Question to those who ever went to live event?

[TheBulletwithWings]

Has anyone here ever purchased a ticket for a big main event then, to have a fighter get injured or, not promote the fight and get booted?

Is the live ticket refundable in that situation OR, tough luck?...... Zuffa gotta eat!

Curious if it has disclaimer on ticket.

Not sure. Went to 196 expecting conor vs rda and got Conor vs diaz which was better for me

Is it just me, or are local MMA shows a lot more fun than UFC events?

Ringside seats are cheap, way smaller crowds, usually end up sitting with fighter's families which is fun, less waiting around for fights to start since it isn't televised.

I'll also say that boxing live > MMA live as the ground game can be difficult to follow if you're seats are far away from the cage.

As for the OP, pretty sure you're screwed if fighters drop out of a card you paid tickets for.

I agree on all accounts.

Thanks all for responses!

Just debating if and when I will ever see one live or always choose the best seat in the house ($59.95)

I had tix to 108...probably the most injury plagued card ever. Even Joe Silva suffered an MCL injury leading up to it lol.

The card for UFC 108 was plagued with numerous injuries, with multiple potential fights being called off as a result.

A proposed main event featured UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva facing off against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort. However, it was announced by Silva's manager, Ed Soares, that the fight would not happen at UFC 108 because Silva would not be fully healed from elbow surgery.

A bout between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin for the UFC Heavyweight Championship was rescheduled from UFC 106 to UFC 108, but this fight did not take place due to a continuing medical condition suffered by Lesnar.[4]

The winner of a bout between Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez was to be guaranteed a title shot for the UFC Heavyweight Championship against the eventual winner of the Lesnar vs. Carwin bout.[5] The planned bout was later scrapped when Nogueira was forced to pull out of the fight due to a severe case of staph infection.[6] A possible Velasquez vs. Carwin match for an interim belt had been ruled out as a new main event due to Carwin undergoing knee surgery,[7] although there were talks of the fight possibly happening at a later date.[8][9] The Nogueira/Velasquez bout was scheduled for February 21, 2010 at UFC 110,[10] though it was not for the interim belt.

Gabriel Gonzaga was forced to pull out of his bout with Junior dos Santos on November 25, due to illness.[11] Gonzaga was replaced by Gilbert Yvel.[12]

Paul Daley was scheduled to face Carlos Condit, but on December 9, it was announced that Condit had pulled out due to injury.[13] Condit was replaced by Dustin Hazelett.[14]

On December 11, Tyson Griffin pulled out of his bout with Jim Miller, citing an injury.[15] Sean Sherk, who originally had a fight with Rafaello Oliveira, stepped up as Griffin's replacement.[16] However, on December 17, Sherk pulled out of the fight; Duane Ludwig would eventually replace Sherk.[17]

Martin Kampmann vs. Rory Markham was also called off days later due to a knee injury. On December 14 it was announced that Jacob Volkmann would be replacing Markham. Volkmann came off short rest after last fighting at UFC 106.[18]

On December 29, it was announced that Steve Cantwell had pulled out of his scheduled bout with Vladimir Matyushenko. Since there was no time to find a suitable replacement to face Matyushenko, the bout was called off.[19]

Card subject to change...though, I remember one of the cards I went to, refunds were allowed for some reason. Maybe it was because it was in California (specific laws)...can't remember which card now.

Might have been 189 with Aldo dropping out against Conor...not sure now.

Yeah, I've been to 3, 1 of them was the Nick Diaz getting pulled for not attending presser. Thanks to injury Nick ended up being main event anyways. But no GSP.

I even signed up for presale for ufc 200 ($150) and now I'm not attending biz of Conor being pulled.

The other 2 UFC I attended. Cote tore his acl against Anderson, then the next one Anderson snapped his leg against Weidman. That's the fight game, card subject to change, you have to live with it

What did you pay $150 for?

I have been to 4 live UFC events and the cards always stayed the same, main event and co-main never changed. I was lucky!. It always says card subject to change in small writing when you purchase the tickets.
