Where do you want to sit?

First off, tix go on sale on the thursday to fight club members only, the cost of this membership is just under $100/year. Don’t quote me on numbers, but of approximately 47,000 available tix, 42 sold in 7 minutes on thursday. On friday, you get 10am newsletter access if you know the password, it was HISTORIC for 129, but always changes. What’s left goes to the general public on saturday, and is slim pickings..

You want good seats, here’s the trick.
You need the fight club membership for thursday access. You must have an account created at www.ticketmaster.ca (TM), online. Keep this fact in mind:  Ticketmaster opens at 10am local time, not EST time. If you call the toronto TM at 10am you may have a hard tim getting through. The internets poses a better option.

However you must play the time zones. Try calling Ticket Master in Halifax at 9:55am our time, as they will have been open a couple hours already since it’s (guessing) noon there. They won’t sell tix to you til 10am TO time, but the key is that you’ll have an agent on the line.  Also, select that you are french, it’s easier to get through, but they speak both languages.

When you get through at 9:55 am EST (Toronto), begin asking questions regarding another event, that is going to be playing in Nova Scotia, and have gone on sale already.  Ask about seating charts, wheelchair accessability, anything to keep the person on the line. At about 959, ask OUT OF CURIOSITY, when the UFC tix go on sale and they’ll say 30 seconds or whatever. Just say okay and continue asking about the old tickets. If you say you want UFC tix, they have to tell you to call back at 10am EST.  Wait 40 seconds and tell them you’ve changed your mind about the old tickets and now want UFC tix and they have to sell them, and you’ll soon have your pick of the litter.

Best of luck, let me know how it works for you!
