UFC 191 ticket demand non-existent

September 4, 2015 by Jason Cruz 9 Comments

Ticket demand for UFC 191 at the MGM Grand Garden area are non-existent as there are a lot of tickets left on the primary market and listing prices have dropped over the past few weeks.

Notably, according to SeatGeek, the median listing price on the secondary market was $330.  However that has dropped 33 percent to $220.  It appears that you can get a seat on the floor for less than $500.

Seats are still available at Ticketmaster with the ‘get-in’ price at $75 up to $635 for a smattering of seats near the ring.  But, if you want to get a floor seat, you may want to check out the secondary market first.

The prices are in stark contrast to the average secondary market price for UFC 189 of $803.62.  Prior to this UFC 187 on Memorial Day weekend drew an average ticket price of $362 on the secondary market.  The ‘get-in’ price was $144 per SeatGeek.

According to Darren Rovell, the median price paid for seats on StubHub for UFC 189 was $500.  On the day of UFC 189, the ‘get-in’ price was $665.

Payout Perspective:

It’s undeniable that UFC 191 does not have the flashy card credibility as UFC 189 (Conor-Mendes) or even UFC 187 (Cormier-Johnson).  This Saturday’s event likely stops the string of lower weight-class momentum.  For whatever reason, fans are not attracted by Demetrious Johnson despite being one of the more dominant fighters in the UFC.  We shall see if the UFC can scoop fans coming in for the long Labor Day weekend to buy tickets for this card.

    who’s surprised? The UFC’s ticket sales are so far down from years ago that they don’t cover their production costs. Stay tuned for a hyped UFC propaganda story from Dana within 24 hours. The UFC girls are such amateurs they are as predicable as a retarded post from our girl D. bahahah UFC will hype the Fedor deal! like anyone give a fuck!! UFC fans only care about a pantie wearing champ!

    They all can’t be hot events.

    At least overall yearly PPV rates are the highest in combat sports.

    Its not a bad card but they fucked up going to Vegas with MM, they had another fight planned but it didnt happen I heard.

    But MM in Vegas on PPV is a huge mistake, you wont sell tickets and you wont sell PPV.

    MM needs to be a Fox fighter or PPV co main event. He’s probably the most complete fighter in the sport but he’s small and he hasnt caught on with fans. He’s never gonna be a star.

    They ought to take Johnson fights on the road to new places or places that don’t get many events so he will get a decent audience

    This was a replacement card. This fight was supposed to be Weidman- Rockhold but the date didn’t work out well for the two. Demetrious Johnson’s fights don’t sell worth a shit. They should be tv fights, not ppv.

    That being said, why on Earth would anyone quote Darren Rovell for anything? He is an idiot that can’ even count, let alone have any type of inside information on this subject. He probably asked Leonard Ellerbe about the ticket sales for this UFC- literally. Rovell’s a boxing paid troll.

    Also, Sal is a mutant who has the most insane delusions one can fabricate. He just makes crazy shit up as he goes along. You could show him an audit of the UFC’s finances, he still wouldn’t believe them. He’s a brain dead homo.

But seriously if this is being presented as a pivot, Dana's bluster about being too easy to change the game in #boxing, is actually harder than he thought.

Zuffa Boxing’s long-term plan is becoming less clear.

The promotion launched with the goal of creating a UFC-style boxing league, but its latest moves suggest a shift toward co-promoting major fights.
