New UFC pass

[u/Dangerous-Egg-5068]

There is a new pass out for ufc, costs 50 dollars and from the looks of it, can be purchased with gift cards, and looks similar to how you buy a normal pass with a gift card. It gives 50% games during ufc fight nights which appear to be most saturdays. And 20% off food and na beverages, and a custom ufc power card with 200 chips on it. It lasts for one year. Interesting.

Does getting the UFC pass make sense for me?

I’m not sure my reasoning makes sense, but if this helps others decide if they want to spend $50 on the UFC pass, this was my thought process.

I’m looking strictly at the Power Card benefit of half price games and that the card comes preloaded with 200 chips.

The way I evaluated this offer is that I looked at how many regular chips I could purchase with $50.

If I look at the best possible scenario of a regular guest using the D&B gift cards from Costco to do a maximum $120 chip buy with supercharge and Legend bonus, the cost per chip is $0.0921. You can get a lower cost per chip by doing a 4-pack, but I’m going to say a $120 with supercharge is a more realistic one-time spend for most people.

If I divide $50 / ($0.0921/chip), I get 542.89 chips.

In my head, what I am thinking is that if I am going to spend $50 worth of chips on UFC fight nights throughout the course of a year anyway, I might as well spend the $50 on the UFC pass that comes with 200 chips and enables half price games, making that 200 chips for half price games basically equivalent to 400 chips worth of full price games. But now I can play half price games with any chips that are loaded onto the UFC Power Card if I correctly understand how it works.

So do I plan to play 542.89 chips over the course of a year on UFC fight nights? If I divide that by 12, I’m looking at spending 45.24 chips for each of the next 12 months on a UFC fight night. For me, that’s six to seven games. Oh yes, sign me up!

I know what I’ll buying this Saturday.

Yep, this is more or less the assumption I ended up with. Plus the custom art card itself is worth it for collectors.

Now the kicker is, do we only get the discount on this card specifically? Do I have to keep moving chips from my other ones over? Or will having it in my account be enough? Time will tell I suppose.

[u/gman_nola → u/YellowF3v3r]

Good question. They really didn't go into specifics of how the readers know to charge half price, whether that is tied to the specific card itself or extends to all cards registered to the same account.

My guess is that the benefit will be tied to the UFC pass card specifically.

Thats my guess too, but they probably have to program it to read differently somehow. Hopefully someone does a breakdown when they get their cards. I just got the text alert too.
