Tips for international fans
- Presale rules favor long-term Melon subscribers, so general sale may be your first real chance. Read the Melon Ticket notice for the exact date.
- Avoid resale offers on social media, which are a common source of scams.
- Everyone leaves at once after the show. Plan your way back before you go.
- I could not find a live stream or broadcast announcement yet. Check the official MMA pages.
