The cheapest ticket is $505 (£361) in the upper stands!
Cheapest ticket for Joshua v Klitschko was £40! Cheapest for Klitschko v Fury was £29!!!
Honestly, any American, please tell he how you lot can stand for these kind of prices!!??
That’s actually cheap, don’t let those £50 tickets fool you. It’s the nose bleeds. The ones that are closer to the rings are too expensive.
They are having this fight in Vegas, when I attended Fury v Wilder 2 at the MGM I paid 400 dollars for my ticket with my little bro. And the seats were not bad at all.
They will be giving away tickets closer to the date so they can have a full house. My brother got free tickets to Mayweather/Berto the Friday before listening to a time share pitch. They already had plans for that Saturday so they just gave them away in a casino the day of the fight.
I think they are anticipating this to be a big fight. The LA press conference was meant to attract Hollywood and other celebrities. They reckon they can sell a lot of tickets to the rich and upper-middle class. Perhaps, it can be lowered later if tickets do not sell.
But at $500+ for the cheapest ticket, they think it will be a big fight. By contrast, AJ vs Ruiz started at $106 only.
Well I'm not sure the likes of Bob have any interest or need to grow the sport. So they'll continue with overpriced PPVs and tickets. Fewer eyes on the sport? Don't care, count the money that comes in that night.
Very short term thinking. But what do you expect from a 90 year old?
The Klitschko fights were in stadiums, being much further away from the ring for the cheap seats.
Doesn't really answer my question though. A cheap seat for Fury v Wilder 3 was a VIP level ticket for Fury v Klitschko...its crazy.
I think they know the PPV will bomb
Allegiant Stadium is exactly what it says. Look at the image below - the farthest seats look about the same as Wembley
