    Right, got £75 tickets booked for Haye vs Chisora in the upper section of the Bobby Moore stand, row O. Just wondering if anyone who went to Mitchell Katsidis knows if these are shitty seats or not? If so I might try and chage them to seats in the lower stands.

    The map on the Eventim website doesn't really help when you've never been in a football stadium (yes really!), I've got no reference for how far away from the ring i'll be.

    The people who went to the Mitchell Vs Katsidis fight wont really be able to give you an answer. In that fight the ring was in the corner of the field, very close to the Bobby Moore Stand. In the Haye Vs Chisora fight the ring is in the center of the field.

    Ok cheers, didn't realise that. Just couldn't figure out if you'd have a better view from the lower stands or not. My mate booked the tickets and he's ****ing useless, if you want a job done properly etc....

    Typically, row O is predictably the 15th row up in a football stand, so quite good i'd imagine. Once the steps get to row z (26), the commence with Aa, Bb and so on. Though I will fortunately be ringside, I suspect you have a prime stand seat assuming you are in line with the ring.

    A few people on here have said it was better to get the £75 tickets then the £100 ones. This is because your view is less likely to be blocked in the stands. I don't know if lower or upper is better.
    I will say that the Bobby Moore Stand is at the end of the field (behind the goal) and will therefore be further from the ring than the stands that run down the length of the pitch.

    BMU you'll be fine. I usually sit right at the back of the BMU and have a perfect view of the half way line (where the ring will be).

    Speaking to someone on the ticket hotline, they were saying that the ring would be closer to the bobby moore side.
