After initially donating 300 tickets, Tickets For Troops are delighted that The Mixed Martial Arts Show Live have pledged further support for our Armed Forces by donating another 300 tickets to this fantastic event over the weekend of May 12th and 13th at the NEC in Birmingham, taking the total amount of tickets to 600.
The initial 300 tickets proved immensely popular and were all taken up by troops within two days, prompting The MMA Show to double the amount available through the charity.
Mixed Martial Arts has strong ties within the Armed Forces and one of the fighters attending The MMA Show Live is BAMMA British Middleweight Champion, Jack Marshman, who is a serving member of the Armed Forces.
Jack Marshman said "It's fantastic that the MMA Show Live have partnered with Tickets for Troops to make 600 tickets available. MMA is hugely popular in the forces and I'm sure the troops that have been serving their country in hostile territory will really appreciate the gesture. It will really help the sport continue to grow. I always get great support from all the military whenever I fight, so I can't wait to host a training session there and say thanks to some of the people that watch and support me."
The MMA Show Live is an interactive fan experience dedicated to mixed martial arts from around the World. Populating a second hall at the NEC in Birmingham alongside The Martial Arts Show Live, The MMA Show Live will consist of five training areas where some of the biggest names in the business will host special group training sessions, a huge stage & screen for Q&A sessions, an autograph zone where fans can meet their favourite fighters and exhibition stands where some of the biggest brands in MMA will be selling merchandise and much, much more.
