    Use skyscanner.net for the flights, will show you the cheapest direct and indirect flights.

    Usually the casino sell them through their website and the us ticketmaster, probably go on sale about 2months before the fight- this was the case for Floyd vs Shane.

    I got this quote thru for tickets from Queensbury for the Rios/Acosta fight

    Ringside/lower mezzanine/sidebox seating £255(cost price 233 dollars)
    Upper mezzanine £145(cost price 117 dollars)
    Casino level £110(cost price 66 dollars)

    Quite a big mark up I thought. Has anyone booked tickets thru the US ticket master before? Is it possible to book thru the hotels for these events

    I use both US ticketmaster & MGM Box office & it's will-call, pick-em up when yer get there.

    There's a problem now in Vegas with regards to the big fights in that 90% of the tickets never ever actually go on public sale anymore regardless of the lies & bull**** spouted out about being sold out in 30 minutes ect, not true, GBP are the biggest **** culprits of the practise of unloading the majority of tickets to agencies & sharing the $$$ chop. There's a federal investigation in progress at the moment into this "touting" practise. All the premium TV floor seats & lower 1st level ring central seats will never go on public sale. It'll be the seats to the side & corners. BUT there's no bad seats in the house, there all ****in brilliant, just being there is awesome.

    Tickets go on sale at 10am Pacific time & thats 6pm here so you can hang on the phone & try to get through to the box office & if you go through the MGM site they'll take you through to the US ticketmaster. Reserve yer room now at the MGM or any other hotel as there giving an alledged 25% discount if you register on their guestbook. Just phone & ask them if they'll do you a room/fight deal, they never turn down $$$$$ in vegas.

    How long you staying mate? I'm thinking of going for a week now as on average it's only about £100 more (flights and hotel wise anyway). Think the Bellagio was about £800 for a week with flights for when I wanna go.

    I'm booked for 4/5 nights, not sure how much it cost as the trip wasn't booked by me. I'll find out and let you know how much it was.

    No, probably not. The prices they quoted for tickets seemed too high. My gf booked me a trip to vegas for my 30th, it was only by luck that Rios/Acosta fell on the time she booked it. Was going to try go and see Morales/Marquez with my pals but that's a non starter now.

    Not sure how i'm sorting out tickets yet.

    :lol:

    Pretty much the same. Got everything sorted, hotels, flights, what we're gonna do for the week, but the whole reason we're going is for Pac-Mosley... And we have no tickets and don't know when they're going on sale or anything.

    We're going in August, just waiting/hoping for a big fight to be heavily rumoured or confirmed so we can book it, hopefully one happens.

    The only annoying thing about trips/holidays like this is coming back! All I ever think about is saving up to get away again.

    Can ticket master send your tickets to the hotel you're staying at or even deliver to Britain?

    Not that I know of, they definitely wont send over here as sometimes tickets for events dont come out till days before the event.

    Just pick them up at the venue on the day/night.

    :good

    That's what I heard too. I'm just gonna keep checking the MGM site. The Cotto-Mayorga fight has just popped up and will go on sale on the 17th, so they give a few days notice.
