At the end of June, the UFC 303 event will officially take place. According to UFC, this is the event with the highest ticket sales of all time of the tournament history. UFC 303 recorded ticket sales of more than 20 million USD. This is the number beyond the expectations of the organizers.
The main reason for the attractive UFC 303 is due to the return of Conor McGregor. After 3 years of competition, “scandalous guy” officially re -exported. He will confront Michael Chandler in Welterweight. The possibility of McGregor returning to the peak period is not much, but he is still a favorite face.
The ticket price to see UFC 303 is also considered the most expensive compared to other major events. The tickets in a beautiful location are sold for about 12,000 USD. A relatively difficult seating seat is also sold at 700-2,500 USD, but is still sold out by the organizers right after the sale.
UFC's previous ticket sales record is also an event with McGregor. It was UFC 205, when McGregor defeated the Eddie Alvarez champion with the victory in the second half to win the Lightweight weight belt. Ticket sales were announced by UFC at that time was 17.7 million USD.
In the 10 events with the highest ticket sales of UFC, the name McGregor appeared at the top 4 events. The rare faces can reach the same level of love equivalent to the “scandalous guy” including Alex Pereira, Israel Adesanya, Jon Jones and Sean O'Malley.
