UFC tickets surge for Conor McGregor’s Las Vegas return with one option more than $24,000

General public tickets have gone on sale for Conor McGregor’s UFC return and prices are predictably extortionate.

McGregor is booked to face Max Holloway for the second time in the main event of UFC 329, with Paddy Pimblett facing Benoit Saint Denis in the chief support act.

The 37-year-old, who hasn’t fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, defeated Holloway on points in just his second UFC fight in 2013.

The Irishman has since embarked on arguably the most historic rise in combat sports history, becoming the first athlete to hold two UFC titles simultaneously when he knocked out Eddie Alvarez in 2016.

In the years following his second consecutive defeat to Poirier, McGregor has teased his comeback several times.

Many fans thought McGregor’s return was dead in the water when he missed out on a fight at the UFC White House card on June 14, until UFC CEO Dana White made it official.

And those who wish to attend McGregor’s comeback fight, and potentially his last, will have to fork out a pretty penny.

How much are tickets for McGregor’s UFC return?

Presale for McGregor vs Holloway 2 took place during the week, meaning a limited number of tickets are left.

According to official ticket partner AXS, fans can choose from standard, premium, accessible and VIP tickets at the T-Mobile Arena.

The cheapest tickets cost a hefty $1,822.59 in the upper section, while VIP offers are available from $3,500.

The most expensive tickets currently available are $24,600 each for seats on the floor.

Other floor seats range between $7,380 and $15,990, with Bud Light lounge access tickets available at $6,772.38 in the mid-section.

Here comes the money

It’s no surprise how expensive the tickets are, given McGregor fights make up the top five highest-selling UFC pay-per-views (PPV) of all time.

He also features eight times in the top ten for all-time PPV buys.

Of course, the UFC no longer operates in the PPV model, having signed a $7.7billion seven-year broadcast deal with CBS and Paramount+ that began on January 1, 2026.

This means that fighters no longer get paid based on PPV points, something McGregor would’ve greatly benefited from in his heyday.

McGregor’s boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather is the highest-grossing fight in T-Mobile Arena history.

That event generated a live gate of $55.4m.
