CALZAGHE FIGHT: BEST SEATS?

Hello gents,
Need you advice on this one. I'm flying back to Blighty for the weekend of the Calzaghe fight and have managed to persuade my mate to do a weekender in Cardiff for his 30th birthday (no ulterior motive on my part of course :wink: )
To cut a long story short, I've never been to Cardiff Ice Rink and there doesn't appear to be a seating plan so I've got no way of telling which the best value for money seats are. I think they start at 35 quid and we're looking at getting ones in the region of 50/75 quid, but your advice would be invaluable.
I've tried looking on Frank's website but I can't even access the on-line booking form there, let alone get some sort of seating plan!
Your help would be appreciated!

I haven't been to the ice rink Deserter, but I went to the Cardiff castle show in 2002: 70 odd quid tickets got me front row seats in the outer ring section, just behind the press/celebrity section. So I'm guessing that's approx where you'll be..

Hopefully local Welsh expert Lugh can enlighten you. I do know that the FW booking office is pretty unhelpful - longest sentence I got from the girl on the phone was: Yes. No. Yes. No etc...

Deserter, can't really tell where the £50-70 tickets will be but think all the £30's have gone, cos a mate of mine tried getting some yesterday on FWTV. If you look on link below it might give you a better idea!

The Ice Rink is a pretty small venue and I have been in both the pricy and cheap seats and if I'm honest there's not alot in it - the seating is pretty steep sided so if anything I reckon I saw more from the cheap seats!

Thanks Lugh. Reckon I'm going to go for the 50 quid ones then.
