Why are Fury tickets so much?

[Mimmy]

just looked to buy 2 from Eventim and at the back block 217 £106 each. Why are tickets for this fight so expensive? Ive never seen anything like this before, right at the rear where you will have to watch the big live screen to see anything and the promoter expects you to pay over £100.

[Stuarty]

Disgusting prices! Total piss take and a kick in the bollux to the working man!

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Mad prices; if anything they've gone up from last time. Expect this to sell poorly again and the event to get canned as a consequence.

[Mimmy]

those 217 block seats shouldnt be more than £40 you cant see eff all, ive been there.

[CaptainSpacerod]

Because you'll be watching two genuinely world class heavyweights fighting for the lineal Heavyweight Championship of the World

Sporting events don't come much bigger than that.

[Noxy]

I'll not be going, it's OTT that

[gilgamesh]

They've sure got a lot of gall to charge that kinda money after the garbage they called a fight the first time these two stepped in the ring. They could cut the ticket prices by 75% and it's still a rip off.

[lefty]

I'm guessing it's because it's not on PPV (correct me if im wrong) so frank is trying to make up the difference with these ridiculous ticket prices.

[bigjack]

Because they are demanding a very big payday each,that's why.

[Cyclops]

Because they are demanding a very big payday each,that's why.

but they didn't sell well before, and there was loads of people who got thier money back that probably won't be arsed to buy again. Fury fights are cursed for me: every time I've bought tickets for him there's been injuries or pull outs or cancellations or it's just been shite. I have given up on watching him live.

somebody is going to lose a lot of money.

your right,the date being announced again means absolutely nothing,i've never watched Fury live and i just wouldn't waste my time buying tickets,no matter who he fights in the future.

If they both wanted paying they should've fought on the yacht for the sheiks. Nobody trusts this fight and given that booking fees tend to be 10% and non-refundable, you know you're probably giving up a decent chunk for fornicate all

[ThereByTheGrace]

Glad I gave back my tickets the first time it was canned cant see this fight happening!

[samwbr]

What's happened to Peter Fury promising tickets will be reasonably priced then?

Sporting events don't come much bigger than that.

Irrespective of whether this is one of the biggest sporting events in the world, it'll take place in front of a nominal crowd and be regarded as one of the all time greatest sporting farces.

Well that doesn't make it sound too bad

It's nothing to do with Frank he's not the promoter - this is all fat Mick and team Hennessy.

The first fight was a boring joke between two fcuken awkward lummoxes - IF it happens I will watch at home

[Mimmy]

But how will the travelling community be able to afford tickets at such a cost as they dont have full time employment so cannot possibly afford to buy a ticket? Im sure Mr Fury himself would at least want 'his' followers there to support him, those followers who have supported him all his career when he was very poorly paid.

Yes celebrities and Z listers such as Vicky Patterson could well afford a back seat ticket but the local man in the street who has supported the likes of these promoters are surely now being ripped off by the people they have made rich.

This is simply the difference between the top 2 heavyweights of the world fighting, compared to Wilder fighting a bum that gives up the fight on request if Wilder seems to be losing. I can't say I'm that surprised.

These tickets are still subject to supply and demand. The demand for fury tickets has never been there and with his pull outs and other shit over the last year, he's been overtaken in the eyes of the casual fan by joshua

[DannyMCR]

My only guess is due to the amount of money they'll be getting from BNation, which won't be anywhere near what they saw from last year's PPV buys.

Suppose they have to make the money somehow, shame it's us lot who suffer most.

Because Klitschko lost for the first time in well over a decade, the league is open again and there are interesting open questions again. I'm not so sure if people think Fury is overtaken already by people that know what they are talking about, but I like to see AJ's results indeed.

Nobody outside a small hardcore cares though and as shown in this thread, even they think the prices are way too high.

Again, it doesn't matter what we think. The fighters who make big money capture the casual fan market and make them care abut them and not the sport
