£585 a ticket is the best I can get and thats only a single ticket so wouldn’t be sat with friends. Factor in train down, hotel, food, piss etc thats going to be best part of a grand. Ill go on holiday for a week instead.
How many sports does the live experience live up to modern broadcasting these days? I guess some people like paying a ton, all the costs/hassles/parking, barely being able to see and potentially being surrounded by idiots you can’t stand?
it’s usually around $500 for the upper deck nose bleeds at Madison Square Garden too. It sucks I feel like the UFC has priced me me out, I’ve been a MMA fan since the 90s but I won’t pay $800+ per seat to go to a show
I think in sports the tickets should go to the highest bidder, this ain’t socialism and you can’t fit the whole country in the arena. There is only enough room for the privileged. What are you gonna do?
kind of agree with both - I priced up going to a London UFC a few years ago as it fell on an anniversary, with tickets, travel, accommodation etc it would be £1200. I didn’t go, not because I couldn’t afford it, but it felt a rip off for what was on offer.
I hear you. Lowest price I could get on Presale for UFC 285 was 350$ and I waited until General on sale and it shot up to 450$ for nosebleeds. The Prices are stupid overpriced.
ha those motherfuckers with their rapacious supply and demand graph, completely bumming everybody while drinking good coffee.
id pay 70 for nosebleed, why not. 100 for a ticket a bit closer, but spending more than that is fucking madness. instead of watching a live event on a screen you could live like a king for a week, going out for every dinner and getting drunk
