That doesn’t mean it’ll be an easy show to get into, though.
White House UFC seats capacity and lottery
There will be a seating capacity of 85,000 for UFC 250, but that won’t all be on the White House South Lawn.
UFC president Dana White said he expects there to be about 5,000 spectators on the South Lawn, according to the BBC, but those tickets won’t be available for purchase. About 1,000 of those tickets will be reserved for members of the military.
White added that there’ll be room for 85,000 fans to watch at a nearby park called the Ellipse.
Full details on getting the tickets have yet to be announced.
