UPDATE: According to Variety, preliminary numbers estimate that WrestleMania 29 will reach around 1.2 million. They also report that the event will be the highest-grossing "WrestleMania" ever for WWE, earning over $72 million. An announcement from WWE is expected today.
------------------------
ORIGINAL: While the WWE has not made an official announcement yet, former WWE Creative Team Member Court Bauer posted the following on Twitter today, regarding the WrestleMania 29 buyrate…
This just in: WrestleMania 29 did 1.2 million worldwide. That’s less than the 1.3 for WrestleMania 28 in Miami.
WWE will report its 2013 first quarter results on Thursday May 2, 2013, and will likely share information on the buyrate at that time.

The figure released by WWE about WrestleMania 29 generating around $72 million, an increase of $5 million from WrestleMania 28 last year, means WrestleMania has gone from a show averaging $20-$25 million to around $40 million only a few years. Of the $67 million that Wrestlemania 28 generated last year, WWE itself took in around $36.2 million.
WWE stated that WrestleMania 29 this year was expected to exceed 1 million buys. While it isn't expected to beat the record still held by WrestleMania 23, a key official in WWE was claiming that the show drew around 750,000 buys in North America putting it slightly above last year. A preliminary number is scheduled to be released by WWE in late May.
