It sounds awful to me
- Expensive (plus food and drink is expensive at the cinema)
- Are you allowed to chat to your mates about the fight etc?
- Everyone getting up every few minutes would be a pain in the arse
Expensive? Yeah it is, but for those who dont have foxtel to book it from (like me) it's a really handy option.
Chatting? Yeah i cant imagine there will be ushers ssshing you. Everyone is going to be yelling at the fight. Should be a big atmostphere.
Getting up? Cant imagine people will be moving too much around during the fights and if there are there is heaps of time mid fights to do so.

I'm giving it a go at 205. Me and two of my mates are going. We're technically over paying but none of us have foxtel so it's the best option. The benefit is locking in a comfy seat in front of a huge screen with amazing sound. UFC205 is going to be HUGE at every bar in town. The peace of mind of a guarenteed seat with perfect view is worth it for me. Some have said the food is expensive. And yeah that's true. But then bar food is too.. and try ordering it while 205 is on. At least at a cinema you can bring in outside food like Subway.
My plan is: go to a bar early for the prelims next to the cinema. Sink a few drinks, watch the fights, race over to the cinemas, grab a large coke, bring a flask of whiskey with me and enjoy the main event.
I'll see how it goes. But i'm pretty pumped.
