Conor McGregor said on the Late Late that the UFC has the O2 booked for May

SevereMMA

Yea Andrew tweeted about this after UFC in Manchester

https://twitter.com/andrewmcgahon_/status/394239267032952833

"The UFC IS going to Dublin/Berlin in April/May.It depends on somebody's knee or something ? Cities interchangeable. "

If Conor isn't ready for Dublin in April/May then they will have an event in Berlin at that time, and push the Dublin date back to wait for Conor

IanLAD

so what will be the story with tickets, any1 any ideas on when theyllbe on sale??

IanLAD

so Conor McGregor said on the Late Late last night that the ufc is booked for may in dublin, when will the tickets be out? because ive a feeling theyll be sold out in an hour or 2, been way too long of a wait for another ufc night here, hopefully it's gonna be a good card too!

Ahhhhhh, I just took it up that he meant London as he followed it up straight after he mentioned the March event, my bad!

Carry on :pac:

DrPhilG

Ah balls....

I'm supposed to be booking a holiday for late April or early May. Scared to now in case they bloody announce for Dublin on the same dates!

And I can see the wife's face alright, when I tell her the holiday is on hold pending Conor McGregor's injury rehabilitation schedule...

I always say I won't go to any Irish UFC event where they give us an awful card. On most european shows they give irrelevant cards that only sell because of the brand and I don't think people should pay the 70 odd euro for it.

Saying that I'll probably be sitting at my laptop counting down the minutes until tickets go on sale.

The card for UFC 93 in Dublin was very good, But what I thought was great was the actual event itself - the atmosphere was amazing something you dont appreciate while watching on the TV.

Bruce Buffer alone is worth the entrance fee

For UFC 93 we held a little party on the Friday Evening at The Octagon Bar in The Clarence, was about 25 of us from US/UK/IRE, we met up at most events, we all know Big Dan and Kev quite well so they came along, also invited Buffer, because wherever Buffer goes, so do the ring girls

Sure enough, Old brucey turns up with Arianny and Edith, anti social cnuts they were too, spent all night on there phones while we all got mashed

Savage, legend of a man. I fancy the women fighters way more than the ring girls, does that make me weird? Despite not even knowing when this is on fo sho I'm mad excited for it just for the buzz surrounding it, a good card would be the mutts nuts but the whole weekends craic around it all is as important.

Yeah Gary Cook told me the exclusive in Manchester but he couldn't give me a date because it all depends on Conor and his Knee.

This will sell out within Minutes. The last time in 2009 it was one of the fastest selling events in the 02 / UFC History. It also only held 9300 and something. I think for the next one they will change the production slightly to hold more. I was in the O2 the other night and thought if they put the Octagon where the stage usually is they could probably get the usual 13K in there.

So that was in 2009 when Tom Egan was on the undercard. Imagine how quick it's going to sell out with McGregor.

They'll be gone within 20 minutes IMO.

Not a chance of 13k, that's only for the standing layout, it'll be exactly the same as last time

Mellor

Yeah, 10k max imo. Not a chance of 13k

Dave 101

so the best way to get tickets for this is to get 5 of the lads plus myself, join the ufc fight club split the cost of tat (€10 each) and get 6 tickets presale ???

SureYWouldntYa

What does everyone think the price range will be ? Like what was it for UFC93. Trying to convince a few mates who aren't mad into MMA to go, but it'll be hard if tickets are expensive

Mr. Manager

My guess would be that tickets will start around the €75 mark

bigwormbundoran

Cheapest for Manchester was £75sterling, with booking fee on top of that, next step up was £100 with another tenner for the booking fee. Wouldnt be surprised to see the lowest being €85 costing you €92+ thanks to ticketmaster the reptillian swines.

Xlami

€50 for a Cage Warriors seat where you can be within touching distance of the fighters for similar level of fights.

MrStuffins

Tickets last time out started at €50. Mine were €200 or so and they were the closest ones to the cage that eyeing weren't VIP.

Awesome seats, but I'm going for the cheap seats. As with domestic events, it's probably best not to be sitting behind where the cameraman obscures your view every time the action comes your way

Xlami

For anyone speculating who will/won't be on the card Cody Donovan said in a few interview he wants on the card and he's an Irish American. So if he's not cut I reckon he's a shoe in.

That would take out the ringside seats space and where the other entrance for fighters is. The cage will be where it was last time.

Also, there is no hope this sells out in 20 minutes. It will be half a day at the earliest. GSP / Serra & UFC 100 were the fastest and this will not match it or even get near it.

PauloConn

The middle blocks will sell out in no time and there will be ringside ones left due to the cost of them. We were in the 2nd to cheapest seats and still had a good view and you have the big screens everywhere.

califano

What stadium in Berlin would it be held if Dublin was postponed?.

That event held 20 thousand.

It also sold out within minutes not half a day.

Sorry I can see how you've worded your post now. GSP and Serra 2 was sold out within minutes. Not sure about UFC 100.

UFC 100 was in minutes aswell. Too much hype about the event, everyone wanted to be at it. I cannot see the British fans coming over in numbers like last time if its in April or May given that there getting a good card in London in March. I could be wrong though.

It will be a day, the event sells out.

Oh by the way, the poster who said go for the middle blocks. I was in the middle block for 93 and I wont be going back to the section. Had the camera man in front of the row.

PauloConn

Never thought of the camera man but the middle block was priced accordingly last time, it was a good jump higher than the tiered seats

Not quite.

I bought tickets for it and it was a few hours after release before I got them. They were $300 seats, so I'm sure the $500/750 seats took a few more hours after that.

I don't doubt that the UFC claimed they sold out in minutes though...

BigSm0ke

I can't wait until they come again!

I remember at the Franklin Henderson card, Screaming for mark Coleman (i was a shogun fan xD) some mad nostalgia bug caught me and I was just shouting "Hammer"at the top of my voice, crowd was amazing!

75 euro ticket in the nosebleeds and still we could see everything that was going on!

Anyone have any idea of the actual date they have the O2 booked for? The Bodypower Expo is on in Birmingham the weekend of the 17th of May and I'm mad to go. Not missing the UFC though under any circumstances.

they have it provisionally booked for May, but it all depends on McGregors knee so it could be anytime between May and October, becuase id say both McGregor and UFC would like him to have another fight before coming to Ireland

I don't know if your asking me something or telling me my opinion, however by interesting I mean if Diego dropped down and Conor went up because that catch weight fight would be amazing.

I'm not asking anything. Just stating an opinion. And I posted that before the other thread closed.

Read that this morning. Really hope he doesn't rush back to fight and do himself more harm. Having said that, look forward to seeing him in the octagon again.

I hope so. As much as I hate him, I have come to terms with the fact that he's much better than i've given him credit for in the past. He'll never be World Champion but he's always been a very solid Top 5 guy!

See him very much as a gatekeeper for the Top 5. As you said, he'll never be a champion but if you beat Bisping, you're doing well. Good, solid fighter.

Well the way your comment is written with "you mean" it seemed like you were telling me my opinion on my comment, Also to avoid further confusion don't put a question mark at the end of "your opinion" if it's not a question.

The first comment wasn't directed at you. It was aimed at the idea of this fight happening.
The second was a harmless comment.
Don't get caught up in making something out of nothing.
