Tickets aren't on sale yet.. diet is quoting Vegas and New York prices - they won't put $2000 seats in a smaller market like Nola

Idk. I looked at the prices for the Iowa card a couple weeks ago which you’d think would be cheap and they were 2-5k to sit on the floor still

Those are probably platinum seat pricing or the very first rows.. also, you can't see shite on the floor.. mid first level are the best seats which were around 300 in Iowa.. they'll be more in Nola, but nothing like the bigger cities.. I know it's a different world but Nola couldn't get more than 5000 people ten years ago when tickets were $100.. and don't stress out if tickets are too much, prices will fluctuate

I heard that they might try to do Volk vs Yair 2 for the main for that card. If that happens, ufc has become a circus joke. Look at the god damn FW ranking and it’s fricking as honest as a Louisiana politician behind closed doors with bag of money.

#1 is Holloway - he moved to LW and got chinned his last fight
#2 is Lopes
# 3 Topuria - he’s at LW
# 4 Yair 3-3 his last 6. Also got pummeled by Volk when he fough the title. Best win is vs #10 Emmett.
#4 Evloev - why is there 2 #4? Shouldn’t this guy obviously be #1? 19-0, 9-0 in ufc with wins vs #2 Lopes, #5 Allen, #9 Aljermain. And Volk already called him out for his next tithe defense.

So… with presale beginning tomorrow, are we to assume no co-main and that this is the official full main card? If so, this is a boondoggle of a numbered card.

Fwiw…

Prices available to Pelicans season ticket holders are $875 for club level seat.

House of Blues members $900 for club level seat.

I really hate that they don’t guarantee your actual section or seat location.

Also it’s a lot to ask for city like New Orleans. Locals won’t show up and fill the place. It would be reliant on people flying in (like Vegas) for a banger card and wanting to spend the weekend in Nola.

yeah so far the card is shite. outside of max and dustin everyone announced on that card is a fight night or prelim fighter.

they may sell a few hundred tickets in the last row of the arena around 200.. but everything else will be 350 and up. good seats in the lower bowl and club areas will be 500-1000+. floor probably 700-2000

I gotta think this is going to be among the all-time low gates and PPVs, which probably assures NOLA won’t host another UFC event.

Safe to assume Vettori-Allen could be co-main. I was hoping for another lightweight, but figured they would have already announced. There’s still a chance to add a couple other LA fighters.

Figured Matt Schnell would try to get on it & then Holobaugh if he wins on 5/31. I think Gamrot could also sneak in with a quick turn around after 5/31. Not a LA fighter, but trains with Dustin

Gamrot vs Gaethje or Arman would be a huge addition

seems like they would have to have another lightweight fight on the card. what if max gets sick or injured last minute.

this got weirdo hunter cambell written all over it.

That ain’t any kind of co-main. That’s just a fight that comes before it.

Just looking at the card as it is now. Back to back “local” guys to end the card makes sense

Curious to see if it will be better to buy tickets now at face value or wait & see if prices drop later

I don’t see there being a great resale market for this card
