Earlier this month, the Ultimate Fighting Championship confirmed that a highly-anticipated bout would be going down at UFC 229 in Las Vegas on Oct. 6. Former lightweight champion Conor McGregor will be making his long-awaited return to the Octagon when he takes on current lightweight titleholder Khabib Nurmadomdov at T-Mobile Arena.
While we are still months away from the bout, the excitement is building and that will only ramp up this week when UFC 229 tickets officially go on sale.
On Tuesday, Aug. 14, the UFC announced that tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday at 10:00 a.m. PT. On Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. PT, UFC Fight Club members will have their chance to snag tickets from an exclusive pre-sale. Thursday, also at 10:00 a.m. PT, it will be UFC.com e-newsletter subscribers who will have their opportunity to scoop up pre-sale tickets before they are on sale to the general public.
Ticket prices are expected to range from $205 for upper-level end zone seats to $2,505 for floor seats. Anything in the center of the lower bowl will cost at least $1,005, according to the official ticket price listing.
The UFC 229 main card will air on pay-per-view, with preliminary bouts on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Along with the main event between Nurmagomedov and McGregor, other bouts currently scheduled include Sergio Pettis vs. Jussier Formiga, Michelle Waterson vs. Felice Herrig, Ovince Saint Preux vs. Dominick Reyes, Ryan LaFlare vs. Tony Martin, and Lina Lansberg vs. Yana Kunitskaya.
