Nonsense. You've all got slanty eyes, play Starcraft, speak Chinese and eat nothing but sushi and ginger beef.
DON'T TRY AND CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
I wonder how much those programs are that the brokers must use to buy tickets. You'd think they could come up with a way to stop those.
Weren't there presale codes posted in the calgary deals thread for yesterday?
I'm not surprised they're all gone though.
I can eat more hot wings than you.
IMO, no one should get presales, it should all be first come first serve.
Why presale is better. If you have the code you can only buy max 6 tickets. There were tons yesterday and the day before. Without that scalpers can buy unlimited amounts which is why they sold out fast today. UFC has the right idea IMO so that the fans actually have a chance to get them not just the scalpers like what happened with Garth brooks.Originally posted by 03ozwhip

Stubhub is listing lots for sale. 700+ tickets, ranging from $180-5,000..
buying tickets first come first serve can have a limit too, it just doesnt make sense to put tickets up for sale more than once if you can do the same thing with a first come first serve basis.Originally posted by warcaster

Thing is UFC cares about the fans so they do a presale. Ticketmaster only cares about sales so they have 0 limits. You and 5 guys could have split the UFC membership. Ends up being like 12$ each lolOriginally posted by 03ozwhip

thats what im getting at though, why cant ticketmaster just limit the sales per account, same as presale, 6. that way everyone has a fair chance and doesnt have to sign up for anything, just go in or online and try and buy them.Originally posted by warcaster

it doesnt matter if ticketmaster only cares about sales, they get a certrain amount of tickets and of course they will always sell them all, so what is the problem?
Trust me I agree with you but it will never work that way. It's all risk vs reward. Having no limits has a 0 risk and 100 reward of selling out. UFC knows they will sellout and that's why they have limited ticket presales so the fans don't get ripped off.
I think that besides flames season ticket owners the Garth brooks concert was sold to 99% scalpers. Ticketmaster dosnt and will never give two shits about the fans. In the end they only care about making fast money
UFC does it this way for one reason and one reason only, money.
How many people do you think purchase a $90 annual membership to a website just so they can pay full price for tickets 48 hours early? It's a win/win for both the UFC and the hardcore fans... UFC makes a boatload of cash and the hardcore fans know how to get better tickets than the general public.
Exactly. To me an extra 90 was nothing to me because id rather pay that then pay double the ticket price to a scalper. It's a smart way for UFC to make money and for us to get a fair shot at ticketsOriginally posted by wtf im nameless

Meh... Not that great of a card really... Only fight I think would be worth seeing is Bisping and Nogeura.
Dont really see why people would pay such big money for something thats almost identical at a pub (unless they put on some big show off camera) then I really dont see it being worth it.
Man this card is stacked. It's sick that we get to see a champion live. Btw nothing compares to seeing something live, This will be my 3rd live UFC and I can't wait.Originally posted by Shlade

That's like saying its better to pay less and watch the flames at home then be at the game
