No, it just says '£50 tier seats'.

Did you buy them off Fwank's site? If you buy them from the Arena's website you get given a specific seat number.

Yeah got 'em off his official website. If I have been fleeced/f**ked over don't tell me. Ignorance is bliss!

The Arena will give the promoter an allocation of tickets.

As you now have paid for a ticket but have no block/seat number, they can technically allocate you any seat in the lower tier...I would be surprised if you have a ticket in block 3 as that's the one that everyone's picked so far, along with the one directly opposite.

They will go first, as they always do at the MEN. always pays to have a seating diagram in front of you when ordering.

Might be worth a follow-up email to FW asking which block/seat you have?

Yeah, you could end up with a great view or get stuck in the corner. Luck of the draw really.

I'd do as orbtastic says and see if you can find out where you'll be sitting.

In all honesty wherever you are in the lower tier you will have a great view the echo is a decent sized arena but is fairly intimate at the same time it not like the MEN being stuck in the corner isn't a death sentence

Wrong this time unfortunately mate. I placed my original order of lower tiers in blocks 11 & 5
This show however is full arena opened up. So blocks 15 & 3 are the central blocks! I changed my order to those blocks which I now have.

I only order £50 lowers and £250 ringsides. Always have

I think the Mrs spiked my tea there.
Hang on....
Yeah you were right. 11 & 5 are USUALLY the central and now it's 15 & 3. You've ordered 3 so ignore me being a tit not reading properly.

Can we buy directly off you, Paul?

Yes mate

Cheers. I'll get the number of tix needed and pop you a message.

Cheers mate. Just emailed them now asking what block I'm in, and also if there is any chance I can get in block 15. Might not work but worth a go eh!?! Serves me right really. I've been to loads of Leisure Centre shows where it is unreserved seating but this is my first arena show so I'm wet behind the ears in terms of ticket protocol!

You lose nothing by asking for what you want, you're no less entitled to it than anyone else that's paid the same money.

Is that £250 outer ringside or inner Paul?

You can't buy inner ringside mate. VIP guests of FW/FWP, officials and press.

Cheers that was what l thought, though always wondered when a fighter took a block of tickets did some of his allocation get inner ringside, i take it the fighters get a good few inner for friends and family?

Sorry for so many questions, l like to bore my mates with these facts during the adverts. D

Tickets have arrived, block 15!!!

Got some tickets from the box office (as was shopping) for the mrs brother and dad the other day and they only had 2 of the cheap tickets left - cost me an extra tenner for xmas presents!! Got my ticket a while back looking forward to it, my mrs little brother first time watching boxing live is buzzin for it, although he's a big DeGale fan so will probably be one of the only ones in the arena cheering him on!
