The tickets are for viewing from the ellipse, a park nearby, not actually being at the white house. Its a venue thats been used in the past for viewing whitehouse events

The Washington DC Ellipse (part of President’s Park) can accommodate large-scale events, with recent estimates and permitted events hosting crowds ranging from approximately 40,000 to over 85,000 people. While police estimated roughly 52,000 for a campaign rally in late 2024, organizers for a 2026 event announced plans to ticket 85,000 attendees
you are probably right but 85,000 people in the Rose Bowl to watch on a screen , LOL

It’s not like that, from what I gather the white House lawn is visible from this park. Probably elevated.
It’s been used in the past for this purpose.
I’m not sure what you guys are taking about but from what I read and thought this is going to be on white house lawn.
Are they going to build any seating or is everyone just going to have lawn chairs with everyoen sitting at the same level on the grass?
what is that?
So according to chatgpt basically these people will be watching screens?
I dont get it.
1. The actual fights (small crowd)
The UFC plans to build a temporary octagon on the South Lawn of the White House.
-
Only about 3,000–5,000 people can actually sit there because of space and Secret Service security.
-
They will install temporary seating/bleachers around the cage.
-
The White House lawn simply isn’t big enough for a stadium.
So the real live audience is pretty small.
2. The 85,000 people (fan viewing area)
The big number comes from a separate viewing area nearby.
-
The UFC plans to put large screens in “The Ellipse,” a large park just south of the White House.
-
Up to ~85,000 fans can stand or sit in the park watching the fight on giant screens.
-
It will be more like a huge outdoor watch party, not seats around the cage.

I would love to go to this. Has he announced how to get tickets yet?
A cockfight on the White House lawn is not gonna help Trump win the midterms. I’m a Trump supporter but the optics look really bad here. Spending money on a cockfight instead of on the American people
I bet the secret service is ecstatic

Years ago BLAF would’ve given those tickets out on the UG for a Photoshop contest…. Good times.
