UFC 205 Tickets/Travel/Meet Ups/Fight Club etc

hurriedhopper

I am seriously considering buying a pair of tickets. Am I right in thinking that the tickets can only be bought from ticketmaster.com and not ticketmaster.ie?

Also, when I go the checkout screen on ticketmaster.com, the only delivery option offered for buyers outside of the US/ Canada is 'will call' (pick the tickets up on the night). Is there any way to get the tickets in my hand before I travel (I am kind of anxious about taking a gamble on so much money. If something comes up last minute I'd like the opportunity to re-sell them)?

Just managed to get a $650 ticket there now in section 214 so seems to be a couple available now

Someone told me something like 85% of all allocated tickets are usually in the general sale. Anyone know if this is anyway true?

It's not true afaik.
They might hold back some for the general sale but event have been close to sold out from pre sale alone before.

What's the story with the ESTA visa lads? I've never been to the states before. If I apply for the ESTA do I have an instant visa if it's approved or do I still have to do the embassy interview and all that craic?

More or less instant.
Embassy interview is for longer visas, working visas etc. Or maybe with an esta if you've complications

Done it. Instantly approved.

I'm going to make a holiday out of it and I'm flying Wednesday 9th and coming back Tuesday 15th. Always wanted to New York (and the States in general) so I'll be able to do all the tourist-y stuff as well.

Question is, what do I do for 6 weeks?

Pray to Jesus, Allah and Budda that McGregor doesn't injure himself in the next 6 weeks

JFK is a horrible airport. Well in my experience anyway. Might have been done up since i was last there once you get past that dump you're laughing.

Yep. If Conor isn't there the tickets are bad value. Who knows what could happen.

That may still be the allotment for yesterdays pre-sale?

It is, but you can see the amount of 'premium' tickets.

Ie, the amount of inflated prices due to demand.
Those are tickets that Ticketmaster have increased the price of.

Yeah, on the laptop. But it worked OK on the iPhone. Except that it was only the $1,500 ticket I was offered.

Blahh89

Same, has anyone actually been offered anything other than the $1500 tickets today?
