Nothing unusual about this or desperate. It is simply a matter of having the product look professional for TV. As other posters have noted, this is done for the Oscars and other TV broadcasts before a live audience.
These are seats which often are vacant until near the main event, it presents a poor image.
Gotta have seat fillers for all those celebrities that show up at Bellator MMA events in Connecticut.
I have a feeling they are either having some sort of promotion with the guys from the show Gotham, or they are shooting an episode during the event and need shots of some of their stars sitting cageside at the fights.

Oh wow, they've taken it down already, hahahaha
They're run as a tv show so gate isn't as important as having the appearance of full seats for their broadcast. Most tv shows pay groups and give out free tickets to ensure a full audience for taping.
Mother fucker! You could've stamped my ticket there but I'll be at a wedding in upstate ny that day.

They're still a live sporting event, and can always offer free cageside upgrades to people in attendance, or give away tickets like a proper papering (do online contests, radio station contests, or give out tickets on the street as a last resort). The latter can even bring you good publicity. This has been done in pro-wrestling for ages. Hiring a casting agency is just really funny to me.

If it were a matter of like five or six top stars during the main card, they wouldn't need a casting agency to keep those seats filled. They could hire a few extra security guards from the casino or something to do that.
This thread was a let down. I read "fill her" by mistake in the title and it turned out to be a Bellator needs fans thread :(
It was taken down? That sucks i live in ct and would have hopped on that

I'm trying. I like Mohegan Sun. I don't gamble, but there are some decent places to eat, overpriced window shopping, and the venue itself is great for fights.
I've seen this company fill seats for a Deal Or No Deal filming. The fillers even got free pizza for lunch.
TTT

they don't need TV viewers based on recent numbers.
