Whats the craic with the hand wrapping? Do you get a free set of wraps or is it just about getting them wrapped by someone from ufc?

saladtime · 09-10-2015 12:48am

How do these events work?

The Wednesday Meet & Greet is listed as free as is the Thursday Table Quiz.

Yet when you click into them there's no options for tickets.

Do you just show up on the night? Was hoping to go to the quiz night.

Both sold out now unfortunately mate. It's free but you had to get tickets via that link.

One of the events has a hand wrapping station where you can get your hands wrapped by the pros.

Thanks mate.

Gutted

They must have been gone within 15 minutes as I clicked into the link after 7.15.

We were looking to go to the Quiz on the Thursday - if anyone got a ticket for it and it later turns out that they can't attend I'd be majorily thankful if they could PM me. Thanks lads

Almost certain.

danielforde97 · 10-10-2015 1:19am

Anyone know what the story is with the weigh-ins or what fight club benefits will be this year? Also anyone reckon the meet&greet will be strictly tickets-only, e.g if i went into the pub 2 hours before & stayed in would i get away with it?

cruhoortwunk · 10-10-2015 10:19am

Anyone looking for tickets, PM me. I have a few of the €181 ones to offload

deadlybuzzman · 10-10-2015 11:15am

Was anyone in the VIP bar last time around? I might be getting passes for it and I'm curious if there would be anyone of interest in there or if it's just full of corporate types and TV3 wannabes?

You had Forrest Griffin, Cub Swanson and Eddie Gordon in VIP hospitality at the Gibson pre fights at UFC Dublin last year. UFC VIP hospitality tends to be reserved for those purchasing that package (any celebs will likely be entertained else where, well that's how it played out last July)

Mellor · 12-10-2015 6:33am

Ufc have started to include "leg reach" in the stats, starting with this event.

If their Fuzzy SD feed. If you have access to Setanta HD I'd watch it there, thats what I will be taping anyway.

Nope, it's on Setanta Ireland, which is only SD on Sky, not sure about UPC. Not on BT either so the only way to watch in decent quality is Fightpass.

JoeyJJ · 12-10-2015 2:15pm

Oh my mistake. Thats a real pity. I'd still tape Setanta Ireland, not sure what makes 3e look so fuzzy.

danielforde97 · 12-10-2015 3:29pm

does anyone know if fight club members still get any benefits like the q&a last year?

Wrongway1985 · 12-10-2015 4:14pm

They got a poster and early entry for a signing session with guest fighters.

You didn't need fightclub membership to attend the Q & A you needed weigh in tickets you could hang around then after weigh ins for it

Poirier and Pendred (decision in particular) seem a bit on the large side.

Anyone know how Fight Club members go about getting sorted for that this year, or if it's even happening?

Ya I didn't go in very early but collected the poster before weigh ins they asked had I a smart phone which I did and had to show them something after logging into fightclub page they then produced event poster for me but I'm sure you could have this information before heading along.

Exclamation Marc · 12-10-2015 9:25pm

fermanagh_man · 13-10-2015 8:10am

Is there a limit off tickets you can get for weigh in?

He's always at it, Signed posters/gloves etc. to the highest bidder. Most fighters give stuff away for free for a few retweets/follows to raise their profile... which is a smarter play in the long-run you'd assume.

martyos121 · 13-10-2015 12:50pm

So just to be clear, as a FC member, I still have to get tickets in the general sale? I thought FC members were guaranteed access?

Mellor · 13-10-2015 12:55pm

Nope.
Priority entry at certain events, that's it.

There are more FC members than any weigh-in venue could hold.

Ah right, good to know, not going to the Dublin event itself but plan on going up for the Q&A and weigh-ins for the day out. Hopefully I'm lucky enough to get a ticket tomorrow.

CatFromHue · 13-10-2015 1:02pm

I would have thought the UFC wouldn't have been too keen on one of their fighters touting tickets like that.

ItsAnEasyGame · 13-10-2015 1:37pm

LOL Parke.

Paully D · 13-10-2015 1:52pm

How many tickets available tomorrow do we think? Will they open the whole top tier as well as the bottom?

I think there was about 6 thousand last year at it, they blocked off some of the outer upper tier, but the main section of the upper tier was open.
