President Donald Trump has been allotted 1,000 tickets for the Freedom 250 fight card on the White House South Lawn, while UFC president Dana White says he will receive 200 tickets and TKO CEO Ari Emanuel will receive 200, according to reports by TMZ. The outlet published the details on May 18, 2026.
“There’s a lot of people who hit me up for tickets. We did invites,” White told TMZ. He added that the remainder of the limited tickets will be distributed to military personnel: “The president has 1,000. I have 200. [TKO CEO] Ari Emanuel has 200. And the rest are all going to the military. Every branch of the military will be represented at the show.”
The Freedom 250 card is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, on the South Lawn. No tickets will be sold for the historic event, which will host roughly 4,000 people within White House grounds; organizers expect many thousands more—about 85,000—seated across the way at The Ellipse.
The card features marquee matchups including Justin Gaethje vs. Ilia Topuria and Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane. Fighters visited the Oval Office to meet President Trump, speak with reporters and display a specially designed Freedom 250 title belt, TMZ reported.
Beyond the named allotments to President Trump, Dana White and Ari Emanuel, organizers have not published a full list of recipients for the remaining tickets. The White House distribution plan, per TMZ, prioritizes military representation across branches.
