UFC VIP packages:
what is included
beyond Ringside

A UFC VIP package is a seat in the arena plus a programme around the event: seats at the weigh-in the day before, a lounge with food and drinks ahead of the fights, a separate entrance, a photo in the Octagon after the main event and, in some packages, athlete meet and greets. The seat inside a package ranges from the stands to Ringside. If the fight itself is what matters, Ringside in the front rows is enough; if the whole fight week matters, take a package.

What a package includes
01

What a UFC VIP package is

A UFC VIP package is a seat in the arena plus a programme around the event. A ticket gives you only a seat for fight night, while a package adds what happens before and after: seats at the weigh-in the day before, a lounge with food and drinks ahead of the fights, a separate entrance to the arena and a step into the Octagon after the main event. The UFC VIP programme is run by On Location, the company that works with UFC on premium access to its events.

The seat inside a package can be anything from the stands to the front rows of Ringside, and it is the seat that moves the price most. So the question is not "VIP or Ringside" but what matters more to you: the fight itself from the best spot, or the whole fight week with a programme. Seats by the cage are covered in detail in our guide to UFC Ringside seats.

What a package includes

The weigh-in. The day before the event the fighters step on the scales at the ceremonial weigh-in and face off on stage for the first time. Package guests watch from reserved seats near the stage; the higher the package, the closer the section.

A pre-fight lounge. A separate area with food and drinks. How long it runs depends on the format: at numbered and international events from doors opening to the main card, at a Fight Night about two hours. A separate entrance to the arena spares you the general queue.

The Octagon. After the main event, guests are escorted by staff into the cage where the fight has just ended, for a photo. It is something no ticket gives you, front row included.

Athlete meet and greets. Some packages include meet and greets with UFC fighters and appearances by programme guests. Specific names are not guaranteed and depend on the day and the event, and autographs are not part of the programme.

03

Package tiers

Packages are built as a ladder. The entry tier is a seat in the stands with a lounge and a separate entrance. Middle tiers add the weigh-in, closer sections and the Octagon photo. Top tiers give a Ringside seat, the best weigh-in spots and athlete meet and greets. The line-up of tiers changes from event to event: at a numbered event in Las Vegas or Abu Dhabi the programme is broader than at a Fight Night.

There are always fewer packages for an event than tickets, and the top tiers with Ringside sell out first, together with the front rows on general sale. For numbered events with title fights it is best to send a request four to six weeks ahead.

04

What nobody can guarantee

A UFC card changes until the last days: injuries, missed weight, replacement opponents. This affects everyone who buys an event, and an honest seller tells you so in advance. A ticket and a package are valid for the event, not for a specific fight, just as a meet and greet in a package is with the fighters who are at it on the day.

What we guarantee: entry to the event in the category and package you paid for. Your concierge confirms the programme for the specific night in writing before payment, and if something changes on the promoter's side, we resolve it before you arrive, not on fight night.

05

Why we know UFC nights from the inside

LuxTicket and BeFirst Sports, the team of UFC fighter Arman Tsarukyan, work within one group with a shared founder. So we know the events not from a catalogue: how the arena works on fight day, where the best view really is, where the fighters walk out and which formats exist beyond tickets and standard packages. At some events this opens options that are not on general sale, and we discuss them personally.

06

Ringside or a package: how to choose

  • The fight itself and the sound of the strikes matter most: Ringside rows 1-5, no package.
  • You want the whole Octagon in view and a programme for the night: a package with a Ringside seat in rows 6-10.
  • An event with guests or partners, where the lounge, a separate entrance and a photo in the cage matter: a mid-tier package with a seat in the stands or Ringside.
  • You want the whole fight week, from the weigh-in to the Octagon: a top-tier package.

We arrange seats and packages for UFC through the UFC hub, with the upcoming events and prices by category. Name the event, the number of guests and what matters more to you, the fight or the programme, and your concierge will confirm which packages are open for that night.

frequently asked questions

UFC VIP packages: frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions LuxTicket clients ask before choosing a package for a UFC event. The programme for a specific night depends on the promoter and is confirmed by your concierge in writing before payment.

What does a UFC VIP package include

A seat in the arena, seats at the ceremonial weigh-in the day before, a lounge with food and drinks before the event, a separate entrance to the arena and a photo in the Octagon after the main event. Some packages include athlete meet and greets. The contents depend on the package tier and the event.

How does a VIP package differ from Ringside

Ringside is a seat: chairs on the arena floor in the first ten rows from the cage. A package is a programme around the event, and the seat inside it ranges from the stands to Ringside. If only the fight matters, Ringside is enough; if the whole fight week matters, you need a package.

Is a meet and greet with a specific fighter guaranteed

No. Some packages include meet and greets with fighters, but specific names are not guaranteed and depend on the day and the event, and autographs are not part of the programme. An honest seller says so before payment.

Can I step into the Octagon after the event

Yes, in packages that include it: after the main event, guests are escorted by staff into the cage for a photo. A regular ticket, even in the front row of Ringside, does not give you that.

What happens if a fight is cancelled

A ticket and a package are valid for the event, not for a specific fight, so a replacement opponent or a cancelled bout on the card does not cancel the event. If something in the package programme changes on the promoter's side, your concierge tells you straight away and resolves it before you arrive.

How can I check a ticket reseller before buying

Start with the company register. Companies House is open, free and needs no registration: by company number it shows the status, the date of incorporation and the registered address. Lux Ticket Limited is No. 10820777, registered in 2017 at 1 Giltspur Street, London. Then look at independent reviews with dates, such as Trustpilot, and at how clearly the terms of the order are explained.

What does LuxTicket guarantee at UFC

Entry to the event in the category and package you paid for. Lux Ticket Limited (No. 10820777) considers the job done when you are in your seat and the first fight has started, and one concierge handles the order from the first message to the walkouts. Since 2017 there has not been a single case of a client paying and not getting in. A refund is our last resort: if entry still fails on our side, you get the full amount back.
