I saw an ad for Ultra Comedy and was intrigued so signed up. There were a few things from the very beginning that made me a bit wary. Immediately after signing up, I received two emails and a text message pressuring me to get set up with a just giving page and start raising money - all before attending the first lesson to see if I was even going to like it in the first place. Already I was beginning to suspect that these people cared more about the money than the experience of those doing the fundraising.

Another day passed and I received a text telling me to respond if I was able to attend the registration. I did respond, but I also made it clear that I wasn't committing to anything until I determine if I was going to enjoy it. No response. After getting peppered with comms over 2 days, I have now been met with silence.

I did some more digging, found these positive review stuffing and a lot of negative reviews confirming my suspicions. I found the original ad and some comments were there confirming that it's just a big cash-grab scheme disguised as charity fundraising. I'm glad I trusted my gut before going any further than I did. It also explains why I got no reply, clearly I wasn't like their usual "easy marks" and I was just going to make their jobs too difficult

BUYER BEWARE!!!
The event I'd booked was rescheduled, but there was terrible comms around this, but then I was unable to attend the new date, but I can't get a refund, just a barrage of excuses but no money back! Said they'd made policy clear at purchase; they hadn't!
Very aggressive customer service (if you could call it that)!
Really poorly organised events and awful after service. Not a reputable company, not even registered with STAR as ticket sellers should be!!
So be warned, if you buy from this company, you may well end up out of pocket with no event to go to!!!

Went to a boxing event in Newark. £500 for a vip table, which was beyond ridiculous two picnic tables put together and rusty chairs that one of them couldn’t even be used.
They kept the room hot so people would just buy drink after drink. VIP table had table service but you had to pay a service fee with each order considering it was £500 plus admin fee of £30 on top and then to pay service charge: the drinks were vile.
Spectators fighting between themselves and well the security couldn’t manage a nursery playgroup it really was poor and all they wanted was more money. White collar and dress codes well, I would like to know who was monitoring that because let’s say it was more like a scene from a Benidorm night out.
We had a family member boxing and that was good as the training and the premise of the event was good. Overall really poor over expensive evening and could have had so much more effort put in.

ULTRA MMA Manchester, Do not be fooled; they disguise being about charity, but all they really care about is cash for themselves. It's why they remove people from events if they don't sell as many tickets as they would like.
Got removed, even though the event still 3 weeks ahead after been attended training for long distance. Very toxic the way they runs it, especially the MMA coach who's values money rather than people to teach or share experience to.
Especially for a dumb price as well, plus they expect people taking part to do the ticket selling, which is ludicrous.

I was about to sell 14 tickets, but got removed because the organisers are rushy and rational.

They have been painted as "Charity" but in fact, they are just modern day scammers.

Absolutely Loved the Experience. Would Highly Recommend. To anyone else who is thinking about it, Do it.

Great event, had a brill time with family and friends. Easy steps to buy tickets.

People don’t believe or trust these new positive reviews. They are from the organiser himself, along with his friends and colleagues. The positive reviews are not genuine.

Fantastic events and very well organised the medical procedures in place is far better than any boxing event I have ever attended.

I found the site really user friendly, and the service fantastic! The event itself was amazing and really well organised.

Have bought tickets for a few different events through Ultra tickets and Was super easy to do. Found it really easy to follow the options and enjoyed the events that followed. 10/10

Been to a few of these events over the years and used Ultratickets for my mates last event and will use again for next one, easy to use site and no issues with bookings.

Amazing website, easy to use

Went to a boxing show and a Funky Bingo event recently. Easy to use and when I had to change my ticket order the team were really helpful

I have been to a few of these events to support friends as well as events ran by other organisers and I’ve got to say ultra events are amazing. They are always well organised and a great night out and worth the price of the ticket, especially when you compare them to other boxing shows about. I have always really enjoyed my night at the event and would go again

I have been to watch a few of these events and taken part & I think they are great.

The training is free so we had to get some friends to get tickets, all seemed very reasonable.

I would 100% recommend.

Absoulte joke of a company. The fact that they have not replied to 90% of these 1 star poor reviews tells it's own story.

The worst organised event for Birmingham. Just been told the video didn't work and we were not allowed, to get someone to video it but was told our friends could makes no sense. We raised enough money on ticket sales to be able to afford for the event to be recorded on something better than a gopro that now we find out didn't work.

I am appalled at this company. On 06/07/2024 I boxed at Gateshead. To start with, the rounds were cut short to 90 second rounds. What I am really upset about is what happened because I believe my opponent was getting beat, he decided to grab hold of me and lift me in the air and then spine bust me through the canvas which in boxing is prohibited (See images attached). I banged my head firmly against the canvas leaving me concussed for days unable to continue, and I thought I had seriously injured my back. This should in my honest opinion have amounted to a Disqualification but the referee gave the decision of a win by stoppage to my opponent which is the wrong decision. The referee can clearly see the tackle (see photos). My guests left the venue in disgust. I contacted UWCB on numerous occasions sending over 10 emails. They ignored almany of my emails and eventually responded. They said that they had spoken to a few referees and wanted to talk to me on the phone. I replied saying there is nothing to discuss, and I simply requested a written reply but they are refusing to do that. They are also not arguing to say that it was right, which goes to show in my opinion that the decision was wrong. All I have asked for is for them to put the decision right by confirming it should have been a Disqualification and say sorry, I have not asked for much. I raised money for charity and committed to 8 weeks training, working hard and selling the minimum 10 tickets at £267 to have this done to me and them not even care. I will not give this organisation the time or day after this horrible experience.

Greedy company trying to paint themselves as charitable, they paint the picture that "they" raise money for charity - they dont! All participants are expected to raise £50 each, and then sell at least 10tickets at £25 each, NONE of the ticket money goes to charity so actually ultra take no part in raising money for anyone other than Jon Leonard who runs both ultra events and ultra tickets (who charge a 10% booking fee for themselves making the ticket price £27.50), ultra do not advertise the event nor help with selling tickets and if you dont sell 10 you're kicked off and they wont refund what you HAVE sold, so for the comedy they expect friends and family to pay £27.50 each to see us perform for 5 minutes each, you are better off searching for local open mic nights and getting into comedy that way rather than lining the pockets of someone who pretends their motives are to raise money for charity

Advertised as do five minutes for charity. This is a huge half truth!
The first e-mail says they need you to sell 10 tickets and raise £50 for charity, this seems very reasonable. What they don't tell you is the date that the event is on and how much the tickets are. The tickets are £25, £25 to see a friend or family do 5 mins of amateur comedy. For not much more you can see Jason Manford do 2 hours! On the first meeting they had 75 people, if everyone sells the 10 tickets they will make nearly £20,000. Not a single penny of that will go towards charity only the money you raise goes towards the charity. I understand there are some costs but I'm quite confident that it doesn't cost £20,000 to run one night.

I was posted in the leader board for raising so much for charity twice, then got a text saying as I had not sold 5 tickets. Make them £125, I was not going to be performing.

If you fancy doing comedy go to a local open mic and you will have a lovely time. This company, and it is a company needs to be avoided.
