Just had a look at the ticket agency site. They are proposing to charge a 10% 'handling fee' plus £5 per ticket 'booking fee'. So on a face value £500 ringside seat it will cost £555!! A couple of quid per ticket booking fee I could understand but this has 'rip off you suckers' written all over it. The ticket prices are £500,£400,£300,£200,£100,£50,£40. Furthermore there is no indication of where each category is situated in the stadium!! I don't know about anyone else, but if going to spend £400-£600 on a pair of ticket I'd like to know what area of the ground I'll be sitting!! I have posted a comment on Warren's website and included my email and have requested a response to both the above.Suggest others who agree with me do the same.
I wasn't refering to the actual ticket prices. I understand they will be expensive. I'm talking about a £50 handling charge on a single ringside ticket,ie 10% of the face value
I asked Warren the same question. Am currently awaiting reply It seems fair enough to me that one ought to see where the seats are, before spending 300 quid Looking forward to drinking a pint with you all in Cardiff
Let's all hope Warren takes a beating on this card,but knowing Warren,if the ticket and tv are not going well,Calfaggi will have another hand "injury".:|:yep
It's going to be on Setanta, the first fight I think of their new deal with Warren. So that's goodbye to free-to-view boxing yet again. They're a subscription channel, available on Freeview (with a little card), cable, satellite, or online. It costs around £10-15 per month, which tempted me when they showed Hatton-Castillo, but is certainly too much to watch just Warren fights, unless he coughs up for some more interesting fighters like Haye or some foreigners.
They have a deal with sports academy as well. They also bought the rights for Cotto-Judah which is a good sign. Also Warren now has a deal with both Setanta and ITV, ITV are going to keep showing Kahn so it's not the end of free to view boxing. And £10 a month for setanta which includes premiership football among other sports is actually cheap especially if you get it through sky as that gets you 8 soon to be 9 channels. Setanta will be showing more than just warren fights it isn't an exclusive deal.
