US OPEN Spectator Seating

All seating for the Friday and Saturday's Eliminations are General Admission. A Free Event Program will be available which will indicate what ring each division will be held in. There will be several rows of seating surrounding each and every competition ring. Those seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. All spectator passes provide admission to Saturday night's spectacular "Night of Champions". Most people prefer to purchase a "Reserved Seat" for the Night of Champions (this can be done for as little as $5.00 more!). These reserved seat passes include general admission to all other US OPEN competition events (see spectator pass prices below).

Important Information About Purchasing US OPEN Spectator Passes

If you are competing in the US OPEN, you do not need to purchase a spectator pass. However, you may choose to "upgrade" your complimentary "Night of Champions" General Admission Pass to a Reserved Seat simply by paying the difference. This can be easily accomplished through on-line competitor registration.
If you will be attending the US OPEN and wish to purchase SPECTATOR PASSES only (no one in your family or travel group will be competing), simply select the "SPECTATORS" link on the Registration page.
If you will be attending the US OPEN with someone who will be competing, you should purchase your spectator passes on-line at the same time. Ordering your spectator passes in this way will result in having your spectator passes available in the same package as the competitor materials when you arrive for the event.
If you will be purchasing Reserved Seat Passes for the spectacular "Night of Champions" and will be traveling with someone who is competing, please be sure to "upgrade" the competitors complimentary general admission pass to the same level of reserved seat that you will have so that you may all sit together (If the Competitor Registration, Reserved Seat Passes and Competitor Seating Upgrade is all done at the same time through on-line Competitor Registration, all of the reserved seats for the Night of Champions will be together).

Martial Artists Fighting Hunger Plans Events

Still in the early planning stages, three food drives to benefit the Florida Association of Food Banks will be held. MAFH will host events that bring martial arts schools together while collecting canned goods for needy families. All events will benefit local food banks in Central Florida, Tampa and South Florida. All food collected in an area will remain in that area. With the number of people accessing food banks skyrocketing and the funding available decreasing, they hope to unite the martial arts community one can at a time.

All martial arts schools are invited to participate. Contact them thorough MartialArtistsFightingHunger@gmail(dot)com.
