    Mayweather fight question

    I was hoping some you guys who have attended a major fight in Vegas can help me out. I watch boxing all the time but I never actually been to a fight in Vegas.
    Well it turns out that i will be in Vegas May 4. So I'm trying to get tickets to the Floyd Mayweather fight however I do not see any announcements on ticketmaster or Google news for on sale dates. I have been checking everyday for 3 or so weeks.

    I do however see tickets for sale from all these third party sites. So my question is...

    When do they normally announce ticket sales?
    Or should I buy from one of these third party sites?

    Sorry for the dumb questions but thanks in advance!

    The tickets haven't even gone on sale yet so I can only imagine those 3rd parties aren't genuine.

    Just stay patient and wait for the tickets to officially go on sale. There will be some form of announcement when and where they will go on sale soon enough, just keep doing what you're doing and checking daily.

    Hope I was some form of help.

      always get from ticketmaster if you can.

      problem with the big fights (pacquiao and mayweather) is the cheapest tickets are never actually available on ticketmaster. so if you're looking for the cheapest you can get go to a site like stubhub but wait as long as you can because the prices will drop more and more the closer the fight gets. now if you're looking at the more expensive tickets you should be able to get them off ticketmaster as soon as they go on sale.

        Get on Ticketmaster the second they go on sale because all the affordable seats will be gone within minutes. The ticket brokers buy them all up and resell them to you for twice the cost.

            If I were you I'd wait until the friday before the fight. the brokers are gonna get the cheaper tix, but there will be some middle of the pack seats available for less than face value. Also, the MGM will have tickets for high rollers. Often those tix go unsold so may even get a comp.

            Patience will pay off!
