    £40 tickets for sale for £200 on seatwave.

    HAs anyone phoned through and been told it's officially sold out or are we relying on this tinpot website?
     
  2. Nobody can get through on the phone and Sky reporting that 60,000 tickets sold

    That's a disgrace! How long did it take for them to sell out?

    ****ing ridiculous, been trying online and phone since 12 and didn't get a sniff. And to find out they are up for sale on other sites already just rubs salt into the wound.

    Same, I did get through but it all ****ed up ridiculous.
     
  10. There was a programme on TV a couple of years ago exposing these ticket companies reselling tickets at well over the face value.

    The ****s had an army of staff all ready with phones, multiple computers and multiple credit cards.

    No wonder fans struggle to buy a ticket.

    Wembley stadium biggest stadium in the country and barely had a chance to get a ticket its not right.
     
  12. 2,719 tickets on ticketstub
    1,077 on seatwave
    Probably another 50,000 amongst other tout

    Well done Eddie Hearn
     
  13. The ticket companies and touts are selling these tickets for more than 6 times face value FFS.

    The best way to shaft these people is for all boxing fans to take a stand and leave the 55,000 tickets in the hands of the ticket companies and touts so the ****s are ruined financially.

    I got through to payment page and then got booted back into the queue!

    Managed to get through second time but the website was horrendous. Ticketmaster is far better for me

    I got 6 tickets without issue as I was on the site at 12pm and know others that were fine as well.

    Unfortunately, this is what happens for all big sporting events, gigs etc. now with these legalised touting sites.

    It's a ****ing joke but it's certainly not just this event or Hearn etc. - it's everything.

    I do think some people underestimated the demand for this though including from people who aren't even casual boxing fans. I know people going who have barely watched a fight in their lives ffs.
