European WWE fans get their first chance to get tickets for France's premium live event as presale combo tickets for WWE Backlash, which is set to take place on May 4 in Lyon-Decines, go on sale today (Wednesday, January 10).
Hot on the heels of WWE pay per view events in London, Montreal and a forthcoming trip to Australia, WWE is building on its huge current momentum and record-breaking gates from their international fanbase with its latest PPV event in a major European city.
The promotion is set to take over the LDLC Arena for Backlash France, with UK fans able to book the first tickets for the event today (Wednesday, January 10) at 9am UK time via Ticketmaster here. The venue will also be playing host to WWE Smackdown live on the Friday night and, as with London's Money in the Bank event in the summer, fans can book combo tickets for both nights of the wrestling extravaganza.
Meanwhile, tickets are already on sale for Bash in Berlin in Germany in August as well as Elimination Chamber: Perth next month, where Aussies Rhea Ripley and Grayson Waller can be expected to get a vociferous welcome.
While we've got plenty of live events in the months between now and May, the poster already released for the event gives fans a hint of what to expect.

Top tips on snagging Backlash France tickets from the UK
With every international pay per view WWE holds bringing in a record-breaking audience and huge interest from fans, we're expecting fan interest in Backlash in France to be huge. To make sure you have the biggest chance of snagging those all important tickets remember to:
Start early. No earlier than that - we know Backlash is going to be hugely popular, so make sure to log on with plenty of time before the tickets go on sale. For high profile events Ticketmaster tends to run virtual waiting rooms to try and manage server strain. It's worth checking the page at 15 minute intervals in the run up to the on sale date , so say check at 8.15am, 8.30am and 8.45am just in case the virtual queue opens early.
Use multiple devices - You can log onto Ticketmaster and join the queue on more than one device. So once the queue opens you can keep your options open as to whatever device is further ahead. This is particularly useful if you're on a Wi-Fi connection which might be unreliable, open a page on your phone on 4G as well as a laptop/tablet/other device on Wi-Fi and you're covered no matter what. Also, add your email address if you're given the option to - if you're disconnected you'll be able to get back into your place in the queue.
Make your account or log in ahead of time - Once you've got those all-important tickets in your basket the clock literally starts ticking and if you don't check out in time they'll be released back into the wild for someone else to nab. Log in or set up your new account beforehand and make sure your payment method is sorted so there's no stress when it's time to pay.
