However, fans eager to secure a seat to see two championship bouts and a stacked card at Etihad Arena on 30 October need not despair — more tickets might be available soon.

The Department of Culture and Tourism — Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), the organisers of Abu Dhabi Showdown Week, is working closely with Etihad Arena, relevant authorities and stakeholders to explore the potential to release additional tickets. Capacity requirements at the venue are currently stipulated by the Abu Dhabi Emergency Crisis and Disasters Committee’s directive for attendance at live events.
