’50k Fury vs Chisora tickets sell’ – 95% of sections appear on resale
Despite the mass dismay at the fight, promoter allegedly claims the event has sold over 50,000 tickets.
The question is, ‘who is buying them?’
World Boxing News reported that over 95% of the social media comments surrounding the event are negative. Not many British people, if any boxing fans, want to see this fight.
Therefore, expecting a sellout crowd of 60,000 plus to pack inside a UK football stadium in the winter is a long shot.
The reaction to Tyson Fury defending his WBC heavyweight title against a man he’s roundly beaten twice, the second time badly, has not been positive.
Since the noon green light got lit on Friday, the reception has been lukewarm on social media. Some fans are complaining about the prices.
“Think you need to pay people to watch this pointless fight. Nobody wants to see it.”
“No Queues at 15.30. You can pick any ticket at those horrendous prices. You’ve sold us out this time, Tyson. The public isn’t buying it.”
“Not really a brilliant fight and tickets at 200 plus pounds. Don’t you know there is a cost-of-living crisis?”
“You could get a ticket for AJ vs Usyk for £40. Those same seats are now £85. More than double for Fury vs Chisora!”
Fury vs Chisora tickets reaction
Judging by the vast majority of responses to tickets going on sale, it won’t be an easy sell.
“This ain’t selling out. There is literally no queue on Ticketmaster. They’ll be flogging them for a tenner outside on fight night,” said one.
Another stated: “I really hope the touts get burned on this one. No way this will sell out. December in the cold and rain watching.”
A third added: “£225 for decent seats. The best in the world against someone who has lost 12 times? – Get f***ed!”
On Warren claiming 50,000 sales, the fans’ reaction said it all.
“Resale flop for the touts.”
“You’re talking absolute b*****ks.”
“Flying out so fast you keep having to repost tickets are available.”
‘A market for resellers’
“Ticket touts have not even snapped them up yet. It’s going to be a hard sell this.”
“Any idea what checks are in place to ensure resellers are not buying them?”
“He’s joking, surely. There’s no market for resellers if the tickets are selling as slowly as this.
“There were lower tier tickets available all day yesterday, and still 12,000 tickets unsold now. Resellers can only really rip people off when places sell out.”
“50,000 touts are getting their fingers burned on this one, check StubHub, Viagogo, etc. The stadium will look like Tottenham is three down at halftime.”
“Madness that anyone outside their family, friends, and the team would pay for this.”
