The Islam Makhachev vs Arman Tsarukyan rematch headlines this stellar UFC 311 pay-per-view card for the UFC Lightweight Title. The fight goes down at the Intuit Dome in the early hours of Sunday, January 19 (GMT) for UK MMA fans – but just how much are UFC 311 tickets to buy exactly?
How Much Do UFC 311 Tickets Cost?
The Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California takes centre stage as the UFC are in town for their latest numbered card. UFC 311 sees a mammoth fight in the main event – with the UFC Lightweight Title belt on the line for the Islam Makhachev vs Arman Tsarukyan rematch.
The 155-pound bout between the champion, Islam Makhachev, and the challenger, Arman Tsarukyan, of course headlines UFC 311. There are plenty of stellar fights too on the undercard including some big names and potential stars of the future.
The Intuit Dome has a rough capacity of 18,000, with ticket prices ranging from low to high. Tickets for UFC 311 in fact range from as little as $402, right up to as much as $22,253, according to TickPick.
The cheapest $402 tickets for UFC 311 are of course the furthest away from the octagon, up at the top of the arena. The most expensive tickets are the inner octagon-side ones right beside the cage and ring walk track, which are priced at a maximum of $22,253.
These ticket prices are rather expensive, which is one huge criticism of Dana White and the UFC. Their ticket prices are extortionate, even compared to the average price of PPV boxing tickets.
The average price for UFC 311 tickets at the Intuit Dome on January 18 equates to roughly $2,120. Although UFC 311 tickets are still highly expensive, this is far cheaper than some of their most notable pay-per-views in the past.
In saying that, UFC 311 tickets are far more expensive than the UFC’s last PPV event at UFC 310, where Alexandre Pantoja retained his UFC Flyweight Title. On that occasions, the average ticket price was over $310. This was far cheaper than UFC 309 – which had an average ticket price of $1,800.
How Does The UFC 311 Ticket Price Compare To Previous UFC PPV Events?
These ticket prices are pretty expensive in general, but not compared to other pay-per-view events by the UFC’s standard. However, you could argue that the UFC are such a big brand in MMA now that they can charge more or less whatever price they want.
Not to mention the fact that this card is at the Intuit Dome – one of the most prestigious places for a fight night in the entire US today. The California venue has played host to several big-time boxing and MMA events of late, hence why tickets are expensive.
UFC 310 was the last UFC pay-per-view, headlined by Alexandre Pantoja vs Kai Asakura. On that occasions, tickets were deemed extortionately expensive for the flyweight bout at the T-Mobile Arena. However, UFC 309 tickets before that were even more expensive than the last PPV show by quite some distance.
Ticket prices for standard UFC Fight Night cards range from around $120 dollars, up to $2,500. This is of course far less than UFC pay-per-view ticket prices, but is still quite expensive if you are a fan wanting to watch UFC as a hobby. The UFC as a business are certainly making a fortune through ticket sales.
