If for some reason you can't get the seats you want for UFC 83: "Serra vs. St. Pierre II' (or any for that matter) on April 19 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, then it's more than likely because you're not a UFC Fight Club member.
Last night, the organization sent around an email to newsletter subscribers, informing them that the traditional presale was not going to happen because most of the tickets for UFC 83 have already been purchased.
Here's a snip:
"Due to incredible demand, nearly all of the tickets to UFC® 83: SERRA vs. ST-PIERRE 2 have been purchased by members of UFC® Fight Club in its exclusive presale which started on Sunday.... The UFC® organization is honored to welcome so many of its most devoted fans to the event that night.... Because of the unprecedented size of this presale, the normal UFC® Newsletter Presale will not take place."
According to the bulletin, a "limited" number of UFC 83 tickets will be opened up to the general masses this Friday (February 8 ) at 12 p.m. ET. However, based on everything that has already happened, it doesn't seem like those will last too long, either.
In fact, a ton of tickets for the first-ever UFC event in Canada are already up on eBay for some ridiculous prices.
UFC 83: "Serra vs. St. Pierre II" tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or StubHub.com (IMPORTANT NOTE: StubHub often has seats available even if the event is "sold out.")
There are some solid match ups already confirmed for this card, including a welterweight rematch between current champion, Matt Serra, and interim titleholder and Canadian posterboy, Georges St. Pierre.
In addition, former middleweight champion Rich Franklin will loook to get back on track against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 4 winner, Travis Lutter.
It's going to be a great night that will showcase a large amount of Canadian talent.
Stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime check out the latest UFC 83 fight card right here.
