    Chances of securing Ticketmaster tickets for big fights in Vegas

    What are the chances of securing tickets for a big fight in Vegas when they go on sale via Ticketmaster? I've heard it can be very difficult. Are all of the tickets picked up in seconds by scalpers or is there a chance for the public to actually buy some?

    it's really only hard for mayweather fights. the cheap seats are not even available. you have to try the higher priced ones.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up for getting any Pac/Mayweather tickets on ticketmaster if the fight happens.

      Do you know the average ticket prices for these type of events?

        Ive never had a problem.
        But the biggest fight i went to was Pac - Hatton. Never been to a Floyd fight.

        I dont get why they seem to not make the cheap seats available at first. Maybe they want people to buy the more expensive seats, or maybe they are just sold out. I always go for the mid-range seats and they are always available.

        Just make sure you get in there quick.
        If its Pac vs Floyd then who knows what the **** will happen.

          I've never had any issues. I went to May/Cotto, May/Guerrero and Canelo/Lara.

          The higher priced tix are always available. And there isn't a bad seat in the mgm.

            they all differ. for a typical mayweather fight you might be looking at something like $300, $500, $750, $1000. along those lines.

            kevin iole wrote that the highest ticket for mayweather/pac would probably be around 5K.
