UFC Sells 55,000 Tickets to UFC 129 for a Record $10+ Million Gate
The UFC has always had big ambitions for its debut in Toronto, Ontario. The province, despite having never hosted a UFC event is one of the biggest pay per view markets for the promotion and the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. We reported earlier on the initial sell out of 42,000 tickets to UFC 129 featuring Georges St. Pierre vs Jake Shields at Toronto's Rogers Centre. Now the Vancouver Sun reports they've upped the ante:
Ultimate Fighting Championship has written a new chapter in the record book, selling 55,000 tickets for UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in the company's long-awaited Toronto debut.
While final gate numbers haven't been tallied for the April 30 card, the sold-out event generated between $10 million-$11 million dollars at the live gate. Originally configured to seat 42,000, those seats were gone within the first hour of Thursday's pre-sale for UFC Fight Club fans. Opening up more sections for Friday and Saturday sales to newsletter subscribers and the general public, an extra 13,000 seats were made available, allowing more fans to get their hands on the hottest ticket in town.

In Canada for sure
I don’t think GSP/Shields does those numbers in Dallas. But still, that’s a big ol’ number.

In some ways this is very very awesome
in some ways it sucks.
If they do a show at Cowboy Stadium, ala Manny Pacquaio, I wonder if they use 50,000 seats. I heard a lot of complaints about those fights. But I guess some people just like to bitch so who knows.

It’s not like the people who buy the tickets are expecting cage side views or someone is forcing them to buy the tickets. If you don’t want to pay huge money to sit 50 yards from the cage, be an adult and either don’t buy the tickets, or don’t complain when you know what you’re going to get.
Hardcore MMA fan since UFC 99
Pretty much my thoughts
When I say it kinda sucks, I mean that the UFC might go to more and more bugger arenas, which will suck for the rest of us.
The other part is supply and demand. If they know they can sell that many tickets that quickly than obviously the price is too low and they’re going to raise it.
"I'll rock your body with big nasty hooks!"
Dear New York ...
SUCK ON IT!
We’ll continue to send our business to your neighbors.
If I were running an arena in upstate New York, I would be furious with the state politicians for denying me the opportunity to get in on that Ontario MMA fanaticism.
Especially since...
… Probably about 40% of the attendees will be coming from the NY, Tri-state, and Detroit area.

The only thing that bothered me
was the way tickets were sold. First day (Thursday) only UFC Fight Club Members could by, totally fair to give people who pay for it an advantage. I didn’t want to pay an extra $90, so I waited til Friday when I got a FAN 590 presale code. However, they let UFC Fight Club Members by 12 tickets at a time.
I have to ask, if you bought 12 tickets, were they legitmately for you and a bunch of friends? Considering the amount of tickets that went up on various resale sites on Thursday, I figured I was going to be screwed by the time Friday rolled around.
All 40 000 tickets sold during presale. They had to put more on for us to buy them on Saturday when they went on sale to the public. I had three laptops open at 9:45 with my Dad and boyfriend and I hitting refresh on the ticket master page as soon as 9:59 rolled around. We all were selecting 2 tickets, best available. None of us got any.
I’m a little bitter, but I’ll get over it. The only thing that really bugs me is my guy friend who got a pair today. I feel as though there should be one question before you were able to pay for the tickets.
Do you think its super gay when fights go to the ground and guys are just rolling around together?
If you answered yes you wouldn’t have gotten the tickets :)

Not true
Fight club members were only allowed 8 tickets.
“Visit the EVENTS page to find your unique US/CANADA Ticketmaster pre-sale code. With this code, you will be able to purchase up to 8 pre-sale tickets to UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada on April 30, 2011.”
They probably should lower the limit but the problem is the scalpers who have mastered the art of getting in there are buying up blocks of tickets. For a normal event they might buy one block but for something as huge as this you know they’re probably paying for fake accounts and buying up as much as possible.
It will happen again when the Vancouver event goes on sale in late March early April.
8 Tickets were legitmately for my friends and I
As I have mentioned earlier, we had 8 friends interested. One of us signed up for the UFC insider club membership, got the $150 tickets and split the insider membership 8 ways over the tickets.
So yes, no scalping going on here.
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow eh!
for reference...
does anyone know the next highest ticket sales and gates?

Dynamite USA had 42,757 people, UFC 66 had a 5.4 million gate. The UFC attendance record is 23,152 at UFC 124.
Dynamite USA had 42,757 people
LOL
That Dynamite number is bogus.
The actual paid attendance was 3,674 and the count at the turnstiles was 18,340 in attendance. FEG’s claim that another 25,000 people snuck in without going through the turnstiles is laughable.

Montreal’s UFC 124 event currently holds the organization’s attendance record with 23,152. (The North American MMA attendance record has been in dispute; a FEG “Dynamite!! USA” event in 2007 reportedly drew 42,757 attendees, but more than 91 percent of the tickets were complimentary.) UFC 66 in 2006 set the UFC and North American gate records with $5.4 million.

Makes it hard to believe that they're making any money
when they’re paying some fighters more than 100k.
Well 2011 seems to be the Year for the UFC So far the cards have been really good and stacked with good match ups. Strikeforce has this Grand Prix, but after that is done, UFC will snatch up the winner. Then after four or five more years of shit ratings and no pay per view, they wont have enough money to feed greedy as fighters like Diaz and will have to fold. Lord knows how much they have to pay Fedor and M-1
Greed fighters like Diaz? What?
He’s deserves his pay just like anyone else in the world of MMA. Let’s not get into how much certain fighters in the UFC are making after a fight. Geting paid more than than your opponent who in return knocked you out, and recieved the knock out bonus. Please.

