Ultimate Fighting Championship’s White House show, you might
want to be sitting down.
At the UFC White House card on June 14, approximately 4,000 to
4,500 individuals will be able to attend in the newly constructed
arena built for this event alone. It will be held on the White
House lawn, with stands for seating and a giant framework overhead
for lighting and possibly rain protection in the event of inclement
weather. Some have hailed the structure, which was seen being put
together in Pennsylvania, as something reminiscent of a roller
coaster.
The promotion has said it will be spending around $30 million of
its own money to run this event, reportedly without assistance from
the government. Public seating will not be available, although
there will be limited opportunities for fans to win contests and
earn tickets. Otherwise, those seats will be specifically sold by
the UFC in conjunction with the White House, with the expectation
of businesspeople, politicians, celebrities and foreign dignitaries
likely in attendance. Additionally, the UFC is offering an enhanced
package it is calling a “partner investment,” which has a price
unlike any ticket the UFC has ever sold.
The price
As revealed by Uncrowned
on Wednesday, the money coming in for each ticket will be
distributed to various parties. The White House and/or President
Donald Trump will receive part of the proceeds, the UFC and its
parent company of TKO take their standard percentage, and some of
it will go “to the troops.” This all gets turned up to 11 when the
“partner investment” is involved.
Those that purchase these VIP packages will be given a special
welcome reception solely for those members as well as UFC and White
House figures. They will have reserved seating for the pre-fight
press conference as well as the ceremonial weigh-ins. Partners will
be given all-access passes to events on June 13, the day before the
fights, which will include a concert put on by country musician
Zac
Brown. They will also receive cageside seats for UFC 329 on
July 11 in Las Vegas, which may be headlined by Conor
McGregor vs. Max
Holloway 2. Finally, they will have an additional arrangement
for a future WWE event.
The cost of this package? $1.5 million.
