    Fun fight but only gone for a £40 ticket because it won't last long and the last big show at Wembley had a poor card. Will cost £20 to watch on TV and I'm in West London that day anyway so it's worth the extra £20.

    i've been to wembley and millenium stadium shows, and honestly, if you haven't got ringside, you might as well watch it at home, you just watch it on the big screen anyway and that was when i was on the pitch. i won't be going to another stadium fight unless its a Joshua/Wilder type fight.

    think they were £5,000 for AJ/Parker. i had £300 for the Parker fight and could only just see them from the chest up, and had £200 for Klitschko fight and had to stand on my seat just to see their heads

    I disagree to be honest.

    I went to the Joshua vs Klitschko show and was sat in line with the halfway line and on the front row of the upper tier and I didn't need to rely on the big screens once.

    That seat cost me £80.

    Will the same apply for my £40 seat? I honestly don't know but for £20 more than it'll cost me for sitting at home and watching it on a small screen, I might as well go to Wembley and be part of the experience either way.

    If you live close to Wembley i would almost agree but having been to a much smaller stadium fight i advise you to go to the pub instead

    I don't live too far from Wembley and am in that part of town regardless on the Saturday.

    Ironically the worst seat I have ever had for a stadium show wasn't the 90,000 Wembley but the less than half sized Upton Park for the Burns vs Katsidis show.

    Even if you are in the cheap seats with a crappy view its still a great day/night out type of thing.

    Go down London see the sights during the day, shoot over to the stadium, sweet Caroline then hit the town for a night out.

    Or yeah just sit at home

    They were never 5k. It’s 2k for inner ringside which used to be 1/1.5k. I had a £300 one for the Takam fight and I was basically in the inner ringside. I had a £300 one for the Klitschko fight and I was front row behind inner ringside, the seats were absolutely superb. I did however try to get the same seats for this and they’ve gone up to £800! Scandalous.
