News UFC implementing new APEX ticket policy to be more "family friendly" atmosphere, begins this weekend

Family friendly

Meanwhile

Why are there APEX fights at all?

It's embarrassing.

Nah Apex cards are more immersive and it wouldn’t make sense financially to have every card in a live arena that needs to be booked especially with all the staff required.

Family Night, Dana will slap your wife and kids.

Fuck me running, the Apex is shit and is ruining the UFC experience for most people, which includes myself.

I know @HI SCOTT NEWMAN loves it though.

They were doing arena's before Covid. It's just greed, that's the only reason they are still at the Apex. 90% of the fans and fighters would rather a crowd, you're the odd man out.

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.

They are getting paid
They are in the ufc
More people watch the fight online


I’m not seeing the issue here .....

Omg they don’t get a million fans. They fought in bigger shows before they made it to the ufc. They will be fine

 

[Poirierfan]

Does this mean I can’t show up in blackface with confederate flag rims on my wheelchair anymore?

I'll talk to the boss and see if I can make it happen for ya.

So... like an A's baseball game

@helax @Revolver

The A’s aren’t even this petty, now that’s saying something lol

 

[Siver!]

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:

Ultimate Fighting Audiences!

I hope if some of them do really well at generating an atmosphere, they potentially get a 'bonus' such as staying put a little longer, that should spice things up!

Competitive audiencing, I love it!

"Squatters" gonna be a problem?

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Why wouldn't you make it a 1000 seat capacity and use scaffold style seating that can be erected as needed.

hmm...imo, seems like they want to limit seats for regular people.. have a section of 8 seats just for the fighters..

and the rest of the seats are for rich/connected folks who want to be close to fighters, and get camera time. Basically more money coming in for the UFC building.

 

[ferrisjso]

If anyones been to a WNBA game back when they used to play at NBA arenas scarcely attended sporting events are the best live sports has to offer.

Probably everyone who attends Apex events loves them to death. Thats just the reality of the situation.

 

[Poirierfan]

Because they don't care and they won't care until they start losing viewership, or if ESPN drops them.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

That’s some low-budget money saving bullshit LoL

 

[FreedomCricket]

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....

Wtf?
