the total cost of going watch boxing if you dont live near the venue is sky high. decent tickets £70ish + £15 (postage & booking fee) £50 your share of hotel room £25 train ticket £60+ Beer, taxi's food (it was £5 a pint at Froch v Kessler) If the worst happens & 1 of them pulls out due to injury, you'll lose your booking fee & probably wont get a refund on your hotel. (I lost £20+ on the Fury v Haye tickets as didnt get booking fee back but i was lucky that i got a refund on the hotel i'd booked) ALSO: waited about 4 hours for a taxi after the Froch v Kessler fight as well.:fire:fire:fire Watching the boxing is good & Im glad i went Froch v Kessler, but my season ticket for the footy is £400 & the £200+ im saving by watching boxing on ppv is going to cover the cost of half my season ticket. Also going long weekend watch Tour de France & tour of Paris etc included & thats only £200. a bargain compared with the boxing.
Would much rather be in a tier anyway so long as it's covered. Get the feeling being sat miles back on the pitch will be awful.
My apologies mate, didn't make it clear. Just wouldn't fancy being in the cheaper seats on the pitch, think you'd be missing out big time.
I think you are underestimating some of them costs. If you want a decent ticket, you are going to have to pay a three figure sum. And to be honest if you want a good view you are going to need the VIP ticket, otherwise you are better off paying £30, watch it on the screen and be part of the atmosphere. If you are coming any distance you will be lucky to only pay £25 for a train ticket. Accommodation is a going to be at least £200 (£100 split between two), and that will be average at best accommodation. And £60 would barely cover the cabs for a night out in London. You need £300 in your pocket and a meal will cost another £70 each.
Not being funny, but why do that? If you going to something like that, you want to have a good time, and not worry about money... Within reason. Thus my example is around an average spend, you could easily spend a lot more.
I agree, I think if you are planning on going you may as well spend that bit extra (£100+ even) just to make sure you really get the best experience you can. Otherwise you could be sat in your £30 seats not having a good view/time and wishing you got £100 ones. If that is the case you have essentially wasted what you've spent on the cheap ticket, hotel etc anyway, so you might as well have just put what you wasted towards the more expensive ticket to guarantee you get the best experience you can... But what do I know, I can't even afford to get the cheapest experience on offer!
