    Shows the greed of Hearn letting this happen...pretends to be "man of the people", yet he's quick to shun fans for a bigger paycheque

    I went on at 12 got 6 tickets on the 2nd row of the top tier in the corner, then got greedy and tried to get seats near the centre.. Went back to the page and tried to look up my postcode and ended up exceeding the time limit! Just as i was giving up hope of getting tickets managed to get 6 in the lower tier 20 rows back at the end. Doubt I'll be able to see much but I'm going for the atmosphere.

    Tickets through these third party sites will come down in price, you'll probably be able to get tickets for not much more then face value come fight night. I remember looking at tickets for the week before the first fight and they were going for around face value.

    He could make sure that tickets cannot be sold via 3rd party, or put a limit on the number of tickets people can buy....there's plenty more he could have done.

    It's naive to think he hasn't been given somewhat of a "bonus" from 3rd parties to be able to sell tickets

    Its ok being a ticket tout but what if you don't sell them Big gamble !
    The losses can be big !
    I hope the touts loose out? but cannot blame Eddie a sale is a sale and when you take a place like Wembley on every grand that comes in is a grand less you have to find.

    Its ridiculous the prices, no way they will sell out the top tier with the prices they are on the touting websites.

    If they really want to stop touts they could make the ticket purchaser show id on the day.
