snowman and i are hopefully going, i'll say definitely when the tickets are in my hand lol,  just waiting for ticket info to be released, or if they've already released details i can't find them

we were originally planning to go to BAMMA 7 in September which is also in Birmingham, until i heard UFC will be there in November lol.

who knows, maybe we'll be fortunate enough to do both, but i doubt it due to family/work commitments, travel, cashflow etc and if its UFC vs pretty much any other org we have over here, UFC will win everytime lol

@thiago, i'd guess anything from £35 to £50, but maybe as low as £25

UFC 120 tickets were £50, £75, £100, £125, £175 and £250, but that had Bisping and Hardy which may have led to an increase in ticket prices with their media exposure at the time and fanbase majority being over here

@r1zla.. that for upper level yes? What about the lower level seats would they be around 150-200?.. And 35-50 rounds is about what 50-75 euro?

yeah i'd say £150-200 / £100-250 is about right for lower/floor level seating

using google converter it says £35-£50 is around 40-60 EUR  (£35 = 39.78 EUR +  £50 = 56.83 EUR) ... but as i said that's only a rough guess... i'm hoping they release official details soon!

@r1zla cool man but it will be probably be around that anyway just checked out flights there would be around 150 for 2 of us for return tickets and 2 tickets would probably be around 100-120 or something and hotel for 2 nights add up about maybe 350-400 euro for the trip altogether.. Have to get my dad on board ha ha

we were hoping to travel back in the early hours avoiding the hotel costs, but we'll see how that pans out.

 the more i think about it i dunno if i wanna be standing around for hours after the event waiting for the coach, rather get my nut down for a few hours and travel the next day lol

@thiago, it depends where you stay i spose, Travelodge are usually good... says from £20 - £50 but not sure how far each hotel is away from the arena ... the link only takes you to the main page so you might have to enter the details yourself at the top of the page to see all the hotels and prices



http://www.travelodge.co.uk/search/hotels.html

(the link address doen't change after entering the details otherwise i would of posted it)

no problem, i'm looking at them myself, not that i wouldn't of tried to help if i wasn't lol

Travelodge Hotel Central, 230 Broad Street and Birmingham Central, Newhall Street seem to be closest Travelodges to the NIA

there are others that aren't Travelodge closer but they seem more expensive, if you click on the Hotel's in the list it should give you more details
