**UFC Dublin: Ticket info** FACE VALUE ONLY

Its a pity because Gunni is genuinely one to watch. I'm as excited to see him as McGregor. Theres little upside to this fight for him, if he murders Cummings everyone will say it was expected. So he risks an upset for no upside.
Gunni should be getting a top ten fight next after bolstering a pretty poor card imho.

Good to see Norman Parke on the card too but why no Paddy Hoolihan?? Paddy has been knocking on the door for too long and deserves a lot more exposure. He's an exciting fighter who finishes fights.

Also no Fields or Pendred? That's a pity too... (Maybe there are TUF reasons for this or something... I've avoided spoilers for TUF all year lol).

Don't think Chris will be on the card he didn't go to camp with cathal, or mcgregor. They went over to Iceland with j. Kavanagh last week for training camp with a few other sbg fighters. I know cathal has a fight in 5 weeks which I'm guessing will be the final of ultimate fighter but he won't say anything about it . He won't be on the Dublin card then as that is 2 weeks later

May not have been the Tate fight, but the UFC lowered prices for one of the events that Rousey fought on. I remember it was a Rousey event because my mate who hates women's MMA used it an argument that women's MMA was flopping. Soon shut his trap when the prices stayed low for the next event which had a big mens headliner.

As for the Irish prices, I think we have misunderstood each other regarding explains vs justifies.

The prices were lower than usual in Vegas for Rousey V McMann. However this was nothing to do with a general price decrease. It was just the feeling that coming back to the same market 8 weeks later with a weak main event wasn't great.

UFC ticket prices are not down as a whole. Cheapest tickets reported for Berlin were in the €100 range.

I think it's been posted several times, but the bottom line on the price discussion is that the event sold out in minutes. Therefore it was not overpriced.

I totally understand the posters above who weren't willing to pay €320 for this card. It's a pretty bad card all told. I personally did pay €260 because I won't get a chance to go to a stacked UFC card in the US for many years and I see no value in skipping this one to go to another one in Europe the standard of which is likely to be similar but I'd have to travel for.

I'm going to be in Vegas for UFC 177 on August 30th, any idea what kinda prices I should be expecting for it?

How will ya be paying for that? By selling UFC tickets on EBay?

Uhm, my holiday fund? I know nothing about ebay sales, I said earlier in the thread that I was looking for tickets for my two buddies?

Bit of a coincidence then that there's another Ayatolla selling tix on eBay, based in Ireland too

That seller on Ebay is from Cork.... As are you if I'm not mistaken.

What's the main event for that show? Or has anything been announced? I can't think of anything. Not Aldo-Mendes 2 is it?

Considering Ronda and Weidman fight in July and Jones in September, and the 155, 170 and hwt belts are all on ice whoever tops that card isn't going to be a big name so I would expect they'd be cheap tickets, probably at the level of Rousey-McMann.

Yeah was thinking the same. Jones - Gustaffson was supposed to be 177 but got pushed back. I'd pay in the region of 150 per ticket seeing as I'll be over there on holiday anyway. Was thinking if McGregor comes out of the Brandao fight unharmed, he could hot hot-shotted to another fight.

I sure am in Cork, but I'm sure I also don't have an ebay account!

Mod: Lads, it doesn't matter if that account belongs to a poster here. You'll have to just take his word for it. Don't be hounding the bloke and just get back on topic.

Hmm... Sounds to me like Guapo is trying to hide something... and that something is the fact that he is the one with the eBay account!

Another conspiracy for ye to check out. TheLiberal.ie facebook page was giving away 2 tickets if you liked their page and shared their post. They spammed the comp all weekend declaring winner would be announced last night. Now it looks like the competition never happened as all their posts about the comp are missing.

Edit: I read in the comments on their Garth Brooks post (latest post) winner selected last night and prize claimed this morning. Bollix!

Done deal already features a good few tickets being sold by touts. I really hate it when that happens.

Report them if they're selling for over the odds. That's what I did. DD replied back and said they had removed the ad.