Actually.....
I always see cases of the losing party getting paid more than the winner…..
Here’s just a quick example off of the top of my head
From Wikipedia info on UFC 121:
Jon Madsen made 8 and 8 for beating Yvel, who made 30k…
Tom Lawlor made 10 and 10 for beating Cote who made 21k…
Schaub made 10 and 10 for beating Gabe and Gabe made 67k…..
Hamill made 58k for beating Tito and Tito made a whopping 450k…
And the winner…..Cain Velasquez who made 110k which included a 100k win bonus (!) and our favorite, Brock, made a cool 400k on paper.
That’s just one fight card. You can’t say this doesn’t happen all the time.
I was gonna say Brock and Cain
but I don’t think Cain got a KOTN bonus.
"I'll rock your body with big nasty hooks!"
Neither,
i just referencing the point i made earlier. Saying that their’s been a few fights in the UFC in which the loser still has the bigger payout then the winner.

I dont know. I think if UFC gets the chance they would. Strikeforce is their only competition from being the NFL of MMA. I think they would do it if an opportunity presents it self.
I think their org buying days are over. It would only make sense if they were able to get the winner of the HWGP on terms favorable to the UFC, and I don’t think that is possible.
If the shit hits the fan, they would be much better off paying nothing and getting the fighters on their own, no reason to pay SF to go away when they are the only game left in town. Maybe a small amount for the video library, but I’m not even sure how much value that would have.
By all accounts they are turning a profit
Maybe not a big one but something.
And relative to their broadcast outlet, their ratings aren’t bad.
The rumors of Strikeforce’s imminent demise have never had any substance to them.

Why that long?
Honestly I doubt it, I think Sf will hang around and be the solid number 2, but I think they will swap talent, I think some guys in the UFC like say a Nate, maybe he feels in UFC he will never get over the hump but in SF he could sign and get an instant title shot, I think some will do that, I think some of SF top guys, maybe not champs who are bound by the champ clause but I think as the prospects get better and if stars are born like a Woodley, Shane, Cormier, Mo I think they could in time jump to the UFC.
I just dont know if hte UFC needs to buy them out, I dont think they have room for all those fighters.
Honestly the best move is to buy Bellator, Sf should, you pick up instant contenders like Eddie and Lombard and prospects like Raphael Davis, Askren, Konrad, they could merge Bellator BW and FW div into a single FW div and have Warren, Soto, Pitubll, Reis, Fun Size, all the prospects, the LW prospects like Held and guys liek Chandler, and Hawn and Lozano, they would really beef up their divs with great prospects and give them future studs and stars and depth, UFC wouldnt cause they dont have the room but SF could and that would be a very smart move to secure a bright future.
If they really wanted, they probably could now

Never under estimate Canadians!
What makes me laugh is that everyone was posting after the 42k was sold that they wouldn’t sell more than maybe 45k(that includes posts on this website). So what do those same people think know that they’ve sold 55k in just little time.
How anyone can deny MMA as deserving of mainstream sports respect is beyong me.
It’s a shame how amazing this sport is, how many people love it, how easily MMA shows can sell out, how many PPV buys they can get….and some people are still trying to ignore it as legit.
Oh well, one step at a time…this news should get a few headlines.

Nick is very good off his back. Not the best in the world, but very good.
Jake OTOH has the best top game in the sport. The only weakness in his top game is a lack of power in his ground & pound, but his guard passing and positional control are phenomenal and his submission game from the top is very strong.
I think Jake would dominate Nick positionally and frustrate the crap out of him. Wash, rinse and repeat for five rounds.

No, yes the venue is perfect but you cant assume they could sell 50k even for Silva/GSP, remember I dont think Texas has the fanbase Canada does.
Why risk it, what if they struggle to sell 30k tickets when in Toronto they could sell 55k tickets like 129 but actually raise the price cause the tickets would be so in demand for that fight, they could do a 13 or 15 mill gate easy in Toronto.
Fact is you know in Toronto they can sell 50k, are you willing to bet the biggest fight in mma history that they can sell 50k in Texas? I’m not willing to take that bet, you know what your getting in Toronto, you dont know what you get in Cowboy Stadium.
If Cowboy Stadium was in Toronto then it would be perfect, they could probably sell 70k tickets for a GSP/Silva super fight, with the giant screen it would be perfect, I’m just not sure they could sell 50k in Cowboy Stadium, not without dropping prices, I just dont see the fanbase being that huge, sure people from all over would come out for that fight but your better off in Toronto.
Dana said he is leaning more towards cowboys stadium.
I agree, someplace neutral . I think they would do really well. Dana said it will be hard for americans to even get a ticket because the canadians are going to snatch them all up.
Not really...
Cowboy stadium, and the city of Dallas could do extermely well. Let remind you how well they did w/ the 2010 NBA All-star game. Mind you that was an All-star game. Every big star in the US came out to that event, and ticket sells were tremendous.
I can see the spectulations reguarding the stadium b/c of the Pac-man fights b/c of seating arrangements.
The fan base is beyond huge. They could definitely do the sells that Toronto is doing w/ this exact card.
