Conor McGregor’s UFC 303 return features ticket packages exceeding $12,000

[Wild]

Conor McGregor helped produce the two biggest live gates in UFC history, and based on current ticket prices, his return may set another record.

The Irish superstar, who faces Michael Chandler in the main event at UFC 303 on June 29, fights for the first time in three years since suffering a gruesome broken leg in his most recent outing in 2021. Now healthy again, McGregor seeks to resume his career with his return at International Fight Week 2024.

Tickets for the event go on sale on April 26, but UFC released information about VIP ticket packages on Monday, which are brokered through OnLocation — the live event service owned by Endeavor, the company that serves as the primary shareholder in UFC.

The highest priced option lists at $12,000 per ticket, which includes a guaranteed seat in the 100 level section along with in-venue hospitality, a reserved seat at the ceremonial weigh-in, a post weigh-in reception, and a VIP entrance into the T-Mobile Arena.

Lol, “I get a guaranteed seat for $12,000?. Fucking count me in bro”

One question, do you at least get a mound of coke for yourself ?

Prices are insane. Initial entry price was $405 as of last week. Today while still under pre order it’s $605. When it goes public I expect $1k minimum.

Agreed.

They are milking the Connor fans on this one and the rest of us will just shake our heads.

The Chandler fight means nothing in the rankings and it puts neither fighter ahead really. It just means that Connor still fights...maybe.

Who wants to bet that this hyped up, decade long build up, ends quickly in the first round ?? Ha ha

I’m no Conor fan but when his name is on lights he shows up. I’m going and don’t have a fear of him not fighting. Not to mention Nevada has a refund clause if main event changes. If he dropped out the ufc would be refunding 90% of the tickets.

That'd be hilarious, I hope it happens
