Not the most reliable source I know, but The Sun is reporting that only 7,000 tickets will be made available for UK fans. These will sell out very quickly. Presumably fans can buy tickets for other parts of the stadium from German operators such as eventim??

How many tickets had Haye sold when he backed out at the last minute in 2009 when the Setanta money had run dry?

I'm sure I read that anybody can buy tickets from the German box office, not sure what the fuss is about. Does Haye get an additional cut from the official Brit allocation?

The stadium sold out in hours, but I don't know how many of them you can allocate to Haye.

I think 47,000 tickets were sold in just over a day for the 2009 fight so if anything they will sell even quicker now given the fact that the fight has a much higher profile and the fact that the economy is slightly improved on 2 years ago.

I take it these 7000 will be blocked together and the rest you could end up anywhere?

I presume so yes. Obviously it would be good to sit with other Haye fans but I'm not really bothered as long as I get a good seat.

The beatthetouts.com website has said they may be going on sale today. Wether this is accurate or not it shows there will be interest from the touts, and i dont just mean the pros, a lot of people just doubling the price and sticking them on Ebay,Viagog,Seatwave,Getmein,etc. Despite its name, this is the website all the re-sellers get their tips from.

Well the press conference is today so I guess they will go on sale immediately after that. Praying I can get one of the 200 Euros tickets as the others are either too expensive or will have rubbish views.
