Gaethje (27-5) challenges Ilia Topuria (17-0) for the lightweight title in the main event at UFC White House on June 14. With seating arrangements being sparse for the special card, fans are wondering if the fighters’ family and friends will be allowed inside the White House.

Gaethje recently revealed that he has eight tickets for his parents and his three siblings, along with their partners, to attend the event. However, Gaethje is not sure if his family will be able to attend the entire event or whether they will only be allowed to attend his fight. Gaethje will also have his personal assistant, barber, strength and conditioning coaches, camera person, and some training partners watching the event on giant screens at the nearby Ellipse.
A Family Affair
“I’m going to have my parents there. I’m going to have my three siblings there, along with their husbands and wives. So I’m gonna have eight tickets,” Gaethje told TMZ Sports. “I’m not sure how it’s gonna work. I’m not sure if they’re gonna be able to sit down for all the fights, or it’s going to be similar to the Apex, where they’re gonna come in for my fight… Across the street at the Ellipse, I got my personal assistant, my physical therapist, my strength & conditioning coaches, my barber, my camera guy, and some of my training partners. It worked out really well, where I’m going to have all my family inside.”
There are no tickets available to the general public for the White House card. Dana White said that there will be seating arrangements for 4,300 people, mostly members of the military, on the South Lawn. There will also be ‘special packages’ available for purchase for selected elites, reportedly priced at $1 million each. Meanwhile, there will be 85,000 free tickets available for the general public to watch the event on screen at the Ellipse.
