I am wondering if anyone that has ever been to a UFC event in Houston can help me out. I bought 4 seats in section FLOOR D row 6 using a personal presale code for face value. I notice the seats in this section are selling for $1800 a ticket on stub hub (I paid 420 a ticket after the ridiculous 120 administration fee). Section Floor D has the most expensive tickets I have seen with some over 3 grand for row 1. As such, I am curious if that is the section that the fighters walk by before they enter the cage. Can anyone verify this for me? Thanks in advance.

I can't help you out at all, but I am damn sure jealous. I'll shoot you $420 for a ticket if you need to sell one

Never realized tix went for so much. Are those good seats in Toyota Center? I've only been there for Rox games.

Yeah my breakout for section FLOOR D Row 6 is as follows:

Tickets were $300 each
Toyota Center Admin fee was $120 per ticket
I used FlashSeats so it was free
Total was $1680 for the 4 tickets ($420 total each)

I sat ringside once, Dana White had his people pull up folding chairs right behind him for us, and it was the coolest sporting event I have ever attended. I sat next to Mandy Moore and Usher was like 3 seats away. Live UFC fights, if you are close to the ring, are the coolest events ever!

How much did you pay? I would have loved to get near that area, but I did not realize that the tickets would go so fast. It sold out in less than 3 days. I'm across from you more towards the corner.

Same price as you. I was willing to pay the $450 to sit on the floor, but the guy who is going with me didn't want to spend that much. I think I'm in row 20. I bought presell using the promo code. I could've sat anywheres. Sucks to have poor friends, lol

I can't tell you where they will enter, but I can tell you the Texans locker/dressing room and officials locker room are under Section 112. I would think that's where they will enter from.

Under Section 115/116 (by your seats) is a large area where they typically pool together bands/marshalls/performers. They could put up some temporary dressing areas here as well and have them enter from that side.

I'm pretty sure the other side of the stadium has two visitor locker rooms, but I don't think they would use these. Judging by the seating config posted earlier, It looks like they aren't allowing for an entrance on that side anyway.

Yeah, I know, same here. I'm going with my wife! She is actually pretty knowledgeable about the UFC and enjoys watching some of the big fights with me. So I don't feel so bad about paying for her ticket.

Advice. We went to UFC 69 (GSP loss to Serra). Many a tool is walking around the place? If any guy in an Affliction or TapOut shirt looks at you wrong just say hello and look back at the ring.

We must have seen 4-5 fights in the floor level. And we laughed our asses off each time. This is a sporting event so zero tolerance of course. So these guys spent $420 a ticket and up I assume and were tossed before seeing anything.
