Machida Vs. Shogun 2 Ticket cost???

Spudz · 02-09-2010, 07:42 PM

Never been to a UFC before, and they are bringing it to me! I live about 1.5 hours away from Montreal.

Anyway.... What kind of tickets are available for these events? What is the cost difference between "Nose bleed" and "Ring side" tickets? Any info you got would be great. Thanks for your time

Found this, prices for ufc 97, they are close to what ufc 83 were, so if they have gone up this year I would not imagine by much.

"Tickets for UFC 97 will go on sale Saturday, February 14 at noon ET and will be priced at $550, $400, $225, $150, $100 and $50."

550 is for all floors, and the first part of the 100's, 400 for 2nd half of 100's, and then so on, up to the 400 section.

I know its not very detailed, but its the best info you will get for a while, unless you can talk to someone at the bell centre, even then, they don't know much for they go on sale.

I had floor seats for the last two events, and know that they as well as the reds or sections 100's cost 550. If you can afford it, but can't get floor seats in the first 5-8 rows, get seats in the red, as centered as possible.

For anyone who doesn't know what "section 100, 200, and so" on means, its the seating at the bell centre for hockey games. Pic is showen below. Obviously the ice surface is where the floor seating will be, with the cage at centre ice.

Uggh, didn't think it would be put on sale this early, what site can you buy tickets from, other then the 100$ for the UFC membership.

if your going, just go for the experience... don't expect to enjoy the fights too much unless you can get down on the floor (which is HIGHLY unlikely). Last UFC I went to taht I actually ENJOYED was about 4 years ago and we paid close to $700 EACH for floor seats, 10th row (sat next to Leben).

i agree, you can see much more if you just watch it at home, but it is awesome to be there live.. the tickets are gonna be outrageous for that fight, thousands i bet. but i think its gonna be an awesome fight. at 103 the weigh ins and meet and greet were just as good as the fights. Nogueira, Swick, Rosholt, and Fitch were there signing autographs. pretty cool, good luck man

you don't need have floor seats to enjoy the fights...

I went to see gsp vs bj at ufc 94 and i paid 300$ american for seats where i was basically at the top of the lower bowl and they were great seats. I could see everything perfect

This, like i said if you can't get floor seats that are in the at least first 10 rows, go up off the floor.

I had as much fun going to bars, meet and greets, taking in some sights, and getting pix and autographs then i did at the actual fights.
