You can't, that's the point.

I have had an idea about this. Anybody who REALLY wants to go to Froch Groves 2 and can't get a ticket, have a little go at getting me a ticket for Glastonbury in the resale (I'll be on it with a few of my mates many hands etc), I'll swap the spare £110 ticket I bought AND pay the difference if you're the one who gets me it. They're out again in April. You can have a little pop, press refresh a few times and maybe hit the jackpot.
I'd rather do that than tout it to be honest.
PM me and I'll tell you how to do it.

Okay. I'm still annoyed so I thought I'd do a little analysis.
Tickets available on each site at 23:20 to 23:30
Viagogo = 9498 (There is a little double counting, estimate is around 8500 to 9000)
Getmein = 239
Seatwave= 915
Stubhub = 592
ebay= 18
So that is a range of 10264 to 11262. So approximately 20% of the total tickets (54k) are on sale the same day. This probably doesn't even get close to the true figure as I am sure some have already been bought and more are to come.
Am I allowed to swear

Just got to think of; 60k on sale yesterday (including club wembley and undercard fighters) and there is talk of 20k more being released. Does'nt wembley have 90k seats? Add the 5k or more on the pitch (thats just a guess) and we should be talking up to 95k attendance potentially? Or are they not selling all seats?

After ten pints of cider and a gram of MD I'll dance to anything but Ed Sheeran is pushing it a bit.

As this selling to the secondary market prior to making them available in general is becoming more common place, it might be worth reporting to the OFT to see if they will investigate. It's not right that the public are duped like this.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been paying over the odds for tickets for years. This isn't even a particularly busy week. It just seems more relevant because it's boxing.

I know they have but that doesn't make it right. That's been a moral choice by people to buy tickets they don't want to make money out of someone else.
what's happening now is even worse. A big company sells a small percentage of tickets to the public and claims it's sold out knowing that they have passed the rest over to other corporates to sell onto a duped public.
The money men have a free license to shaft the working man once again in tory Britain
