RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2008 Seriously. They're seriously calling it "UFC 83: Montreal. Bitches."? Plus, MAIA~! That's actually a dope fight. Quarry/Starnes ain't half bad either. And FRANKLIN?! Boys, we've got ourselves a SHOW. If only it had SHOGUN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2008 From someone on the UG. Here is what I was quoted. Floors and lower part of first section. $600 Middle part of first section (yellow in the seating map) $500. Top part of first section (green) $300. Balcony $200. Upper balcony ranging from $50 to $100. From several friends I have who have been to UFCs, the consensus is the best seats are the $300 ones if you can get them in the sections closest to the octagon (Sections 101, 102, 112-114 and 124 on this seat map). If you get floors and the fight is on the other side of the octagon, you can't see anything and that close it is hard to see the big screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 Given the QAC's history, Goulet would probably still win after getting KO'd. Something about the ref stopping the fight to check Hironakas hand, saying the fight cannot continue, and going to the judges cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 For some reason, I was expecting the seats would be a lot cheaper. I mean, 100 bucks for the rafters? Yikes. No Montreal trip for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 This event will be now be called UFC 83: Middleweight Love-Fest as Bisping vs Charles McCarthy is a go for this show which makes the card completed. GSP/Serra Franklin/Lutter Stout/Clementi Bocek/Danzig Hironaka/Goulet MacDonald/Doerkson Starnes/Quarry Bisping/McCarthy Ed Herman vs Demian Maia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 For some reason, I was expecting the seats would be a lot cheaper. I mean, 100 bucks for the rafters? Yikes. No Montreal trip for me. You're not thinking long term here. It's probably worth it. I mean, I paid $250 to practically sit in the upper deck at a Wrestlemania once and that was when I was a poor college student (aka $250 = months worth of beer) but it was worth every penny. How often are you going to get the chance to see UFC live? Half the PPVs are in Vegas and they are increasingly moving to more and more locations meaning that if they come to your neck of the woods it's what? Once a year or less? I don't know what your financial situation is but even though it might seem like a lot at first, it's worth thinking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like Mik, I don't know how you're set up financially but if you've got a rewards credit card you may want to see if you've got the points for a free room (I'm probably using my SPG points for a family trip to Vegas. Hmm, taking a 4 month old to Sin City... pretty sure that's never a good idea...). If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one (the cards compared are all no fee Canadian credit cards) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one (the cards compared are all no fee Canadian credit cards) Thing is, Vegas is a much cheaper trip for me than Montreal. The flight alone to Montreal is a good $800, probably more with tax. I'm paying half of that (probably less) for Vegas. Then dropping the 200-300 bucks for a ticket isn't so bad. Of course, Montreal + GSP sounds like it will be an amazing atmosphere...but it doesn't look like I'll be going. Vegas is much easier and cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 Looked at your "From" part finally. Yeah, Van City to Montreal would be a tad expensive unless you've got like 30,000 Aeroplan miles. Not cheap... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 Holy crap this is insane. 6000 people were online @ noon, Ticketmaster was fucking swamped - no one expected that turn out for the pre-pre sale. Tickets for the general public are going to be astronomical. Prolly 14000 by the end of today sold. This is insane. Montreal. For real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
