    How easy was it for anyone who went to 189 to get tickets (first hand)???
    It was very easy. Fight club was a breeze. As was travel agents, etc.
    I know for certain that people bought tickets on the day, in the MGM, at face value after seeing the atmosphere post weigh-ins.

    There just isn't the same rush for a vegas event as there is for Dublin/Toronto/Sydney/Glascow etc.

    Some of those prices were pumped up by the UFC afterwards, the lowest price ticket for the Aldo Vs McGregor fight when they went onsale were $128 as far as I know.

    The $128 didn't exist. The cheapest ticket the minute they went on sale was $244.

    Is Edgar going to be the reserve?

    That don't formally establish reserves before hand.
    If Edgar is smart, he'll be in training just in case

    Myself and the lads are thinking the seats costing around $500.

    Anyone have experience with them?

    To have a realistic chance of getting tickets would I have to be a Fight club member ?

    I bought tix for $534 (after Ticketmaster fees) for the July Vegas card and will hope to do so again in December. I was in section 5 around 15 rows up from the floor and was happy with the view. The arena is so well tiered though that there really isn't a bad seat in there!

    Here's an idea of where I was seated

    There honestly isn't, 16 of us travelled over for 189 and bought the $228 tickets and were dotted all over the arena and everyone said they had a good view, plus you can't help but find yourself looking up at the big screen above the octagon. Its just a habit, you're drawn to the big shiny thing!

    Vegas in December is off peak and not really the same as in the summer, was at a conference there years ago and it just not the same as when its hot and buzzing, no pool parties etc...

    Average temp is 8 degrees

    This makes me sad.

    Its Vegas doh we will find plenty to do.

    This pic has tempted me for the 534 range (if that exists this time around and hasn't taken a significant bump)

    Thanks for the example pic, looks good. Did you enjoy it?

    I booked a Deluxe Queen room with two Queen beds in the MGM for 5 nights and only came to €561. So your talking €280 each for myself and a mate for 5 nights for a double bed each.

    Trying to get a flight now for <€620 which would be a nice total of <€900.

    where did you book the hotel at this price? its really good for two doubles.

    I definitely get the feeling that there's way less buzz about this than at 189 unfortunately. Quite understandable I suppose. I hope the atmosphere is just as good

    That's because the fight isn't for another 5 months and we've already had about a year's worth of build-up. Don't worry, the excitement will come yet, just enjoy the great cards (191 in particular) coming up in the next few months and the hype train will start rolling again. :)

    Yeah hopefully. Although I think the whole thing about UFC 189 being smack bang in the middle of the summer had a big effect. Can't see as many Irish being able to make the trip over just before Xmas. I sincerely hope I'm wrong though!

    Yeah that's not ideal, but sure look at it this way: cheaper flights, cheaper hotels, no unbearable desert heat (yeah, I'm actually complaining about nice weather :pac:) and a guaranteed stand-up war (albeit with a 10% chance of even happening). If I had the money, I'd have everything booked already, it's sure to be an amazing experience for anyone that makes the trip.

    A standard room in vegas comes with the option of a king bed or two doubles.
    They essentially don't do single/twin rooms etc.

    Plus almost all hotels have free cancellation. Book now and cancel if you get a better deal. That's what I did for UFC 189.

    Brilliant co-main event. Gotta fancy weidman but it'll be a close tough fight imo. I have flights and accommodation booked but when tickets go on sale what time of the day/night in Ireland will it be? Do I gotta be up at 3am on a work night to buy tickets?!
