*UFC Fight Club* Is it worth it? *pics*

BEER-RUN · 01-29-2008, 07:11 PM

I will be going to my first UFC event soon, and I was told I should look at becoming a member of the UFC Fight Club because of their exclusive Access at PPV Events.

Anyone here a member or can give me an insight if it's worth the $74.99?

Here is some Ring gals for your trouble.

Thanks-

Shit, nobody?

From what I have heard Beer-Run it is really not worth the money. But that was like a year ago so maybe it is better now.

This thread is the reason alone I come to Sherdog.

If you're going to the event it might well be worth it. I think they get into the ring before the fights and also they have a VIP party the day of the weighins and possibly the day of the fight, with fighter guests.

Don't take this as gospel but I think it's right.

Yeah I paid for it when I found out the UFC was coming to my hometown. The pre-presale tix available weren't any better than the tix you can normally get. The only redeeming factor was that you can sign up for a spot to go to the weigh-ins and a private autograph session. This may or may not be worth 75 dollars to you though.

I'm contemplating on whether or not to sign up myself..

I hear the only good reason to join is for the pre sale tickets....i'd be curious to check out the members forums though...

Hahaha I have no clue about the Fight Club but I like the fact that you put up picks of chicks. That should be a new rule anytime someones gotta ask a question they have to put up pics. The stupider the question the hotter the chick

Usually the only time you will luck out and get cheap seats is if somebody's credit card is declined but you pretty much have to be on ticketmaster at the perfect time.

Obviously I'm just basing this on past events that I've looked into. I haven't gone to an event myself (Vegas is too far and I'm too poor)...but I would still try to see what kind of tix I could get during a pre-sale and each time this seemed to be the case (the cheap seats going super fast).

If cheap seats are what you are looking for...honestly get the FC membership...it's $75 or so and you'll save well over a hundred doing the pre-sale itself.

Just my opinion though...if I'm incorrect and you manage good seats with the gen pop sale then plz don't hold it against me...just telling you what I've seen/experienced.

With the pre-sale tix a fight club member can buy up to 8 (or 10 I can't remember but 8 for sure) tix with one transaction. I don't know if you are allowed multiple transactions but I know that you get booted from the FC if you give out the pre-sale code to a non-member.

The exclusive access is 3 things really. #1 You get a different line for the autograph session (first people to go). #2 The weigh-ins are right after the autograph session, and you get in first for that as well...it's general seating so you obviously get closer then the general public. #3 Which is the biggest perk, you get a meet and greet inside the octagon after the weigh-ins with anywhere between 5 to 15 fighters (depends on who is there) and Dana White (if you care). This in itself was worth the 75 dollars I spent...I went to the weigh-ins for UFC 68.

The last is just a disclaimer in case they are in a venue which holds less tix then there are members and the venue sells out (more for a casino then an arena like the Bell Centre).
So if the event is sold out during the pre-sale and you are a member you aren't guaranteed to get a ticket...it's still first come first serve in a sense.

Honestly the meet and greet was great if you are a fan....at 68 I got to meet and get pics with Dana, Hermes Franca, Mike Swick, Jorge Gurgel, Eddie Sanchez, Rogan, and others that I'm forgetting at the moment...Chuck Liddell and Sean Sherk were suppose to also be at the meet and greet but they were snowed in in Minnesota so it wasn't just the "less popular" fighters that are involved...it just depends on who is fighting and who is there. Unfortunately as a huge GSP fan this means I won't see him at the meet and greet but oh well I guess.

I hope that answers the questions some might have, but feel free to ask anymore and I'll give you an honest answer.
