Pacquiao-Marquez Tickets OFFICIALLY Sold Out
On the heels of this:
Checked Ticketmaster, can't even get 1 ticket. Cong**** to both fighters (and the promoters I guess)
Few tickets left for Pacquiao's Nov. 12 fight with Marquez
MANILA, Philippines — Tickets to the Nov. 12 trilogy between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas are hard to come by.
Top Rank chief Bob Arum said over the weekend that he only has six tickets remaining and even if one buyer gets all of them to give away to friends and family, they’ll end up seated in different locations at the 16,000-capacity MGM Grand Garden Arena.
“Nobody has tickets to sell. Manny **Pacquiao) is out of tickets,” said Arum.
First to go was the premium priced $1,200 and Arum said the remaining tickets are priced at $900 and a sprinkling of $600.
The cheapest $200 has long been sold out.
Tickets are being peddled on-line but the value is several times more than the original price.
One ticket-seller has listed the price of the $1,200 at nearly $17,000.
Tickets were made available for public selling at the end of July.
Not everything went on sale since Top Rank and even the big bosses at the MGM Grand had already kept a certain percentage of tickets.
Still, Arum is ecstatic over the public’s tremendous response to the rubber match.
“Everything is going well,” said the 79-year-old Hall of Fame promoter.
When Pacquiao and Marquez answer the bell for their world welterweight title clash, the venue is going to be electric, assured Arum.
