So what kind of tickets do you normally sell then? What like concerts and stuff.
Anything. I've been at it a long time(9years) so know what sells. It's getting harder nowadays to be honest, but the buyers are there for the right gigs. There are a lot of variables, mainly the venue and age of fan base. For example, if you bought 6 standing tickets for The Cure at The Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust, you could have profited a grand and had them sold within ten minutes. That is an exceptionally good example and quite rare, but not unheard of.

Ah ok cheers for the info. Do you think it's worth taking a gamble on the fight? It's whether there's enough demand i imagine.

If you're looking to make a pound note, I'll sell you as many of them as you want for 50p each.

There will be a market on the cheaper tickets for this fight for a few days. People will panic buy, TFL will ok another 10,000 cheap seats to go on sale and the buyers will all be crying. I once sold 40 Peter Kay tickets that went on sale at 9.00am by 9.10. By 10.00am he announced another 40 dates! In the end he did over 100. Same with Michael Jackson, he announced 10, then another 40 an hour later. Unfortunately, his demise led to my lifetime EBay ban and legal problems, but that's another story...

...like some bastard did with us at Froch/Kessler 2! 4 sets of the same seats, one Viagogo, one StubHub, one GetMeIn and one eBay!!

So your a tout? Someone who buys tickets and sells them for inflated prices?

No, a taxi driver. Sold a few tickets though, some for greatly reduced prices, too. What do you do?

What seats do people reckon offer the best bang for your buck? I'm happy to go up to £300 tix seeing as it's a birthday present for my dad but obviously if some of the cheaper ones might be better value overall, I'm happy to save a few quid.

Avoid anything really high up and the lowest seats in the bowl, because both will give a shit view, if you're willing to pay £300 then get as close as possible, if not, anywhere a decent height in the lower tier should give you a decent view.

would not fancy the top tier, especially west and east stands, too far from the ring.
