Golovkin v Brook - who's going ??

[shambles80]

Friend sorted them out using another friend's o2 account. definitely the way forward using the 02 priority to beat the fight-pass crew and general sale.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Managed to get 4 £80s in general sale today after failing on Wed. Block 404 so at least central rather than in the corner.

What is this general sale business? I'm confused

They officially go on sale at 12pm today. 48 hours after they went on sale...

Um. Am I allowed to now be more confused?

[jamesmcdonnell]

angry with myself. paid £150 for a £100 seat on stubhub.
The adrenaline was pumping. Felt like I was just HAVING to win an auction on ebay.

But still happy to be going.

A plum and his money are easily parted.

I should know. I'm always skint.

Got ours from Kell's dad on Wednesday. Couldn't have been more helpful to the York lads and said he hadn't forgotten who'd been there all along. No booking fees...

Ive been a boxing fan for a long time (I'm in my early forties) and this is the first time in that period of time we've had a genuine top 3 (arguably higher), in his prime, P4P come over. Kostya was probably in that category when he came over, but everyone was wondering if he was shop worn. No one thinks GGG is.

Bottom line - pay what you can afford and just enjoy it.

Very true, and i'm tempted, but you've really got to shell out some serious wedge here surely,otherwise you're sitting with all the pissed coked up casuals at the back, and they're puking and pissing over your shoes

MW - I think you'd be surprised. Obviously im saying this from the luxury of being at the front, but I don't think it's a fight for those kind of casuals - a lot of acquitances of mine are coming, solely to see GGG,and are happy to be towards the back to enjoy seeing a future hoF.l. guess we will only know at/post the event.

90 for a ticket, 25 for train from Sheffield, and 25 each for 4 staying in a hostel, actually not too expensive a night.

can't wait!

25 is cheap for the train.

People who booked them with the print at home option any idea when we actually get the file to print? Obviously loads of time but just wondering as normally I get tickets posted.

Haskins v Hall is on the undercard too now, so may be worth seeking out tickets from them if possible.

because of this I am very lucky and will be ringside.

I know I'm bias but I'm really happy for Stuey and I personally think its a great addition to the card...I went to the last fight he had with haskins in Bristol and despite what Nick will come on and say, I though Haskins beat Stu.....he's a completely different fighter now though and I hope that Stuey wins it.

I feel lucky and privileged to be there for Stuey and also to see probably the best fighter I will see in my generation fight live (golovkin of course)

Hope everyone gets the tickets they want and enjoys the night

see you there.

[nick885]

For those who have tix, enjoy the fight.

I've never really understood people's complaining about the cost, you can simply choose not to pay

Sorted my tix today

You ringside mate? I managed to get mine through Stuey so if anyone fancies a beer or ten on the night my twitter name is @stansmiths73

I would, but I think Nick might set about me for winding him up. Especially if Stuey loses...

Quite a lot of tickets still available on the tout sites. I'm
Noticing they're starting to drop their pisstake prices, too. I've gone from being excited about it to thinking it's a cynical mismatch, a cash in, and I'm no better than a Joshua fan clambering to see his idol annihilate somebody by going to this: Brook has no chance. It's not a competitive fight, it's purely a chance to see GGG: and he'll be an ant at that.

If there's some face value tickets kicking about a couple of nights before the show I'll go, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

Quite miserable these days, I am.

Me too - I think this will be a complete mistmatch, Brook is a good fighter, but he won't be able to handle what's coming his way against GGG.

Booze and food on top of that no?

Don't forget the old Persian rugs, boys!

Where's that hostel, mate? The one full of smack heads and recently paroled murderers just off Stabbey Alley in Rapetown?

Thats doubled the costs already.

You know I think you're right about that, the casuals won't even know who the hell GGG is.
I'm thinking about it but also about the fact that the first time he lands cleanly Kell may be bouncing off the canvas. I keep seeing talk about the welterweight champion being a massive puncher but I really don't think that's the case

Kell is heavy handed, but at 147, he won't be anywhere near as hard hitting at 160.

It's going to be very one sided, and a lot of people in the crowd who don't know who GGG is, will be rather disappointed I fear.
