The highly anticipated UFC 300 is approximately seven weeks away, and fans are already discontent due to the reported presale ticket prices. The monumental pay-per-view event is scheduled to rock the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 13.
UFC 300 showcases a plethora of high-profile matchups, with Alex Pereira defending his light heavyweight championship against Jamahal Hill in the main event. Meanwhile, Zhang Weili is set to put her strawweight title on the line against fellow Chinese star Yan Xiaonan in the co-main event.
With a constellation of star fighters on the fight card, it's hardly a shock that tickets for this event will command a premium.

According to his recent report, Fight Club presale indicates upper bowl seats ranging from $600 to $750, while lower bowl seats are priced between $1250 and $2500. As for ringside seats, expect to shell out a hefty $3000 for a prime spot around the octagon.
