Jon, thanks for the update. I have booked flights and hotel but have not registered with hennesey/ Froch's brother as I am happy to go with your allocation. Please let me know if there is any chance at all that you won't get an allocation. Much appreciated

final line mentions next week as a possible date for the tickets to finally go on sale, but reading this doesnt lead me to think that they will be at giveaway prices!!!
September 3rd, 2010
Thousands of Arthur Abraham fans are expected to flock into Monaco on October 2. That is when King Arthur faces Carl Froch in Showtime´s Super Six World Boxing Classic third-round match in the famous Chapiteau de Fontvieille. Abraham can count on two huge fan groups: His gigantic German fan-base plus his Armenian home support.
“There will be a lot of fans travelling to Monaco – from Germany, from Armenia, from France, from everywhere,” King Arthur said. “I have chartered plans to fly them all in from Armenia and Berlin. Even in training camp here at the Baltic Sea (Zinnowitz) my fans have been asking me about tickets. They will drive down all the way from the this coast to the other coast to watch the clash.”
France boasts one of the biggest Armenian communities as up to 700,000 Armenians are estimated to be living in the land of Napoleon. When Abraham fights in Germany, he regularly draws market shares of more than 40 percent on public TV.
A capacity crowd of 14,000 fans cheered him to his KO victory over Jermain Taylor in Berlin in October. When he fought Andre Dirrell in Detroit, there were close to 1,000 Armenian fans in attendance, meaning Monaco will not be as neutral as Carl Froch had hoped. “My Armenian countrymen are all over the world and they are very passionate about boxing. They will lift me to victory in Monaco.”
Tickets are reported to go on sale next week.

Jon, in the absence of an update here, I ended up getting them direct from the place Hennesey mentioned this morning. Thanks anyway, I couldn't take the risk as I've already booked flights and hotel.

Cheers guys. Both are fine.
He was 16 days early (due 21st) and as the first baby tends to come late i joked that i might have to give her labour support over the phone from Monaco. Luckily she'll never have to know i wasn't really joking.
I've just updated the first post with seating plan and ticket prices.
