Tickets from provider AXS currently start at £324.25 per person in sections 8-10 whilst a section behind the commentary desk is priced at £511 per person.
Ringside seats start at £511 per person, but a number of sections are now sold out.
Sections include blocks 2, 4, 13 and 15, meaning wrestling fans may have to act fast before Raw is sold-out.
Kelli Coleman said: “Prices are disgusting for Birmingham.”
Michael Callow added: “The prices of the tickets are ridiculous, shouldn’t be £300 tickets.
“For most people that’s a lot of money for one evening of entertainment.
“WWE create a good product but it’s hard to support going shows like that if most people are outpriced.”
Richard Simpson commented: “As much as I’d love to go see Raw live, I can’t warrant the price the tickets are.
“So instead going to Leeds for an arena tour.”
Chris Treanor-Smith posted: “Tickets prices are disgusting. No thanks.”
And Danielle Reanne added: “Gutted, prices per ticket started from £229. My little boy has been begging to go, extortionate.”
However, a number of WWE fans shared their own thoughts online, expressing excitement for what’s ahead this summer.
Donna Ford said: “My teenagers are so excited.”
Adam Walsh commented: “Hoping to go to my first Monday Night Raw.”
And Simon Bull posted: “If you’d gone to any of their other events in the past 6 months, you’d know what to expect pricewise.”
