D.Q

When are tickets on sale?

CurryFlavoured

I'm going to wait a little to see what the card is like, but it won't be too hard for it to beat UFC's Dublin card last year quality-wise.

I don't think you'd need one. The rush won't be nearly the same.



Wait, this is in December isn't it?
I just clicked I'll be back in Dublin mid December. Off to check dates I go

Pre sale started now

Its serious. Thats a better headliner then I expected. Will go if the dates suit when I'm back for Christmas. Have UFC 205 and 206 coming up so would be nice to get a Bellator event in too!

CurryFlavoured

Not sure about that main event, it'll be a wrestling match. I'll wait to see what else gets put on the card.

Presale today. I cant make it so if anyone wants a presale code for 4 tickets send me a PM. Had a look there and you pretty much have your pick of any tickets across the entire price range.

If the other poster doesn't use it, I will!
Or if anyone else has a presale code that they won't use, I'd definitely make use of it.

ItsAnEasyGame

Went with the 58 ones.

Perfect really - Section D Row 18.

Best available for 75 were section D Row 14.

Excited for this now.

Can see norman ending up on the bammator card if the injury isnt to bad.

Went to the first BAMMA card in Dublin and thoroughly enjoyed the fights. However the arena was taped off ( just like the 2nd event this year) so do people think that the whole arena will sell out for this show??

from the reports ive been reading by Petesy Carroll and others, Bamma will have a card..then a full Bellator card will follow.. For an event being staged on a Friday, wont this have to start around 4/5pm to cater for all the fights? seems a strange day to pick but im sure the arena schedule is fully booked around that time of year.

It says that it starts at 5pm on ticketmaster anyway!

Just not having the UFC brand name will turn the majority off to be honest. It definitely won't be a sellout.

It's awful daft. I know it's in Dublin but to get a good attendance at an event here you have to bring in people from around the country. I live in Donegal but myself and 3 or 4 others would be at this if it was a Saturday. No chance I can get down on a Friday after work!

The last BAMMA event had a great turnout, having Bellator joined for this one should help. Although that could be negated by it being on a Friday.

Id say its friday due to bellator, most of there events would be a friday.

I was saying there's not a hope it will sell out though. 7 500 max there I'd imagine.

Completely agree.

I was really looking forward to this and would have been one of the first to buy a ticket if it had been on a Saturday, but it's not just going to work for us on a Friday unfortunately. Very disappointing.

I think a lot of people outside the capital will be in the same boat (and even some from there!) and it'll end up being a relatively poorly attended event.

hendo111

This could be a real freak show,between fighters missing weight on the bamma side and the miss matches Bellator are known for,Gallagher will be fighting a street sweeper no doubt,mvp too if hes on it.

MartyDublin

Really looking forward to combined show, but th friday is strange. Wasnt bellator london on a saturday night when cyborg santos and gallagher where on the card. Why not just run it on a saturday.

London was a Saturday, but other events have been Saturdays. Looks to be about a 50/50 split recently.

I had it in my head that they only went to Saturday nights when it doesnt directly clash with a UFC event (note, this is not based on even the most cursory of glances at dates for either organisation)

3arena booked the 17th of December.

hefferboi

So more than likely this won't be sold out? We want to book Saturday morning and we want the 95 euro seats.

Thers's about 5 of us going and we've never been to an mma event before. The boys only got into mma because of McGregor and I've only ever watched the UFC. Just wondering if this is expected to be good with the match ups? I only know Gallagher and Tuke from the fights announced so far. Any chance of MVP??

I went to the last BAMMA in Dublin and it was excellent. Very entertaining. You should have no hassle getting tickets. The demand is lower than the UFC events. Booking Saturday morning should be no hassle.

Wont be sold out but will be a great event. All events mainly are good nights. Fighters are fighters UFC,Bellator, BAAMA. If you enjoy MMA ya will enjoy it.

Only twigged the Combate Americas event being broadcast at the mo is taking place from NY, I assumed UFC205 would have been the first.

Incredbile submission from BJJ expert Mackenzie Dern last night at Legacy FC 61, some of the most high level jiu jitsu I've ever seen in the sport:

Right. Only Dern's second pro MMA fight and the other girl has a number of submission wins on her record so I'm going to assume she's not too bad on the ground herself.

I can't stop watching it, I really hope she continues to grow as a fighter because I love seeing that level of BJJ in mixed martial arts, even though I don't watch a lot of jiu jitsu on its own. She's an ambitious girl too, told Helwani she wants to be fighting for the UFC title by the end of 2017. Her stand up needs major work though from what I've read, Joanna or Karolina or even PVZ or Rose would butcher her on current form.

dashoonage

I dont want to see Joanna beat on that pretty face.
