Fight fans from around Australia and the world can secure their spot at UFC 293 in Sydney when tickets go on sale on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper today joined UFC Executive Vice President David Shaw at Qudos Bank Arena to announce on-sale dates for tickets to the highly anticipated event on 10 September at which the UFC Middleweight crown will go on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC 293 is expected to be a sell-out event, providing a boost to the NSW visitor economy and delivering Sydney valuable global exposure as a tourist and major events destination through UFC\u2019s huge global audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC 293 will be the first of 3 Pay Per View events to be held in Sydney over the next 4 years, as part of a first-time agreement between UFC and the NSW Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 3 UFC Pay Per View events are anticipated to inject more than $30 million into the state\u2019s visitor economy over the 4-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hosting the UFC in Sydney gives NSW exposure to 900 million households watching around the world, all potential future visitors to the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC 293 will mark the return of the world\u2019s premier mixed martial arts organisation to Sydney for the first time since 2017 and is the first mega Pay Per View event to be held here since 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tickets will be available for purchase for the public from 12pm Friday 28 July via Ticketek. Fight Club members will be able to buy tickets from 12pm Wednesday 26 July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
