Mark your calendars everyone! Tickets for UFC 86: JACKSON vs. GRIFFIN will go on sale for the general public on Saturday, April 12 at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time and will be priced at $50, $100, $200, $300, $500, $800. The event will be held at Mandalay Bay Events Center on Saturday, July 5, 2008.

For those that never been to a live event before, the $300 tickets are about half the distance to the octagon (from the back wall). If $300 is too pricey for you, I strongly recommend that you put in $74.99 for a UFC Fight Club membership. As a UFC Fight Club member like myself, you will get to buy tickets to this event three days earlier on Wednesday, April 9 at 10am Pacific Standard Time via Ticketmaster. The thing is, by the time the tickets are open to the general public, all the $50 and $100 seats would be sold out. (Trust me, I know this from experience) The main benefit of membership is VIP access to weigh-ins and autograph sessions. Also note that VIP status is +1, meaning that your best bud can tag along without a membership. You can sign up for the UFC Fight Club when you purchase your tickets on Ticketmaster.

If $74.99 is still too pricey for you, you should sign up for the UFC Newsletter. Simply register here or at www.ufc.com and you get to buy tickets a day earlier on Friday, April 11 starting at 10am Pacific Standard Time.
