Hatton Ticket situation - wtf !!!

[Mark TKO]

this may be old news to you but still on my hols in Canada and logged in to see news for first time in a week or so

Reading on Hatton site it says that only 3900 tickets have been allocated to UK and there have been over 40,000 applications !

and they are going to be over 6 hundred quid - is someone taking the piss ?!?!

had paid a hotel and flight deposit - looks like I won't be going now

given the demand this should have been in a stadium

I'm with you I can't make any sense from it.
At all!

There is a ballot going on for who gets 3900 the tickets alocated to team Hatton.

Loads of people are going to be disapointed including me.

Prices start from £95-£195-£380-£mad money.


I have booked a flight and hotel as well.GUTTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All is not lost:

Your basically fucked if you want to buy a ticket throught the Hatton allocation as the prioirity go to those who have been to Vegas before and im certain that theres about eight thousand if not more who have been to either of the last three fights and our going to this one.

Im getting my ticket through the MGM, I know a couple who are a family friends who live in Vegas and they will have the majoirty of the alloctation i think around 5500 being sold at there HQ. Also try the Ticketmaster in the USA but im guessing thousands of Hatton fans will be doing the same thing and it will be a bit pot luck, for this though you need a credit card in your name as you have to pick them up in person showing the credit card at the same time.

Other than that there is the these sports agents who offer Ticket/Flight/Hotel packages how reliable are these guys im not sure?

It is an awful shame this is the situation but they have these huge fights at the Casinos so it will attract these very wealthy people from all over the world to come spend millions at there Casino in turn the Casinos pay the Promoters a big fee.

But Mayweather is just not a big draw, i agree with you TKO this should of been in a stadium even in America surely 50000 ticket stadium would make up for the financial loss of the Casino money?

Either way im going if i dont get a ticket never mind, hopefully i bump into some desperate milf high roller who is looking for a good time with a hot young male from Manchester in return for a fight ticket?? You never know

Fair play

Sounds a good blag

Adds a little game in to it

[Mark TKO]

just got news from my bro in UK - tickets are 640 quid. We were originally on a waiting list as all packages had gone but now ticket price has been announced 'quite a few people are pulling out'

thats on top of the 820 we have already paid for flight and hotel - with spends that will come in around two grand

I was meant to be going in a party of 6 but the other 5 now don't want to go at that price. I paid 270 quid to see Lewis v Tua and I thought that was steep !!!

am not sure what to do myself - i know its a rip off, don't blame ricky's camp one bit he has to take this fight at all costs but this is just not right. The genuine working class Hatton fan who was willing to pay big money to go halfway round the world now has to pay even bigger money - and with it being just before xmas too many will now struggle to get there .

This is not right - really fucks me off all the high rollers who will be there, many of whom will not be real fans - of boxing never mind Hatton.

Mayweather's only allowed the same 3900. So why are Hatton fans crying?

[Punisher136]

Aren't there tickets being sold on ticketmaster or in las vegas itself?

Mayweather doesnt have the fan base that Hatton does.

[Althugz]

That was when it really hit home for me that my chances of seeing this fight were slim when I read the article about there being 40'000 applications..and that was before my application was recieved! So by the time mine got there it was probably about 60'000! Just got back off of holiday and have been trying to keep track of the situation..just seems to be getting worse and worse with every article I read..

What I wanna know is what is Floyd Mayweather doing with his 3'900 tickets? We've heard about Hatton's promoters doing a postal ballot etc but I haven't heard a damm thing about Mayweather's allocation? I'm assuming they're not gonna be sold on Ticketmaster or through the MGM?

Mayweather hasn't even got 2000 people behind him who would pay to see him
I'd still go out there if i were in you lot's shoes,i think theres a big casino or somewhere showing it on big screens over there.
Get your asses over there and get smashed

Al mate get one off a broker i have paid for mine £385, probably for the shittest ticket in the house, but im not bothered. Go on GoldenBoy's site and see a link for Brokers, i rang MGM and the majority of there tickets have been given to brokers. If your willing to pay £385 mate you will get one.

Mayweather couldn't sell out the gym of the High School he attended if he fought there.

Well.

1. Its advertised on Goldenboy website.
2. It has been used before on other fights,
3. Use your credit card and get a booking receipt and you are insured.

MGM assured me its a genuine Broker they use
