The pit area in the usual concert layout is where the Octagon and floor seating is, so even the cheap seats will have a great view with little if anything to impinge. Certainly much closer than being right up the back at a gig looking at the stage.

Is this ticketmaster newletter or ufc? Sorry now

mooeire · 29-05-2014 1:05pm

Can tickets only be bought online with the newsletter or a ticketmaster outlet as well?

Not sure this answers your question but you get a code by signing up to newsletter to enter on ticketmaster to access presales.

Was thinking that alright, online probably the best bet. I was at the WWE with my young lad last week and the response Seamus got was unbelievable, the roof will come off when Mcgregor comes out!!

dulux99 · 29-05-2014 7:08pm

Anybody have any idea how many tickets I could get with the o2 presale code?

SevereMMA · 31-05-2014 10:56am

Ive heard its 6 tickets per person, not confirmed though

Dana talks UFC Dublin Irish and US tv deals, Gunnar Nelson, Wanderlei/Sonnen situation, eye pokes, Ronda Rousey, and much much more

Richy06 · 31-05-2014 12:07pm

"in negotiations" is good....

dave1982 · 31-05-2014 12:15pm

What did they say bout the broadcasting deal and RTE showing it, Dana said BT have the rights but other fella said they are in negotiations.Reading between the lines here but could we see the card on RTE?

RTE portrayed Conors fight very well on the LLS didn't make it look as barbaric as most would believe MMA is.

Richy06 · 31-05-2014 12:20pm

They were asked if they were in talks with any of the 'national broadcasters', so that's not just RTE. Could any of the RTE or TV3 group channels. I'm guessing they mean free to air, so that'd rule out Setanta.

dave1982 · 31-05-2014 12:25pm

Didn't Chanel 5 pick up a recent UFC, so its doubtful BT or sentanta have exclusive rights

EuskalHerria · 31-05-2014 12:29pm

Setanta/BT wouldn't be happy with that. Would cut into their subscriptions considerably. Also they are advertising it as being exclusively on the setanta pack at the minute.

Richy06 · 31-05-2014 12:30pm

Yup, they put the London main card free to air on C5 in England and then the whole card was on BT.

That_Guy · 31-05-2014 1:53pm

Fox Sports 1 are supposedly interested in showing the card too. Could get a lot of exposure domestically and internationally despite it being advertised on the Fight Pass platform initially.

Richy06 · 31-05-2014 2:14pm

People want to see the fight because they either love or hate Conor. Not surprised Fox want the card. But from an Irish POV, if it's on national TV you'll have plenty of casual interest with parents turned on kids who're into it trying to figure out what it's all about as well as the naysayers who say it's savagery. If it's promoted right and people are aware of it. Obviously all the hardcores will be either there or watching it in pubs or mates or at home. Whatever your poison, could mean pretty good ratings.

Not entirely true, C5 was all over the place, didn't show the whole main card, and if RTE picked it up i think it would be very similar, Just the 2 Co-mains and a splattering of highlights, here's my post of when i watched it on C5

scudzilla wrote: »

Watched last nights event on Channel 5, it was odd to say the least.

Started at 21:00 with Guillard/Johnson, the Gustaf/Manuwa then they went to the Picket/Seary fight, which they started in the 2nd rd?????

In between fights some bozo was talking to Forrest, who just sounded punch drunk.

Disgrace howw Gustaf/Manuwa got FoTN, that was Seary/Pickett in my eyes, and i only seen 2 rounds

Richy06 · 31-05-2014 9:00pm

I stand corrected! Hopefully it's the main card, because there could be many of Irish interest so it'd be very cool to see. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Will Bruce Buffer be at UFC dublin or will it be someone else?

It'll be the 'B' team

that brit fella as ring announcer, Hardy doing the commentary and inetrviews in the cage, all the UK based refs (Leon, Goddard etc)

buffer makes the UFC

Personally i think he is a **** but he adds so much to the event

Davei141 · 02-06-2014 8:40am

Buffer makes nothing. Seeing him every week has left me very meh about his announcements. I actually prefer the European/fight pass team, much less bull and flash. Hardy is doing a great job too.

IrishSkyBoxer · 02-06-2014 9:32am

I'm just going to get fifty euro ticket if I can. This is a below average card at best, can't believe people are willing to pay such silly money just when they see 'ufc'. A fool and his money are soon parted I suppose. It's worse seeing the knowledgeable mma fans being suckered, at least the casual fan has no idea he is being sold snake oil.

Davei141 · 02-06-2014 11:49am

I am going for the €50 tickets too. If it was a very good card i probably would have splashed out though.

Why does it make any difference to you what people spend their money on? The self righteousness is overbearing in your post.

I'm warming to that European team now. Think Hardy and that Gooden fella are actually quite good. They got a lot of stick through social media when they were calling the UK card recently but I think they did ok.

Really? Over all the different fighters, different styles of fighting, different backrounds and gameplans.....but the ring announcer makes it for you?

CRAZY!

I remember the abuse they got at the start on here too. People just wanted to have a pop for whatever reason but i always enjoyed the change.

Lenin Skynard · 02-06-2014 1:24pm

Have to say I much prefer Gooden and Hardy over Anik, Friedlander sounds like he's announcing for a darts game but the ring announcer makes no odds really.

The two fightpass cards I've seen (Berlin and London) have been excellent and Dublin has arguably a better lineup than both. I think this new system gives the UFC much more freedom to host events over here in Europe which can only be a good thing for Irish prospects.

Don't mind Anik myself but I do enjoy listening to Florian/Hardy. Great insight from both.

Can't stand Anik but agree with the bold. Bas Rutten and Florian for the win!

rolexeagle1 · 03-06-2014 9:22am

has anyone received a code for the UFC Newsletter to get the tickets on Thursday??

MarkJD · 03-06-2014 12:49pm

^ wondering the same myself. Presume you just need to sign up to the UFC Fight Club - Free option? Anything else needed?

Wrongway1985 · 03-06-2014 1:26pm

Recieved my presale email from fight club anyway.

MarkJD · 03-06-2014 1:36pm

Are you a premium fight club member? You buying yours tomorrow or your code for Thursday?

PauloConn · 03-06-2014 1:48pm

Can't wait to get the best seats i can afford

EuskalHerria · 03-06-2014 3:30pm

I'm still confused as to what tickets I'm aiming to get. Part of me is saying its not often they are in town, so go for the €175. Another part of me is taking the advice of those who mentioned higher tier seats were actually more beneficial the last time. In conclusion, can someone decide for me.

Personally I'd go mid range at €125. You get closer than the cheapest but you're more 'tiered' so would get a better vantage point. The ringside/floor seats are great unless you're up close, but they may have other benefits (closer to fighters, VIPs walking around etc etc etc etc...)

See the reason I'm tempted by the 175 tickets is due to cashback, I'll get them for 130. My main concern is about the view of the fights and I'm hoping if I go for those, that I won't have a load of cameras, crew etc blocking the way. or that it will be as good as some of the pics that were posted the last day. At this rate I'll just see how it goes Thursday morning.

I can see the UFC wanting to come back here more regularly if they can get a sell out with very little promotional effort needed. People here mentioned the fight night in Berlin didn't sell too well. Dublin could certainly become a more regular destination if it sells as well as expected.

Weshtlad · 03-06-2014 9:05pm

Hey Guys does anyone know if the fight club tickets are the €100 euro and up; excluding the €50 tickets and if I join the fight club tonight will I still get the presale code by tomorrow?

@EuskalHerria How would you get cashback?

Cheers!
