Yeah, if you're front of the top tier then you will have a good view. I was up there last time and it was a good view. Since they only come back occasionally i splashed out for the 150 seats and am pretty damn happy with it too.

I can't wait for this already. All excited and getting nothing done in work today.

That's reassuring to hear. Do you have any photos from when you were there?

A friend of mine got seats right next to the cage, he said it was a waste of money.He spent most of the night looking at the big screen.Camera men in the way and if fight was at other side of the cage he couldn't see them on the ground.

Very handy website. Right at the back for us.... Hmmm.

Positive: Quick access to beer/toilets.
Negative: *squint* "We must really be up high. All those people down there look all tiny"

Are the seats not arranged different for MMA/Boxing events?

Yes, There is generally floor seating where the stage is. Dunne / Cordoba had an entrance ramp so there was a small stage there. 93 had elevated seating where the stage is and the fighter entrances below it.

I take it for €100 and less you're going to be in the green section.

Would like to be in the yellow but I just don't have the budget for it.

Howya fellas, I'm having a look at the ticketmaster page and the cheapest tickets available are 100 quid! I'm wondering whether all of the 50 and 75 tickets are gone completely OR just all of the UFC Fight Club tickets have been snapped up..... ie there will be more released tomorrow and Friday. Does anyone know what the story is?

As far as i know they only have a limited amount on sale in the pre sale meaning they will have more on sale tomorrow and friday.

Fingers crossed I'll be up early tomorrow morning anyway.

Lads will there be any autograph signing besides the chuck q&a the night before? Just looking to get a few gloves signed, would there be any chance at the weigh ins to get a few??

dave1982

Theres a hotel maybe 5 mins up from the 02, I met shogun, Ninja, Coleman, Franklin, Kapman, Lytle, Wayne McCullough, Buffer, Goldberg and the ring girls.That was on the Friday I was surprised that they were willing to mingle in lobby/bar

DrPhilG

More often than not the fighters hotel will have security on the door. Only guests allowed in.

That's why the hardcore autograph stalkers fans will try to scout in advance which hotel it is, and book in themselves.

There's always a crowd outside the hotel trying to meet fighters on the way in, or chancing their arm and getting the fighter to bring them in as part of their group. :pac:

Ticketmaster is such a pile of ****e! Had three 75e tickets in the basket with a minute left on the counter and when I go to click continue I get the message 'sorry we are unable to process your request at this time'. What a wonderful system.

Does it actually? I'm tempted to ring them up and give em a mouthful. Surely the tickets are yours till the timer runs out? Disgraceful.

Yeah its a ****e system it cant handle the load so it doesnt know what to do. I can still see o2 priority tickets with my code, i bought 100euro ones and now its giving me 175euro ones. The whole time i selected best available! grrr

rolexeagle1

Now its giving me 150euro ones

bpm1989

According to o2 all the priority tickets are gone. No hope of getting tickets now. Pile of w4nk system.

Newsletter presale might still be availible.
The main release is always bigger anyway. Don't give up.

How do you work that out?

lertsnim

Newsletter presale is a bust by the looks of it.

Davei141

I got some poor seats for 100 euro, passed and now there is none left. Feck it.

Edit: found some more crap 100 euro seats, they can stick the event ill watch it in the pub.

TheJackAttack

I just took one 150 ticket in block E ..panic buy I think

D35

Had great seats in G and my Visa verified password didnt work and I lost them GRRRRRRRRR

F U VISA and your extra BS security

Stuxnet

Glad I went halves with my mate on fight club membership ! Knew this **** would happen, unlucky lads

Thanks for that, I switched from two to one and got one...for 150 euro I feel violated. Bad luck for my mate but I think he was only interested in 50 euro seats anyway. At least it's a good seat I suppose!

markcahill1985

Got one block K Row 44, anyone have any idea if this will be a decent view? Any idea what time the fight starts and end at?

Simply Red

Had the chance to buy 2 together this morning but let them go to see if i could get any better, stupidest decision ever

It always is for all events, gigs, etc - not just UFC.
The idea is that the limited presale sells out, quickly. And this builds up momentum for the main sake, creates a bit of a rush.
It's the same principle behind an artist announcing dates one or two at a time. There a name for the tactic but I can't recall it right now.

Should give you an idea of the layout here http://www.theo2.ie/the_o2/new-page/seating-plan

D35

Still one ticket left but its in the rafters for €100. UFC are maggots the price they are charging for crap seats. I now toying with the idea of just going to the pub and watching it and use the €150 I was planning to spend on drink.....

CM24

The last time the UFC was in the 02 they had a section of fans on the other side of the cage as well. Made it look better for TV. They were the VIP seats.

Wonder what song McGregor will come out to?

D35

BLOCK E Row 19 €150 seat on my own Ticket still there will I take it ?

I've taken one in Block E in row 19. the rows extend from 1-20 in lower tiering for E. The next one up is 125 i think.

It'll be on in most pubs in the country I reckon.

EuskalHerria

Some young go getter, potentially a poster on here, set up a UFC Fight Night Facebook page. Its not an official page, simply someone taking the initiative to set a FB page up for the event.

The torrent of abuse this person is getting now is hilarious. People thinking its an official page and just unleashing a tidal wave of abuse.

MagicIRL

Got a link to it? :P

I don't think as many are visible on the mobile site. Posts to the page and scattered comments on pictures and posts too. Here you go:

Except I have seen a number of events sell out completely in the presale. UFC 100 did, one of the big Canadian ones too.

The FC have always insisted that all tickets are available in the presale. Although they are both liars and useless on most things...

Does anyone have any idea, what side the entrance might be on? On the side with block H, or block P?

Block A/H side is where the entrance to the dressing rooms is usually for gigs
