Advice needed

Be verrrry careful about buying tickets that are anything other than official.

I know it is damn near impossible to do so the likely hood is that you'll have to take the risk.

But I have a horror story where by I bought a pair of $1000 dollar seats off ebay for the Mayweather Hatton fight. The guy who delivered them to my house was nice as pie and the tickets were legit upon inspection so I thought "sorted!".

Well, when I got there I'd been told that although the tickets were legit, they'd been reported stolen and been re-issued!

The manager was nice enough to allow us to buy some $600 seats but we were left with no money for the rest of the trip and the stress of it all ruined the whole event for me and a mate.

I did actually end up getting my money back believe it or not when I returned which I respect the guy for - He said he was selling them for a friend who obviously screwed him too.

It just wasn't worth the trouble - be careful.

Also, unless you're mega rich, I'd forget it - The cheapest tickets are $500 compared to Hatton Mayweather tickets which were $150 for cheap seats. On top of that you need to at least double or triple the face value. It all gets very expensive..

Ringside are $2500.

I'm gonna try and get out there but I doubt I'll get to see it live.

Many thanks for the advice.

I am willing to pay £500 via a ticket agency for the fight, although i take it you wont see much with a poor seat in the MGM?

Does anyone have any respected ticket agencies?
I am terrified of paying big money only to find out it is a fake.

Thanks

Call the hotel the fight will be at and ask for a package deal if offered, Room, Tickets, Taxi back and forth to the airport etc.....If you call ahead of ticket sale date many times you can be put on a list....Just inquire how many others are ahead of you...After that hit ticket Master for legit tickets....Then look for Hotels outside the immediate city of Vegas for cheaper rooms rent a car...Best way to go

Get on ticketmaster on the day. I had a $150 ticket off them for the Pacquiao/Hatton fight & I personally thought the view was ok & I was in the cheapest brand of seats.

Ticketmaster is the one.

Where are you flying from? If it's the UK, I'd get on lastminute.com to get a package deal asap. Also look to spend more than a weekend as it's actually cheaper to book about a week, as I did when I went out. Only cost me £400 for flight & hotel.
