UFC implements new ticket policy for friends and family of fighters at APEX events

The UFC has implemented a new policy for friends and family members of fighters attending events at the UFC APEX.

www.mmafighting.com

In a memo sent to fighters and managers on Tuesday by UFC Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell:

Fighters competing on an APEX card will receive “four seats for friends and family TO WATCH THEIR FIGHT ONLY” beginning with Saturday’s UFC Vegas 90 event.

Once that fighter’s bout comes to an end, a new group of people will replace them for the next bout.

“Following the bout, your guests will be ESCORTED OUT of APEX,” Campbell stated. “This practice will be in effect for all events at UFC APEX going forward.”

Lol apparently the families only get to stay for their relative's fight and then they have to leave as soon as it's over, that's weak.

Askren's family attending the Masvidal fight & getting immediately escorted out if it happened in the Apex:

"Family Friendly"

They should maximize the amount of seats they can have in the space and let normal fans in. It shouldn't be about making money but improving the atmosphere. It's pathetic that so many fighters have to fight in an empty warehouse.

Was going to say 4 tickets per fighter would be over capacity of the apex, till I saw the only being good for one fight. Lol.

now we're going to have to listen to obnoxious family members yelling like crazy

insert Alvarez wife etc

It used to have small crowds, not sure what happened to that, people will still pay good money to attend those shit cards.

Yeah, even these poor cards could sell 1-2k seats easily. They should absolutely look into upgrading to add more. At least it would have a little atmosphere,

Family fun!

Is there a family discount for Forrest's hotdog stand?

 

[FeelingFroggy]

For a second there, I thought more family friendly meant they were going to ban all the racist sexist drunk freaks and goons, but then I thought, that's the main audience....

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Do they also get a one time 50% off Venum coupon?

What I love about the Apex is the ability the hear strikes landing better. However, Pride was way better even with huge audiences. Why is that? I think I read that they had mics placed near the ring. Is this the case? Big crowds doesn't matter for me when im watching at home, so I think cards at thr Apex has it's charm if used correctly.

 

[FriskyRandy]

Is it not common sense they should be able to get at least 4 tickets? Wtf was happening before.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Why can I only like on mobile and not use the other emojis like on PC?

Hoping for some freaky fast finishes

 

[Last Falconry]

why would you travel to some place to watch one fight and then be shepherded out like a shoplifter? moronic

 

[Pechan]

So they couldn't bring the family before without paying and now the family have to leave after the bout?

Billion dollar company.

 

[skylolow]

That is better than before as my understanding was many fighters fighting couldn't even get friend or families into the Apex to watch. It was very select few that got to view the Apex event.
