So who has been to a vegas fight...I need some answers

The sports people are con merchants. They charge a fortune.

 

The only problem was that the keep the costs down the outward journey was Liverpool-Amsterdam-Chigago-Denver-Vegas. It was good laugh having drinks in the different airports but I was in charge of the paper work and it was a nightmare after of few drinks......

 

:admin

 

That was a loooooong day mate!!

 

You stopped in Amersterdam - are you sure it was more than drink that was causing you to problems keeping a straight head. :rasta

 

flying direct is more expensive if you have a bit of holiday left from work then why not fly with united into either la or san fran spend a few days checking the place out then onto vegas the flight is only 3-4 hours, for the hatton fight we stopped on the way did some shopping went to alcatraz then onto vegas it was a blinding break andwe got to see abit more of vegas

 

Lucky *******!:good

 

Can I just add, you should definitely get a ticket before you go, through an official retailer or a ticket scalping website. I've done that everytime I've been - everytime but last time; when I got burned! I decided to buy one off the ticket touts hanging around the MGM Grand. What a mistake that was! Turned out to be fake. Couldn't tell the difference. So, if I were you, I'd spend a little bit more and buy one before you go.

 

Worst was flying home via Vancouver after Hatton -Mayweather. 8 hours in a freezing city without a coat.

....and Vancouver is ****.

I'm lookin at goin to Pac V Cotto but have heard mixed stories about gettin a ticket before hand??

I've heard of people payin $1000 for a ticket for Hatton V Floyd & one of their mates got one outside for $500 & had a better seat??

I am in 2 minds as to what to do & would appreciate your experiences.

By the way tickets go on sale 17th Aug

Ticket prices are $1000 (ringside & Blocks L1 to M24), $750 (U1 -U24), $500 (101 - 117), $300 (L201 - L219) $150 (A few just in the corners).

 

Ignore that crap about these guys getting better seats for $500 than the $1000 job, What you'll & we'll all be up aginst is the scalpers, these ****ers are organised on-line like an army & they usually suck up 50% of the tickets minimum within 30 seconds of them going on sale.

I advise you 2 buy the best you can afford, It's all down 2 what the ticketmaster computer spits out at you too where you'll be. I had $1000 for the Hatton/Pacman fight & it was section M13 ROW Q seat 1, ****IN FANTASTIC, DEAD CENTRAL, for the Cotto/margarito fight i had again the top price ticket of $700 M15 ROW U seat1, again fantastic view lookin right into the ring on both ov them & with no Cameramen in the way.

You don't want a floor seat as there crap, the yanks love-em as it's all about camera time being on the celebs ect, best seats are from ROW G-Q,

There are no bad seats really, some are just better than others, you'll expearence something like you've never done before mate i'll tell yer, if yer can fly direct as BA are going direct as from October so it might drive the prices down on Virgin, hotels are booked per room & not per person so 4 ov yer can bunk up, happy days:happy

 

My main advice would be to fly direct if you can afford it.

I had a package deal last time and had to redirect in Texas. Never again I was ****ed and would definitely pay the extra couple of hundred extra to go direct next time.

 

Jeezus, don't it make all the diff:yep On Virgin i get in at 2pm/11 hours/4pm departure/10 hours, i remember going too the Chavez/Taylor 1 fight & i went CHEAP & 18 hours later.........WRECKED:verysad

 

Nice one Duranimal!

Think i'm gunna get the $1000 tickets.

So are the floor seats that poor? I was lookin to get Lower to middle tiers anyway but i'm weary of when the seats are spat out on Ticketmaster & say the spat a floor seat out, i would have considered takin it. Cos if you reject them i think you may end up with worst seats??

I've been told there will be circa 15,000 tickets, how fast do you anticipate they will go by the 'Scalpers' on Ticketmaster??

Any idea what time they usually go on sale on Ticketmaster UK time?

Had a look before as an idea for Mayweather v JMM tickets and could still get one before in M13 Row S


Oh an nice one with the flights but i'm sorted for that

 

Floor seats are shite AND expensive. Bad combination....;O)
