Tickets cost £40, £60, £80, £100, £150, £200, £300 and ringside seats are priced at £500. Seems fairly hefty but no doubt I'll be shelling out!

There is also something called VIP Gold which is £1,000.

Yeah I saw that. Think I'll go for the £200 ones which I imagine should be floor seats about 10-15 rows back near the centre of the ring.

I think if you buy one of those you're allowed to jump into the ring and dance around like a three year old and then jump back out of the ring again shortly before the referee waves the fight off, should the opportunity present itself.

You get to fight on the undercard if you buy one of those!

Struggling to work out the prices for this I must say - be nice if they put up a seating plan over the weekend
Got a mixed group of people with varying budgets who want to go and its all going on my credit card so I think we might go for the £80's

The details I wanna know now are is it PPV and the undercard Eddie top fighters have fights lined up so that could be interesting.

Hatton vs Lazcano was £500 ringside, Froch vs Pascal was £250 i think from memory - so to be fair they are not that bad.

I boght the £40 tickets for Haye vs Enzo Mac at O2....If I was foot taller I could have touched the bleeding tent roof.
There really is no point getting £40 tickets, better off watching it on tv.

Er what about the atmosphere? We were in same seats and while it was nosebleed inducing the anticipation and then atmosphere when it started were still brilliant up in the gods.
We're gonna go £80 I reckon. Be decent enough without shelling out silly money

What time is it starting?
Problem with the 02 is that the tube is close but it's at the arse end of nowhere and the tube always closes before the event does.

Obviously the earlier you buy the better as tickets can vary hugely within each price bracket. My experience of it though is that the difference between the £200 and £300 ones would be very small. For example when I bought tickets for the Haye v Chisora fight I got £200 ones and the guys a row in front had paid £300.

They're not extortionate certainly and I'm well used to paying these sort of prices so no real complaints from me. Boxing is an expensive sport to follow if you want decent seats.

It's four months off, so I wouldn't expect too much of an undercard to be announced.
Depends on how the next few weeks go, then maybe the likes of Frampton and Brook could be on (esp if PPV).

When it comes to stadium shows, unless you're ringside, it's all about the atmosphere because the view of the action is always crap (compared to the telly) everywhere else. So I just go for the cheapest available tickets and act like a loony with the other peasants.

I am going for it and I get a £60 ticket allowance at work for anything I want to go see so I am going go for the £150 ticket as it will only cost me £90 with my allowance

Some good views in O2 Arena, I like that arena so long as you're not right up in the rafters. Should be fine with 80 quid-ish region.

Those amongst us who are Londoners and are 50/50 should wait until close to the day. Some short sighed tout will be lumbered with tickets he cant shift, and there are always the guys whose friends flop them lastminute and just want to get rid
A bit different as it was a concert, but i went to Jay-z/kanye west at the 02 without tickets fuly expecting to be able to get some. I got tickets at face value of 67.50 for £40 each,and I only paid that because the boys were young and seemed genuine. If I thought they were touts I would have lowballed the fcuk out of them, like when I paid £20 for a £75 ticket to see coldplay
There will definetely be tickets knocking round for this
