    Not enough cheap seats for Alexander/Bradley.

    For all the *****ing and complaining about ticket sales, unless you want to buy a single ticket, there is no longer any 25 dollar seats left. I don't understand why GSP and King didn't open up other cheap sections for the fight to get even more fans to come. You're asking a lot out of a casual sports fans to throw down 60 dollars a pop.

    I just think they can only do so much in the Silverdome without making a ton of super ****ty seats.

    Plus they would rather sell the better ones before opening up more cheap ones.

        Yeah, but I was looking at the seating map and only section 108(far right side) is 25 dollars. What about the other side? Why not make that side 25 dollars too? I just don't get it. 3500 cheap seats is better than 1750 and a whole empty section.

          True enough, that was probably the plan if they needed them.

            I don't know why they didn't make about 5000 of the seats $15. That would get more interest of the fight and make it easier to sell the more expensive tickets. Instead it's gonna be packed the first few rows ringside, and than a huge empty gulf of seats and then one little section in the far corner packed.

              Yeah, maybe they will open that other section up tomorrow. I just find it strange that they finally filled a whole section but then everything else in unavailable for the price range. The 55 dollar section is filling up pretty nicely too. I think people jumped the gun on the attendance a bit too early.

                Yeah, there is gonna be some sections that don't have **** in em. The middle section at 55 dollars is at about row 30 of a possible 45 rows, so it should be filled. I'm in 115 which is a section that I haven't even seen sold. I bought tickets pre sale so I'm thinking that I'm gonna have plenty of room to lounge around. Row 1 on top of it.

                  Also by doing that, the promoters could generate interest in The Dome as a boxing venue for future fights...

                    I think they will probably end up selling the extra "cheap seats" for cheaper once the fight draws incredibly close.

                    However, I just hope that they get a number of fans in attendance, regardless.

                    Also, hoping for a good fight. Open the year up right, damnit.
