Anyone else going to UFC 240?

The one last year?

Amazing event. For a big Fox show, the card was great.

Calgary is a real nice city too.

Yup, was my first event. Awesome card top to bottom.

Yeah brother I was there too.

Great card for your first event.

That place was rocking when Aldo got the win.

It's casuals who shell out 200+ dollars for crappy cards like this. My bro in law bought tickets for the last one and he's as casual as they come.

Casuals also don't watch, which what you said you'll be doing.

Non-casuals.....watch.

The UFC has treated us Canadians like shit.

Anyone know when was the last stacked Canadian card? I can't remember.

Card is definitely aint worth the money they're asking for.. but i will certainly go to the weigh-ins!

Good point.

I always forget about those opportunities.

Just looking it up, I will likely pop in to the Open Workouts Wednesday and the Weigh Ins Friday, since both are only a couple blocks walk for me.

Got pretty excited when first announced. My friend was convinced we had to buy tickets 1st day they were on sale cuz they sold out last time. Glad we didnt. Not going at all. Mightve if i lived in Edmonton but its a 6 hour drive and the card is terrible.

Ask your mommy one more time. I am sure she'll pony up the cash for you to go!

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Only reason ufc 240 will sell out.. is because the gov't sets these foreignors up real nice in Edmonton.
400k housing, 3k a month for free. So these turban lickers got nothing better to do with their time..

Her face straight on is pretty masculine and harsh. The roids have not been kind. On certain angles though she looked good. She is fit and her muscles were not all pumped so she looked almost feminine. She laughs a lot. A lot. And she seems genuinely humble and happy for fans and that always helps.

YOu nailed WonderBoy. Good job.

Bump for those who might want to see the pics and did not know I posted them late last night.

Wait until the day of the event and buy tickets off kijiji, I’ve got a deal every time that way.

That is exactly what I am thinking about doing. It appears 50% of the lower bowl seats where never sold and are still available directly thru TicketMaster so you can buy them at cost. They have blocked off any upper Bowl tickets and refuse to sell anymore which suggests they will move everyone down to the Lower bowl to make things look more full. So that means that even the upper bowl seats moved down don't fill the 50% of lower bowl seats.

So I am guessing that only about 25%-35% of the official tickets sold with about 65% remaining unsold.

That means any scalper who bought in advance or any person whose plans changed and needs to offload their tickets is in competition with the still remaining 'at cost' official tickets. They will have to deep discount their tickets to grab the few people actually looking to buy last minute tickets.

Not only that, but people get gifted or comped tickets and have no interest in going. You should start checking.
I got amazing seats for Jones v. Gustafson for half the ticket price from a guy who won them at a stag.

I can’t see any of them for some reason. They won’t show on my phone using Safari or Chrome.
