971FC Founder, Mounir Lazzez, said:
“We knew excitement was high, but what’s happened in the last 24 hours has been incredible.” 

 

“Since we announced yesterday that the event is completely sold out—my phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Friends, family, strangers—everyone looking for a way in. We’ve spent the whole day on the phone with the team at Coca-Cola Arena, and thanks to their incredible support, we’ve managed to unlock a very limited number of extra seats. These tickets are now live through Coca-Cola Arena directly—but when they’re gone, they’re gone.

 

“Through our incredible media partners we’re expecting over 100 MILLION eyes on the action this weekend – WOW! And we’re ready to show them what we’re made of.

 

So please—don’t call me if you miss out. This is it. Your last chance to be there, live, in the middle of the action on Saturday night.”

 

The final remaining tickets are now on sale and available to purchase on the Coca-Cola Arena’s official website. But, when they’re gone, they’re gone! So don’t miss your chance to be ringside for all the action at Dubai’s biggest combat sport event of the year!
