However it is only a small-ish arena so pretty much anywhere is a very good view in there, compared to somewhere like say, MEN Arena which is twice the size and a bit more I think. I think I'm gona cheap out and go for the £60 tickets.

That's why I went for block 15 rather than the floor seats. I sat outer ringside when Froch fought Rybacki (was meant to be Inkin but he pulled out) and while it was cool being close to the ring and meeting some boxers and stuff the view was at times a bit restricted as you had to crane your neck upwards, avoid the people standing up etc. Much better to be square on to the ring.

yeah, like I say, they went pretty quickly today. same with the MEN, the two rising blocks level with the ring always sell out first. same with sheffield arena, I've had tickets in the first row of the block before and they were amazing, like you say. I think I got them direct off a boxer so maybe as someone is saying boxers have an allocation this time round too. anyway, moot now.

Yeh I won't rub it in by saying Block 5 and 15 are still both available on the Nottingham Arena site. ;;-)

I didn't book the tickets but my brother (who did) told me at ten past 2 that there were only ten left and they were way up in row Q or T or something? That and not having 4 together made £100 a bit of a joke..

Just looked and now bloody row B are available in block 15. Bit irritating that I could only get row Q 2 hours ago and now row B are available. They should automatically allocate the best seats available to the people who buy first.

haha...FFS...probably down to people having cards declined or cancelling them? that is pretty annoying. I just checked myself and Row D comes up as a block of 4. ah well, it's only money.

Exactly. Won't be that much difference anyway although would obviously have preferred being at the front of the block.

I can only assume thats due to people holding them online , as they can be held for so long whilst purchasing them cant they

7 minutes. I think I was on the phone to my brother longer than that as he seemingly can't do anything without being told to.

Im puzzled now ,

Leigh wood is selling tickets via a mutual friend yet on twitter he says hes not heard anything yet , so forget what i said earlier about him being on undercard as he doesnt know himself yet

I've always found ringing up better if you want specific rows etc. Last Froch fight there I did that and got slap bang in the middle of Row 15, perfect seats, when you book on the phone they can look into specific seats, online it just seems a bit random.
