Only way of getting them, i think, is to pay wayyyyy over the odds, like £500 for the cheapest seat!

Your looking at around £1500 for the best L section seat, which I'd imagine has an okay view

I don't mind paying - it's just getting hold of the damn things!!

The cost and effort involved in getting one has made me resign to the good old TV. Best seat in the house. :TU:

I think to be honest, you're right. You don't miss anything really except the atmosphere.

(craig) / Lonesy - what time did your ticket application get processed? Was it first time, i.e 18:00 ?

Tickets are being sold at the UK Box Office at the following prices:

£95 for a $150 ticket

£195 for a $300 ticket

£385 for a $600 ticket

£480 for a $750 ticket

£640 for a $1000 ticket

Bearing in mind over 55% of the allocation of 3,900 tickets that were given to Team Hatton that is one hell of a lot of money being grossed.

My questions are very simple and very respectfully and politely put:

Out of the 3,900 allocation what number of tickets were given to the following:

Team Hatton

Travel Agencies

link mate??

I also understand Ricky told quite a few of his friends they'd have to enter the ballot as team hatton washed their hands with the situation.

What is a disgrace is the following Travel Agencies selling tickets at the prices they have published:

can see the first one is a US based site but look at the prices!!!

Hatton/Mayweather Tickets

then there is another one which looks like a Manchester based one, states a limited amount of $1000 dollar tickets available - a lot more reasonable prices - but my point is where are the tickets coming from?

More Hatton/Mayweather tickets

And heres another one ...

More Mayweather/Hatton fight tickets

And another one ...

More Mayweather/Hatton fight tickets

and another ...

Hatton/Mayweather fight tickets

did you notice on ticketmaster you could only have 2 as an individual, but packages could buy 50.

and that is where the problem lies i think, its the same with concert tickets, some unscrupulous sites have dozens of guys acting as 'buyers' through sites like 'ticketmaster' ... the unscrupulous sites then have a monopoly on tickets !!

Its a disgrace.

Where ever you look there is a site or an agency selling tickets or packages for the Hatton Mayweather fight. Exploitation at its very best.

I already paid over the odds for DLH v Mayweather, so don't think I'll do it again!

Cotto v Mosley looks a better fight, and card, and the tickets are only £250 for lower tier seating!!!

Yep I went for $500 Cotto Mosley tickets as well, figuring it'll be a better fight, a hell of a lot cheaper and there's a chance Hatton could fight one of them next (and if it was Cotto I guess it would more than likely be at MSG).

And these fools wonder why boxing's popularity is falling.

They should've made the fight at Wembley Stadium. Imagine a sell-out crowd of 85,000!!

I think it's still worth going to Vegas though, just for the atmosphere. If Ricky wins the fight, I can see fans taking to the streets. They're quoting $50 for the close-circuit venues.
