Of the 14,832 total tickets, 11,242 were sold, and 3,590 were complimentary and given away.

Although initially announced as a sold-out event, the CSAC reports that 15,572 tickets were available, and 740 went unsold/unused. The majority of those "deadwood" tickets were from the $200 (352 tickets) and $100 (248)sections.

Among the event's 3,590 complimentary tickets, most were for the cheapear seating areas, including the $150 (1,079), $100 (822) and $50 (652) sections. Ticket prices ranged from $45 to $1,000.

So how do Affliction's total attendance (14,832), paid attendance (11,242) and live gate ($2,085,510) figures stack up to the competition?

Here are how three recent UFC events at the Honda Center fared:

UFC 76: 13,770 tickets (11,817 paid) for a $1,985,000 gate

UFC 63: 12,604 tickets (9,343 paid) for a $1,582,370 gate

UFC 59: 13,814 tickets (13,060 paid) for a $2,191,450 gate

It's definitely too early to say for sure, but it looks as though there might be a comparable sheriff in town. At the very least, I expect Affliction to have a second show.
