    Just wondering is anyone else going to the Newark card. Flights and hotel €530 go out Wednesday coming back Sunday. Hotel is the Hilton two blocks away from the Arena.

    how much are the tickets costing?


  • Registered Users Posts: 767 ✭✭✭Odats


    I presume they start at $100 and go up to $1000. So would probably go for $300 ones thats how much I paid for the Vegas ones for UFC 100. Also to note thet you have to collect tickets at box office in US as Ticketmaster don't ship outside US & Canada for events there.

    Newark is a kip btw, your better off staying in New York.

    Is there much hassle in getting tickets for the big UFC shows? Im thinking of Shogun / Machida 2 in Montreal

  • Registered Users Posts: 825 ✭✭✭CFC007


    I think I need to be at this! Any excuse for a few days in New York. Would anybody have a fightclub presale code that they wouldnt be using for this event? Tickets are on sale this Thursday

    Just seen that BJ Penn wanted to fight at this as well!!!!! God that would of made it an unbelievable card.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 767 ✭✭✭Odats


    Tickets going on sale tomorrow at 3pm our time 10am in the US Eastern time for fightclub members price starts at $56 for the nosebleads to octagon side at $603 so decent seat talking $175-$250. Flights to New York at the mo are €397 return incl T&C's.
    Cannot turn it down two title albeit one interim plus rumoured Fitch vs Alves but wouldn't be suprised if it is Semtex but they might save him for a UK card next.

    Has anyone ever got cage side seats? Not sure wether to get them or go for the 250 ones??


  • Registered Users Posts: 16 SpiceLMF


    Anyone else have a Fight Club pre-sale code? I'm a New Yorker living in Dublin. Going to bring my boyfriend home to NY and we were hoping to get tickets. Any help is appreciated!

    I'd get the cheaper ones myself
    I was a few rows back from the cage in dublin
    but i found it was easier to watch it on the big
    screen as the top of the cage was restricting my
    view slightly

    Same thing happened with me in Dublin never again would I fork out for cageside just not worth it view wise. Best ones to get are the slightly mid tier ones best view in my opinion as not too far up and not too far down.

    Living in New York and pass the venue everyday on my way to work, so im def going to get to this one.

    the presale code would be ideal if anyone could forward it on, if not 10am saturday morning il be logging on.

    So from what i read you guys reckon tickets ranging from 150-200 dollars are the way to go?

    I was able to print out tickets on an A4 printer for a Vegas UFC and avoided the box office. That was a year and a half ago so maybe its changed.

    Its worth joining if you are going to be going to more than one event and you can split the cost with mates. You get better (closer) seats to the front of whatever section you will be sitting in. You also get you + 1 guest pass to Q&A sessions before the fights. Oh and a kind of cheesy T shirt.

    Yeah they changed that for international customers. Would be handy though to get them sent over but sure you get them in the end.

    Jesus that ticketmaster would break your heart! Got two tickets but it was next to impossible to get them beside eachother, seats are only four sections apart so its not the end of the world.

    My first live UFC event so hopefully its epic!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 303 ✭✭mooeire


    tickets got, just need to book flights and im all set
