How funny, but you'd need a method to laminate them as well.

Also, keep in mind the key factor which is that "seats" weren't a part of their hussle. Not sure what they did once they got ringside, but most likely they just walked around to the other side & then exited so that they didn't have to pass the same guard in & out too soon. They'd definitely get questioned if they just stayed there standing around in other people's way.

I was very front row of the bleachers at my last UFC event & it was just one step above ground level as ringside, so some asshole standing in front of me would've been a problem unless they were super short.

It's cool they got into the cage side section.... but.... realistically they couldn't really hang out there for too long & ended up standing around somewhere or snagging a nose bleed seat so that they could sit down.

This hussle probably saves you $50 for what would be nose bleed seats that are still open that you can simply occupy. or you could just stand around at the entrance of the concession opening & watch the fight from there. You'd probably have to move every fight or so in order that the security from that area doesn't notice you just standing there all night. Seems a bit uncomfortable even if you're just there for a couple hours for the main event.

Well done boys, well done.

Used to do this with Subway stamps back in college, getting free subs whenever we wanted. Fake passes to a UFC event is another level of ballsy though! Props!

Not sure if serious, I have perused this forum for a lot of years and still sometimes can't read the sarcasm in the room.

Source: my eyeballs, and my earballs. That's why I said the guy was sitting right in front of me, because he was.

I *think* that guy Shoguns Prodigy was just having fun. But.....like you said....sometimes it's hard to distinguish humor from weirdness on discussion forums...
 
Looks like the days of being badass streamers have reached an end.

This is the new wave.

A lot like this, actually.

No mess, no fuss, just a pile of security surrounding him all the way out (presumably of the arena). And whether I noticed his strange looking press pass or not, I ain't no snitch.

Did him happened to be escorted out by the end of the event or the beginning? The amount of free fights he saw, shows the level of success he had. Genius level if he was taken out after main event ended

I used to sneak in at pits stops at FE races; it was really easy if you get to the event extremely early.
Yeah, I know F-e is not F1, but whatevs...

Not if he ends up with a court date. I could see counterfeiting and theft charges coming his way. He even put his face on the internet going through the process.
 
Lol my inexperienced ass worked security for a wrestling fundraiser MMA show about 10 years ago and even I didn't fall for that shit when some pompous MMA reporter wannabe chick tried flashing credentials at me lmao I got offered a security job that night as I was on the college wrestling team just volunteering. She acted as if her suit made a difference. I'm not trying to act like hot shit here, but well dressed folks shouldn't get preferential treatment in these circumstances. To be fair, I'm sure this situation wasn't as simple as mine -- perhaps the fake pass was a better fake then some BS credentials, so I'll try to tread lightly haha

Hell yeah, fake it until you make it! Hahaha. 9/10 Good job, sucks they eventually got escorted out.

I wonder if someone snitched, or someone actually noticed. I wouldn't have cared, most security are hired as one time event day jobs as far as I know. I would have been too impressed to remove them.

I am also impressed. Not just because they did it, but also because legally I am not sure how much the UFC can do besides just kick them out. UFC badges are not state, municipal, or Federal ID's. So I am not sure forgery laws would apply. They have not forged tickets, so I am not sure forgery laws would apply to that either. It is not even a fake press credential. They are not going on private property.

The other reason I really like it is because if the UFC was willing to spend the money for more unique credentials unique to each event, it would be a lot harder to get away with. But they obviously did not in that case.

It was very early on. A couple fights in, maybe. Didn't make it to the main card.
