signing in my area over the summer & had him sign my WM28 poster (same thing everyone else signed.) Plus Sheamus & Edge will be in my area in March at a World of Wheels show. To meet those 3 guys at Axxess it would have cost me well over $300 after all the fees. In the end it will only cost me about $30.

But waiting in the VIP line eats up a lot of your time. Meeting HBK took me 2 hours last year, so that was half the session. You do get to walk right into stuff like the Undertaker's graveyard. So if there is a line for stuff like that then you get to skip it with your VIP ticket.
