UFC fans looking to attend the upcoming UFC London event are facing eye-watering ticket prices, with some seats costing nearly £2,000.
A detailed comparison by Genting Casino with other major sporting and entertainment events reveals just how extreme these prices are, even surpassing the cost of Premier League season tickets and Taylor Swiftʼs record-breaking Eras Tour.
Staggering Costs for UFC London Tickets Ticket data gathered from Ticketmaster and AXS on 19 and 20 February 2025 highlights the steep prices:
The most expensive ticket available: £1,950.13 (Section A3 on AXS)
Average ticket price: £484.36
Median ticket price: £392.60
Cheapest ticket: £236.25 (Section 442 on AXS)
A comparison with other upcoming UFC events shows that London fans are paying a premium:
While Miami’s UFC event is pricier, London’s costs remain significantly higher than Mexico City and Seattle.
Premier League Season Tickets Cheaper Than UFC London
For the cost of a UFC London ticket, fans could instead secure a Premier League season ticket at several top clubs:
- West Ham’s cheapest season ticket: £345
- Brentford’s cheapest season ticket: £495
- Manchester City’s cheapest season ticket: £425
In comparison, the average UFC London ticket (£484.36) is more expensive than a full season of Premier League football at multiple clubs.
Matchday Ticket Comparison
For those preferring single-game experiences, the cheapest matchday tickets at all seven London-based Premier League clubs total just £279.30, meaning fans could attend a game at every major club in the capital for significantly less than a single UFC London ticket.
UFC London vs. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour
For music fans, UFC ticket prices also outpace entertainment events. The average amount spent on a Taylor Swift Eras Tour ticket is £206 - meaning a fan could attend two Taylor Swift concerts for less than a single UFC London ticket.
Projected Costs by 2040
If ticket prices continue to rise at the 2024 annual inflation rate of 3.9%, UFC London ticket prices could reach staggering amounts:
- By 2030: £586.47 (average), £475.37 (median)
- By 2035: £710.11 (average), £575.58 (median)
- By 2040: £859.81 (average), £696.92 (median)
With rising costs, attending UFC London could soon become an elite-only event, pricing out everyday fans.
A spokesperson for Genting Casino said: “The current pricing structure raises questions about affordability and accessibility for UFC fans in the UK.
“With ticket prices already surpassing Premier League season tickets and major entertainment events, the cost of attending live UFC events may become unsustainable for many.”
