    Pacquiao/Bradley - my first fight...seat price question

    The Pacquiao - Bradley fight will be the first big fight I've attended in person and I cant wait.

    How long would you wait to buy seats via StubHub? Ticket prices have been pretty steadily coming down in the last couple of weeks but I'm not sure if I wait much longer if they are going to hit a floor and bounce back up.

    Right now looking at front row seat in the 200 section (216). From the few pictures I've seen the front row of the upper deck seems decent and from having been to concerts there before it - to me - definitely does not seem that big once you are inside.

    Had hoped some lower level seats would come down in price but doesnt seem to be the case just yet.

    Thanks! So excited!!!

        My one piece of advice is try to avoid sections directly behind a corner of the ring. The cameramen and the lighting scaffolding can get in the way of your view. Get a section that's centered between two ring posts on one side of the ring.

        I would buy the tickets on StubHub asap as well so you can have them shipped to you and not deal with Will Call

          And most of all, enjoy the fight! I have been to a lot of fights but there is definitely something special about a huge fight in Vegas. You will never forget it!

                Is that 2p Vegas time?

                Would have loved to go Friday night as well but my gf is coming with me so I used a fairly complex calculation to determine that one night of boxing was all I could get away with lol.

                There were some seats in the middle off the 100 level - sec 115 or 111 - towards the center of the ring. They werent too much more so I think those are probably the ones I'll grab.

                Am I correct in thinking that these seats are better than ones in the back of say section 24?

                Thanks for all the advice - I cant WAIT!!!!

                  Oh final question - what time does the undercard start usually? I am so used to watching fights on East Coast time where sometimes the whole undercard isnt even on tv. Would love to at a minimum catch the Arce fight. Honestly I think I've enjoyed his last couple of fights more than the Pacquiao fights.
