UFC 241 this Saturday in Anaheim looks to be a big one as ticket demand for the event is on the rise. ESPN reporter Brett Okamoto reported that this event will be the first to surpass a $3M gate in the state of California.
Per UFC, Saturday’s UFC 241 PPV will be the first MMA event in California to hit a $3 million gate.

The secondary market is hot as well. According to SeatGeek, as of Wednesday the get-in price for the event is $181 with the average price per ticket on the secondary market at $300. And don’t look for the ticket prices falling that far either.
Payout Perspective:
This is not surprising for the SoCal market as it’s a very popular place for MMA. The card is very good considering you get a heavyweight title fight featuring Cormier-Miocic, the return of Nate Diaz to fight Anthony Pettis and then Yoel Romero and undefeated Paulo Costa. The ticket demand is high compared to last month’s Edmonton event.
