Anyone from Matchroom please comment on the 02 ticket fiasco
I cannot believe that all tickets sold out in several hours. And that in 30 mins there were not 4 seast together in most price brackets.

Re: Anyone from Matchroom please comment on the 02 ticket fiasco
In the end it kept saying there weren't even 2 seats together, even after you ticked the tick saying you'd sit apart 
Re: Anyone from Matchroom please comment on the 02 ticket fiasco
The system was just a complete joke. I logged on at bang on 12 noon and got through to the buying screen by about 12.05pm and literally could not book 2 tickets together anywhere in the arena and I tried all prices from £40 through to £500.
Clearly the entire arena had not sold out of seats sat side by side within 5 mins so I'm very angry. Gonna email Eddie Hearn about it as he's always going on about how receptive they are to genuine fans feedback on twitter.![[icon_witsend.gif] :witzend:](./images/smilies/icon_witsend.gif)

Let us know how you get on - whilst I understand that this sort of thing happens from time to time, at least the 02 (on their homepage - altough I guess they won't overtly publicise there are issues!) or Eddie could make some kind of announcement saying they are having issues and to be patient.SteveDow wrote:The system was just a complete joke.

Re: Anyone from Matchroom please comment on the 02 ticket fiasco
If anyone is an o2 customer, they are still keeping priority tickets for customers only !

Re: Anyone from Matchroom please comment on the 02 ticket fiasco
I got mine easily, though i am quite experienced in the ticket buying game. I did not expect this to sell so quick to be honest and can only imagine the 5000 promised to the Danes were not on the open market. For those saying there are loads on the secondary market, there are, but nowhere near as many as usually are for a sold out gig at a major venue. Beatthetouts website never even put a link up so it will have been people strictly in the know who are selling them. In fact its a fairly weak secondary market, take a look at tickets for The Who, or Beyonce next week for examples of a strong one.

Re: Anyone from Matchroom please comment on the 02 ticket fiasco
I dont think I had an issue. Logged in at work at 11.55am - got 2 £67.50 tickets at 10 past 12 and then seen all hell broke loose when I started reading this!
I booked on my work email address and didn't think the seats were a problem - now I'm shitting it that I've fecked it up - have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure.

Re: Anyone from Matchroom please comment on the 02 ticket fiasco
i wouldn't book the tickets online why don't you all just contact the fighters as you help the fighters earn a living and you wont have to pay a booking fee? and if your lucky enough you might meet the fighters ? it's a win win all round

I had no problems whatsoever, straightforward transaction.
If the two £100 face value tickets on eBay do £900 I'm cashing mine in, that's crazy money.
