Here's a picture completely zoomed out as the other was slightly zoomed In, and here's my exact seats.

The way some had described it I was expecting you to have needed a telescope to see the action. That view is canny IMO. That said I much prefer having a top down view for UFC anyway. I'm actually kind of wishing I had gone for those seats now :eek:

Thisbis ridiculously late but I have a fight club presale code for 2 tickets if anybody wants it. Rather than waking up tomorrow to the hassle of trying to go through Ticketmaster. PM me if you do

The Fight Club presale ended Wednesday morning.

Carroller

I was under the impression you could get them up until general sale. My bad

It ended Thursday at 10am, you had 24 hours to buy a ticket.

I didn't get tickets because I can't go, but I wouldn't have been paying €175 for that card. Not a hope.

The prices of tickets has nothing to do with the quality of the card.
It's basic economics. Why should they price them at any value lower than what they can get.
I doubt anybody does that in their own job.

Look at UFC191 this weekend. Same arena as 189, but it'll do a way smaller gate.

Even I didn't think they would sell 5200 tickets at €175 a pop though so they are clearly geniuses at pricing their tickets.

^ This TBH

Look at UFC 189, does a $7.2m gate. This weekend 191 will do a fraction of that in the same venue. Seats that cost $244 for McGregor are probably $70 for Mighty Mouse.
Reason being Might Mouses last title defense only did a $700k, they adjust prices to try to just sell out. For reference UFC Dublin (2014) did twice that, $1.4m

what a joke 175 pound in this day and age and the state of the economy what about the comman man youd be better craic getting a few lads around and having a few beers and watching it on the box

hard to get dedicated ufc fans tho in this country to do that

Rob01

Does this work with a code similar to the fight club presale?

I tried signing up to the newsletter weeks ago but got no response into my email.

Any newsletter codes going?

It'd be far cheaper, but it wouldn't be better in any way, shape or form.

UFCIRELAND

10am for the newsletter sale. Use code UFCIRELAND as already posted. Good luck all.

nmg_ire

is there a different page on ticketmaster for the newsletter presale

DrPhilG

I smell BS. Been on since 10am and it's telling me that there isn't anything left. Not even a single ticket at any price.

Rob01

fcuking none available at 10.01 :mad:

Paully D

Did anyone have any luck with the newsletter presale? Out of curiosity I tried a search for two tickets in any section a few times and was told there was nothing available.

It'll be interesting to see what the story with the general sale is.

T-b0n3

Yep same here, nothing available at all.

nmg_ire

Only showed me 175 tickets and cant afford that

DrPhilG

It's €175 tickets I'm looking for, for a friend. Nada.

mel123

nothing for me either, I even tried to put in one ticket and it wasn't giving me availability for anything at all, even the 175 (which I wouldn't have paid)

mdwexford

I got two 100 euro tickets just now in the newsletter presale.

Had the phone, ipad and laptop going.

Got lucky on the laptop, other two said no tickets left instantly.

Rob01

i'm willing to pay the 175 and I can't even get one

Take my money

They were taking the pish out of me.

"in the doldrums"

"very doubtful"

:mad:

Rob01

someone tell all these McGregor fans that he won't be there so I can get a ticket

I got "Union Jack" which was a bit funny for an Irish event

JoeyJJ

a lot of the time its harder to get presale tickets. Good luck in the general sales.

I know how economics works, trust me.

I wasn't disagreeing with the prices of the tickets. We vote with our wallets.

I was disagreeing with the delusion of saying "Well, the atmosphere will be great".

It seems a sentence designed to delude yourself into thinking you're not paying over the odds for what you're getting.

Just be honest with yourself.

"I bought a ticket for €175. I don't think the card is worth it, but the demand is very high so I had to pay more than what I thought was value".

DuffleBag

i used the UFCSOCIAL code and got mine. 2 €100 tickets.

Rob01

None available :mad:

JoeyJJ

went on there to see what the general sale was like, its tough to get tickets had a 100 euro let go a mate was looking for hens teeth 50 or 75.

JoeyJJ

keep checking

Exclamation Marc

I checked at 12.02 for an single extra for a mate anywhere in the 3Arena and nadda.

AndrewTheCat

Something up there, not a single ticket available on ticketmaster

Rob01

so frustrating....I guarantee you 80% of people getting tickets don't even know who Miocic or Rothwell are.....or even Duffy for that matter

DrPhilG

Just nabbed 2 x €175 for my friend (he's travelling so can't get online).

Good seats too, 7th row of the tiers.

Everything else is wiped out.

DrPhilG

Currently telling me that there's not even a single left at any price.

amorgan

managed to get 2 @ €175, block D in the presale on the button of 10am, nothing after at all. checked at 12 out of curiousity and got offered 2 more again (block A row 20-something) as it rolled to 1 sec left then nothing after that.

gixer1000

Thats it folks.
I dont feel so bad now that I got some 100 euro tickets at least

AndrewTheCat

Are there really 5200 idiots out there!

DrPhilG

Anyone else suspect that the UFC have manipulated this sale, the prices, the amounts released in each presale etc with an eye on McGregor vs Duffy?

There's no doubt that McGregor is a bigger star, more well known and higher ranked. But this event will have a bigger gate due to the extortionate pricing structure and will probably sell out faster due to the seemingly tiny number of tickets kept for the general release.

Que the UFC promoting Duffy as having sold out Dublin faster than McGregor and taking a higher gate which will inevitably prompt a backlash from McGrEGOr

Why are they idiots? If I want a ticket and can afford the €175 how does that make me or anyone else an idiot.

mel123

For anything that will sell out, I think its almost impossible to get tickets. For example the amount that will go to corporate/press/complimentary, presales, anyone who has a ticketmaster machine will just print off as much tickets as they can get (I know someone who used to do this because he knew he would sell them), and the list goes on. Theres probably very little available for general sale.

Paully D

Saw someone on Twitter say a fire alarm went off in work just as he was waiting to buy tickets. The poor bastard.

AndrewTheCat

Wonder how many tickets even got released in general sale

If I can afford to go, want to go and I enjoyed the last two events there, I am very much not an idiot.

heartofwhite

I managed to get 3 x €75 tickets at 10am - in retrospect, very lucky to have done so!
