UFC 178 Ticket Prices

Papav3r · 29-07-2014 1:41pm #1

Hey guys,

Sorry if this rehashing threads that already exist. I was wondering if anyone knows where to find a seating chart with a breakdown of the different sections and their price breakdown.

Also wondering would around the $300 - $400 range get me close enough to the action. I've read that everywhere in the MGM has a good view and the atmosphere alone would be worth going regardless of what seat you're in but as it'll a one off trip, I don't mind stumping up a little more if the seats would vastly improve.

Thanks for any info.

Seats range from $100 to $1000.

I sat in the $300 seats at UFC 100 at the Mandalay Bay and similar at 116 at the MGM. I'll try to post pics later. Pretty far out, but decent.

The top seats (best ones, not most expensive ones) will be about $750. That's the ones about 10 rows back up the lower tier.

Cheers for the info.

Some photos to try and gauge it would be great.

Epic fight...

Bear in mind, that's a picture with a good zoom.

This shot is the view from my seat...

From memory of those Vegas events, and from experience sitting everywhere from cageside to back row at European events, this image shows which seats will be top price, (all floor and the first 8-10 rows on the side tiers). Also the green X is what I consider the best seating for events and will probably be in the $750 price bracket.

The atmosphere will be good, but you will never experience anything in Vegas like the Dublin event the other week.

Cheers for the photos.

Think 750 might be stretching the budget but the $300 seats don't look too bad.

Not sure what Fight Pass has to do with it, but you don't need a US address to buy tickets. I've been to 2 in Vegas with an Irish address. You'll just need to either print your tickets or collect them at the venue when you get there.

Thanks for that .fight pass allows me to but tickets a day before they release .but it won't allow me to buy them for a u.s. fight !
Did you just go on to the u.s. ticket master site and buy ?

Fight Pass is nothing to do with tickets.

I assume you mean fight Club?

Yes I just bought via Ticketmaster. Used the ticket collection option. You can't get tickets posted out unless you are in the US or Canada.

You need to setup a ticketmaster.com account to buy US event tickets then you choose will call for your shipping and you collect at the box office in the MGM. They won't ship outside US and Canada

Thanks for that

Got 12 of the $141 ones. Had to get three fight club memberships. All in all about $165 a head. Happy days. Can't wait!!

Not sure how the fight club membership works now. I didn't get any email regarding it, and I've the same fight club code attached to each purchase. Has anyone booked tickets and fight club membership at the same time before?

Jaysus you must've been quick! The $141 tickets were gone in a minute of so!

mmapk · 06-08-2014 9:31pm

Just be assured I'm for the official UFC package from Dublin. 1041 Euros all in.

Papav3r · 06-08-2014 9:35pm

Got two of the $402 ones. In the lower bowl about halfway up it would seem.

Fairly happy with it, I was 50/50 about going for the $600 tickets but sanity prevailed.

Can't wait to get over now.

I tried for 6 then 5 but could only get 4. When I got them I chanced my arm again and there was 4 more available. Obviously at the start there is a huge scramble, but depending on timing after that you can pick up the ones other people have rejected it seems

El Guapo! · 06-08-2014 9:47pm

Just to be clear, I hate you all.

Don't want to piss on your parade but ya may have issues with having the same FC Code for each purchase, ticketmaster may flag that when the sales settle down

Edit to say I just read the small print. May have some work to do. I can see that there are still tickets available so will just get one of the lads to do what I did

Picked up some $140 tickets yesterday, section 212 i think. Looking at Dr.Phils photos any seat looks decently really! Flight is booked now to sort out the accom. Think will just do the MGM have the mlife card and all! Will be with some other Irish lads flying in from New York so down for a hook up and drinks if people are!

Jones is out of the fight and Demetrious Johnson vs. Chris Cariaso has been moved from 177 to be the new main event according to MMA Fighting.

Would have taught as much, Cant wait to see how bad this will do at PPV, should have made conor dustin main event and stacked out the main card, would have sold better.

They are refunding tickets because by NSAC law they have to if the main event is scrapped.
