hard to get deals but I may be buying a few tix as I will be on phone as soon as they open the lines

[p-o-g-i]

Tickets to the general public don't go out till 02/12, but there's a heck of alot of private sales that are going on already.
I already baught my pair of tickets (upper bowl though.. can't dish out for the lower bowl).
But I know ScotiaBank and TD have inside deals, Rogers Communications, Loblaws, etc.
Check with companies you work for.... alot of Corporations have early access.

[M3-ZOOM]

^ how much were your tickets?
how far is upper bowl from the octagon?

[p-o-g-i]

Close to $200 per ticket. It hurts... but it should be a good show :)

I was at the last UFC in Montreal and let me tell you how its crazy with all the people there yelling

Only thing is just like any other live event, you dont have anyone to call play-by-play

[rktsci]

I'm not much into UFC but those prices look like one big cash grab. Its nice that 25% of the tickets will be in the sub-$100 range but what will the octagon will look like from the upper bowl of the dome. It will be one big ant fight from that perspective.

[bluemazda3]

They'll show it on the jumbotron..

I personally have been to a trillion wrestling events over a decade and I'm going to go to the Fan Expo and order it in HD at home. Maybe due to the amount of sporting events I've seen in good/bad seats but unless I was ringside I would probably enjoy it more at home on my 52' in HD.

[BMWWW]

Which seats would be considered 'highly-desirable'?

Both my parents work for Scotiabank, have access to these tickets--but I could care less (literally) about UFC. I could use a few extra bucks!

Floor. If you get em, you'll make some nice coin (like REALLY NICE) on eBay or kijiji or wherever. Especially if you get first few rows.

[DumpInfo]

I'm going to aim for some decent tickets. Hopefully it's a good fight :)

[Slipstream]

omg fight on my birthday! soo tempted

Last UFC in Montreal, nobody could sell their "extra" tickets. Scalpers had TONS left over, people were stuck selling at huge loss. Nose bleeds could be sold for cost or just below, but $300+ seats were literally wasted.

[M3-ZOOM]

yeah thats what i was thinking. it seems like upper bowl will be like an ant fight like another member said. but i guess its for the experience right?
on a side note i think ill be doing what bman is going to do and just go to the expo and go out to watch it that night. when and where is the fan expo?

No offense to MTL but Ontario in terms of MMA support/love/attention blows MTL out of the water. I know many people who go to the MTL ppvs. It has been stated many times that Ontario has the largest fan base/strongest MMA following in the world...not saying it won't happen here but comparing MTL to Toronto is apples and oranges. Also, lets not forget being in attendance at the MMA event that will break pretty much every record in UFC history.

It could happen but if through the presale I have opportunity to grab tickets, ill make a tidy profit to say the least :).

I'm already planning on going to both day but the earliest dudes that was there today was 10am! that's nothing...back when I was hardcore into wrestling, trust me that early = nothing...If I remembered I woulda been first in line.

/rant lol

[SilentJay]

Going to try to get my hands on some good seats - My buddy works at the Rogers Centre in operations, so he gets free tickets to any venue... Just my luck he doesn't like UFC :)

[Shizuka_Osamu]

my buddy asked a couple of us friends to go in with him so i said ya. he got 6 tickets and now hes collecting. i heard the price why in hell did i say yes.

[prinsesa]

Rather watch the fight at DB or BP if the tickets are going for double the value..I dont think its worth it paying $800 for $400 seats..ya feel me lol

[FONZ]

my buddy already copped a few tickets. paid 3 billlssss.

[bman13]

A lot of fight club members got screwed this morning...if you're not holding tickets now, pretty much you're getting 500 level tickets most likely. Also, 500 level seats on stubhub are at $300...just saying.
