Pay-per-view fights between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman 3 at UFC 286 in London as soon as ticket sales began, many fans were allegedly astonished by the ticket costs. Fans’ reactions to the ticket costs are as follows:
Not 4 x more than I’ve watched the heavyweight Championship of the world in boxing being contested in the same arena mate

Standard price for these same seats is £112. These are platinum seats, essentially they are charging tout prices in advance. Instead of stopping the secondary market they have flagrantly embraced it. It’s shocking as 4/5 years ago those seats were £55 flat.

— Kyle Hall (@KyleHall27) January 26, 2023
This is why a stadium like the principality made sense, sell the tickets at fight night prices (£220 for level 1 is what I paid in July) and sell 4x the amount with 80,000 seats? Shocking the prices were so high
