    No. That happens sometimes when a guy like DC3383 got lucky but most of the tix never go on sale. They say the fight is sold out but its really not. Its not even close to being sold out.

    All the tix go to Casinos and mostly brokers who buy it for a fixed price and then resale them for marked up prices. The promoters do this because they then put the risk all on someone else. The promoters sold them to the brokers so its considered a sellout but now the brokers do what they want which is always to mark it up.

    Basically 90% of the tix were never even going to be available on tix master and were already sold before they went on sale. Now you have to pay the marked up price on stubhub and other sites.

    It use to be a big deal here a few years ago and they said they were going to get Congress involved. They talked about how the average man cant take his kids to games anymore and its not fair. However, I havent heard anything about it in a long time. Basically the average fan is screwed
    Congress doesn't care because they only usually on the end where they always get tickets. Lucky would be a understatement. I got lucky on the 3rd time. The first time I had 1k ticket and it got purchased as i had it in my cart. the 2nd time I didn't click on international buyer and it don't let you click back to change. Then there was a 5 minute period where no tickets would come up. Then the floor seats popped up and i went for them.

        now i ask my fellow fight fans this would it be worth it to still make the trip out to vegas and catch the weigh in... and maybe a closed curcuit? should you have missed the opritunity to purchase ur tickets and you'd rather not pay triple the price for some nose bleeds?

            MGM is one of the few places that if I had it, I wouldn mind paying extra for nosebleeds because there is really not a bad seat in the house. It only holds 15 or 16 thousand and they built it pretty well so none of the seats are really that bad
