usually in the MEN 105 and 106 is the fighters tunnel but ive sat the opposite corner front of the lower tier 122 the view was very good probably alot better than may of the cheaper ringside seats and you get the families and celebs coming out of that tunnel which all adds to the atmosphere. Hayes mrs was dribble on fit to be fair i didnt know it was her at the time.MarkMcBurney wrote:Which blocks are next to the 'tunnel' at the arena? Which corner do the fighters come out from?
As ive been to lots of fights in my past ive seen it done it so to speak. The reason I buy a fight ticket is because I want to see the main event. If I know the undercard fighter then yes I will sit and watch. The Haye Harrison affair admittedly I only saw the main fight.orbtastic wrote:Yes, that bit was to you.mimmy123 wrote:Well seeing as ive said before I generally only watch the main event surely this is to me.

I dunno, you were seemingly going to lengths to point out what a "real fan" you were?

I think someone called you wanker (in a slightly more polite way) for buying tickets to make a profit with on Ebay. To which you replied that no, you were a "real fan". I think the general consensus would be that real fans would let the other real fans buy tickets for face value and not at an inflated price on Ebay. Unless you were being completely altruistic and looking to sell them at a loss? If so, give yourself a pat on the back.

Aye, there's a market for it so touts will always be there. I don't think talking about it on the day the tickets go on sale, on a boxing forum is the best thing to do, is all.mimmy123 wrote:orbtastic wrote:I don't think anyone called you a wanker for not sitting down with a scorecard and scoring six rounders way down the undercard.

Again, ive not bought any tickets. I was going to buy 2 cheapo ones to sell for a extra few quid to make up my losses on the last Haye fight that didnt happen. I never got my ticket fee back or my travelodge fee.
To be honest there are genuine websites that are/will be selling 78 pound tickets for over 100 quid you know.

Obnoxious? Possibly. Mouthy? Sometimes.
Hardman wannabe, definitely not.
Why is me pointing out your long-term behaviour on a public forum, worthy of a punch in the mouth? Is it because it actually is the truth and don't like hearing it?
I think you'll find you're doing some projecting here and offering to meet up and have a fight seems a bit...I dunno...obsessional and fixated on a poster, maybe? It's a bit like proving you're not gay by offering to suck someone off. It doesn't really work.

Haye's cost me a ton of money of the years, with the Paris fight, the Audley debacle and the Wlad cancellation. It's part and parcel of going to live boxing, there's always cancellations and stuff going on.

Yeah I got your point, I was talking about your original comment that sparked the negative responses.mimmy123 wrote:Read my reply above, talking about ticket touts!!
No one would buy a ticket face value of 48 quid in the rafters for more than 60 quid maybe. Tralodge didnt give me my money back, or Eventim they didnt give me 7-50 x 5 fees back either unless I gave them a email booking fee number which was emailed to me in March 2013. The email was delited but they still had my email address and my CC details!orbtastic wrote:C'mon, you know full well Ebay would make you more than £20 with the right interest/wind behind it.
It's nothing to do with that. It's because you're a bully.orbtastic wrote:Still here? Not overdue a panic attack? Breathe deep, we're all here for you.columbo wrote:He's an obnoxious mouthy hardman wannabe, it's ok.

I've clicked on the link and it is atrocious that a firm would bang so much on top of the face value; the amount is only a part of it though. There is a principle somewhere there and if someone is minting it or making 10 or 20 quid or whatever - it's all a part of profiting off the next man through no real effort or risk.mimmy123 wrote:surely you cannot justify selling tickets at that price, Eventim has sold tickets to them to make a hugh bulging pocket full of cash, and im getting stick for maybe making 20 quid!

I understand what you are saying but im sure we've all bought tickets from other sourses, ive had to buy Westlife tickets for my daughter at above the cost, I remember Gary Barlow was at Scarborough and tickets were 35 quid. On ebay they were selling that same night of ticket sales (took 30 mins to sell out) for £250 and on seat wave £100+palooka wrote:I've clicked on the link and it is atrocious that a firm would bang so much on top of the face value; the amount is only a part of it though.

So why is it ok for a promotor to sell to other sourses to make money, you cannot tell me Eventim is selling to seatwave for no return, come on were not that daft, of course Eventim are making more themselves too by sharing the seatwave profits too
Everyone has their pound of flesh.
