Aldo McGregor CONFIRMED July 11 Vegas

JoeyJJ

Wonder will many buy tickets that for some reason won't have a home. You would have trouble selling print at home tickets.

Good luck to fc guys today, anyone got a spare code send it on lol.

JoeyJJ

Was the newsletter code out yet, looking through my gmail I don't seem to always get them.

The section 1 has no 370 tickets

The most tense I've ever seen Conor in an interview. Staring straight ahead. Funny ending though, typical Conor :pac:

You can resell tickets through Ticketmaster in the US. The buyer gets a new ticket issued and the original is cancelled - whether it's an e-ticket or a physical one. Really good system by the looks if it.

Will call for this event will likely be the MGM Grand Box office which is just outside the internal entrance to the Grand Garden Arena so it shouldn't matter if you can't print an e-ticket or have a physical ticket sent to you before getting to Vegas as it's easy enough to collect the tickets on site.

There's no 370 ones there now. But I think the back rows might have been $370. Anytime the back of a section is sold out before the front it suggests that the back was a cheaper section.

The graphic isn't necessarily to scale though, the back of the lower tiered sections was smaller than the other two.

I think the issue was he was using somebody else's CC, which makes it tricky to show ID and the CC at the box office.

Yeah. When collecting tickets at the MGM Grand before I needed both my CC and my Passport.

Another Fox interview. Was in stitches laughing at the 'Tell him I'm his Daddy' bit. You could even hear people behind the cameras laughing. Also, I see Weidman is on video saying he thinks Conor wins the fight. The majority of American comments online see him not having a chance in hell.

Also, saw a vid the other day asking different fighters what fight they were most looking forward to and not one mention of Jose/Conor. Bit strange but then I might be biased.

I'm absolutely sick that I won't be able to travel over for this. The price hike in the flights for July killed it for me, especially since I was effectively having to pay for the other half to come with me as an alternative to our planned holiday. After weeks of kidding myself that I'd be able to afford it (which I could, but it'd be tight), I have to admit defeat on today of all days.

Next question, who is going and how do you see your chances of getting tickets? Many been to see Conor fight before? (that last bit isn't a dig)

JoeyJJ

Hopefully get a ticket this evening, My first overseas UFC event, being to both Dublin events, being to a couple of Irish local events however a good few years ago.

Previously being to a few boxing events Barerra v Pac in Vegas the highest profile.

Hopeful of tickets however not taking for granted hopefully get a ticket and then book flights straight away.

They could also sell them on stubhub as an electronic ticket. Stubhub guarantee the ticket.

I'm going and would be surprised if it wasn't handy enough to get tickets today. I've been to his last two fights in the States. Last MGM fight I went for the $245 tickets and they were grand. Tempted to hit the $370 ones this time.

How much is it all in? Flights, hotel & Tickets?

I got flights and accommodation in the MGM Grand for 5 nights for €1300. Tickets we're hopefully going for are around €220 with conversion taken into account.

€1,500 for all three which isn't too bad. Obviously it could be done for cheaper (hotel) but god only knows when I'm gonna be back in Vegas again.

Fair play to you, its not that bad in fairness, and your right, if your going to do it, you should do it right! Enjoy!!

I’m in the lucky position of living in the States, so my flights will be considerably cheaper and I searched around and found a somewhat cheaper deal for the MGM.

I’m actually going to hold off for a while from booking flights as accommodation and tickets are refundable if something happens to one of the main event fighters. I just don’t trust Aldo not to pull out. I’ll have to bite the bullet once I see flight prices start to rise though.

JoeyJJ

Yeah I have a room booked in MGM too, lovely hotel in terms of casino and facilities, wife wouldn't let me book anywhere else.
Hopefully there isn't a FC rush today from Brazil, Ireland and Canada.

mark26ireland

If theres ever going to be a riot at a UFC event, I think this is the one!! Ireland vs. Brazil!

Just need to patient, when trying to get the last Vegas card the ticketmaster site had me waiting 10 minutes in a queue before I was offered tickets. By later in the day there was still plenty of tickets on FC.

I'm heading from July 6th-13th. Staying in the Luxor, €1,193

Heading down from Toronto, got a great deal for about 750 Canadian. That's flights and 3 nights in the Excalibur its across the road from the MGM. Still not sure how much im willing to spend on the tickets.

There doesn't seem to be much difference in view between cheapest seats & then the next level.

We were at McGregors fight against Holloway in Boston, we were in terrible nose bleed seats more or less behind a big screen- complained to one of the stewards there and he brought us down to empty seats with McGregors family it was an unreal experience.

Anyone familiar with The Convention Centre care to take a guess at what room(s) this event will be held in? Presumably The Auditorium for the press/Q&A?

No, it's on the ground floor - standing event.

How are we supposed to see if there's 2500 people packed in on the same level?

That's a bit **** to be honest. Especially since 2 of the people I'm going with are under 5ft tall! Shame.

Awful awful room

peejay1986

Guys, if you haven't booked accommodation yet then I highly recommend looking on AirBnB. Places at MGM Signature can be got for less than the cost of hotel rooms. Especially if there's a bunch of you sharing.

Good news for anyone who missed out on tickets for the Press Conference in Dublin next week! The Convention Centre Dublin just tweeted out the following:

DrPhilG

I'm not expecting anything like the ticket rush for Dublin, or even UFC 100 & 116 which I got tickets for.

That said I'm taking no chances so I have the phone, tablet and laptop all charged. All my info ready to copy and paste and will be buying bang on sale time.

I'm in Donegal but work in the North so I'm dealing in sterling. Flights cost me £640. Accommodation in the Luxor is about £300 between me and a friend. Have stayed in the MGM before and wasn't overly impressed so it's not worth the big chunk of change extra just to be in the fight hotel.

I'll be aiming for the $370 tickets but can go to $540 if the poop hits the fan, which I doubt.

So all in all I'm looking at about 1400 euro for flight, fight and hotel.

Zero-Cool

Thanks DK224!!!

Any help appreciated.
