Do they actually expect people to show up for this?
Cheapest seat is ~$56 after service charges. If there were a couple more decent fights on the card, I might have considered going (or if tickets were much much cheaper). But even if they had hypothetically had Marquardt/Woodley on this card, I don't think my interest would have been piqued.
Hopefully it's a fun card. Probably will DVR it and watch after the Chargers preseason game. Just realized that they're going against the Chargers and a Giants/Padres game locally. That probably hurts ticket demand even more.

Wow, those are UFC prices. Similar seats were $30 face value in Columbus. I'd certainly go to this event for that price, but $45 face value is pushing it.

SF needs to get their **** together, they have had better fights on their last couple under cards. They have little depth & should know that. Instead they waste some of their better talent on under cards that get very low #s (Healy, Hirota, masvidel, Mein etc).

$56 after service charges is definitely not "UFC prices".
I don't know what people expect for prices. I've seen local level shows filled with mostly amateurs that are 35-45 bucks a ticket. Obviously a card with some actual MMA talent will cost you.
