Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I would love to see this fight live.
Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
You could always just go there and have a backup cctv location, wait for the brokers t drop the price on the unsold tickets at the start of the fight, if its still not cheap enough watch the cctv. I brought my daughter to a sold out concert with nose bleed tickets, once the concert started, brokers offered up front tickets with the original face value of @280 sold me 3 for $60 less than 10 rows from the stage.
Theres only 1000 going on sale i heard so most will be snapped up already and go straight to corporate wankers who just want to say "i was there"
It's gonna be nothing atmosphere wise compared to a Hatton or De La Hoya Vegas fight but more like the 9am Tyson v Douglas Library vibe
Of course brokers get the first crack, Promoter's love this because it's that's the way to drive up the demand for the tickets. You can blame Mayweather and Arum for the extreme price demand. By holding back the tickets, it creates even more demand and guess what? They get to make under the table money. Brokers have the capital to pay more than the face value and absorb the risk on any unsold tickets they get. No tax on moneys above the face value. The only time high ticket demand becomes available to the public is when the performers/promoters release the tickets. The fighters get cheated out of the extra gate revenue when the promoter controls the tickets but this time its only Pacquiao and the IRS that will get cheated.
It's easy to see whats happening, the tickets available on broker sites are a front, taken advantage of to gauge the demand, and set the price for those that have the $$$. This will continue until the demand drops the closer we get to the actual event. Once the demand tapers and there are still unsold tickets, the price will drop. However, if the demand increases, the promoter will only release the tickets in lots and increase the price to the brokers as the demand increases. They know they can unload the unsold tickets for face value if demand for the overpriced tickets fall off.
Best seat is at home, safe, secure and plenty of wine.
Im trying to get Paddy Powers to do a promo. Have a bet on the fight in April and get entered to a draw to win flights, hotel and tickets for the fight. Thats probably your best chance of getting tickets if youre not willing to pay.
Decent card on Thursday and Friday which should be easy enough to get tickets for if you already have flights booked.
17500 euro is a lot! people will try to look for second hand tickets and stuff heaps of fakes ones,
I was looking for this ice hockey game, ducks vs kings or some bigger games, and tickets was like 250 dollars, and i went to the stadium site where they sold tickets, and a big sign, tickets for 120 dollar just this hour really close bla bla, proper site as well. I bought a ticket, booked a taxi to the game and after, (so i can have a few beers) when i got there and was bout to go in, they told me i bought a parking spot. Spent 120 dollar for a fricking parking spot. ended up buying a real ticket anyway!
I was thinking about heading to Vegas the weekend AFTER the fight. They may practically be giving the rooms away by then.
