Fiserv Forum Thread - Full (Almost) Capacity Now

[Willie Colon]

MLS, NHL - either would be amazing, but we shouldn't get our hopes up. I highly doubt Lasry knows anything about soccer and for whatever it's worth, Phil Whittliff doesn't expect to see an NHL franchise in Milwaukee for at least another 20 years. Potential owners would also have to compensate the Blackhawks because they have some sort of an agreement with the league.

Wow forgot UFC Milwaukee is tonight, lot of exciting fights. Pretty cool Fiserv gets the last UFC event on Fox before they move to ESPN.

Anybody else notice Stubhub changed their seller fees? It went from 10 to 15% for me, and saw they may have went to variable fees where they charge seller fees of a range of 8-17% based on event, venue, etc.

Use Tickpick. It’s a million times better

It’s a 90% payout, you get the money PayPal’d to you a few days after the event. I’ve been even buying and selling tickets on it the last two years.

I took a quick look for the Pelicans game Wednesday night. Looks like they have the same tix as the other sites but do seem to be cheaper by about $10 for the handful of seats I checked. Do they have an app, if not how are the tickets sent to you?

There’s an app. The tickets are transferred to your Bucks Ticketmaster account. You get an email when you buy/sell to confirm the transfer. When sellin you click confirm twice then it gives you their name and email so you can go into your MyBucks account and transfer the tickets. It used to be even easier when you could just send them the PDF, but it’s still easy enough.

Is there good traffic on that site from a seller standpoint? I've never heard if it either.

Is 7700 good for UFC? Seems like a low number.

[trwi7]

UFC drew 7,797 last night.

This says 9,010.

It is pretty low. Similar sized arenas in the past couple years typically draw between 10,000-13,000 with some in Vegas and big cities like Toronto and Chicago drawing 17,000-20,000.

Of course a lot probably depends on the matchups. I don't know which matchups are considered must see and which ones are just meh but 9,000 is still on the low end.

[MickeyDavis]

I'd probably still go with the 7,797 number rather than the "updated" number. in either case, it's pretty low.

[FlagsFlyForever]

It was a decent card and a really bad showing by Milwaukee. Tickets were cheap for this event and dropped in price when they weren't selling and fans still didn't show up. The UFC hasn't been here in over five years and it may be longer before they return again.


For comparison, here are how the most recent UFC on FOX cards did:

UFC on FOX 31 (Milwaukee): 9,010 attendance, $616,634 gate
UFC on FOX 30 (Calgary): 10,603 attendance, $1,302,051 gate
UFC on FOX 29 (Glendale): 11,382 attendance, $1,085,712 gate
UFC on FOX 28 (Orlando): 10,124 attendance, $1,064,304 gate
UFC on FOX 27 (Charlotte): 10,249 attendance, $944,202 gate
UFC on FOX 26 (Winnipeg): 8,862 attendance, $781,359 gate
UFC on FOX 25 (Uniondale): 11,918 attendance, $1,088,332 gate
UFC on FOX 24 (Kansas City): 12,171 attendance, $1,081,193 gate
UFC on FOX 23 (Denver): 13,233 attendance, $1,020,434 gate
UFC on FOX 22 (Sacramento): 13,136 attendance, $1,238,992 gate
UFC on FOX 21 (Vancouver): 10,533 attendance, $765,482 gate

Maybe people here just don't give a **** about UFC. I know I don't.

I haven’t had a problem selling tickets at all on it in the past other than games that I couldn’t give the tickets away for free (those -20 degree January Tuesday nights lol). I used to use Stubhub as well, but changed to tickpick after hearing it advertised on podcasts over and over again and I haven’t looked back since. Seatgeek is another option as well, but I’ve never sold tickets on there.

Really bad gate for the UFC event. Card wasn't very stacked with name fighters though. Was a really good card, but more for hardcore fans than casuals.

There was interest in this event. It drew 2.2 million viewers making it the second most watched UFC event of the past two years (behind only Khabib-McGregor).

I'm just saying this card didn't have a single big name guy. It probably drew that much because it was the last FOX show before it goes to ESPN.

UFC drew 7,797 last night.

Cash runneth thin in the local market at the moment IMO. So many Fiserv Forum events in a 90-day period.
