    Hear a good whisper that Joshua will be fighting Matt Skleton on the undercard... superb.

    Yeah that will be a decent step up for Joshua i'm sure he will probably handle it in a round or two.

    I'm guessing they will start pretty cheap.
    The view of the ring will be terrible but you do have the bonus of having the giant screens at each end.
    It will be like watching it on tv but enjoying all the atmosphere too.
    On the downside there will be more than the usual number of pissed up idiots kicking off with each other so you may end up seeing a fight or two without having to look too far.

    There isn't a bad view in wembley for football so even for the boxing the so called **** views(top tier) won't be 'that' bad if that's all you can afford.

    I was in the lower tier to watch the mighty leeds and I thought the seats were quite far back from the pitch.

    It's still watchable though. The top or middle tiers you'd be looking down on the fight. I went the 02 for the Kessler fight and sat just above ringside for the bellew fight and didn't rate the view as much as the £90 seat at the back that I watched froch Kessler from.

    Hearn just said the cheapest tickets will be £30 and the capacity is starting at 60,000 and then increasing.

    Not bad pricing but means that they start with no upper tier being open (around 39,000 capacity on upper tier)

    Was going to look at getting row 1 of upper tier seats as i think lower tier may be too low

    I thought the upper tier were the £30 seats.

    so did I but roughly calculating it makes sense that they wont be opening the upper tier. 90,000 seats-39000 = 51,000 which would leave 9,000 on the floor which is what eddie said about 60,000 starting. Unless he's opening both long sides upper and lower then open the ends after?

    Heads up for people, if you go on Wembley website you can click on a link that gives you a view from each block

    Top right on the website

    Exactly. Usually you would get something like £120 or £160 thrown in. I imagine that has to be the case here. As I'm travelling over I don't mind paying a bit more for a better view but don't really want to pay much more than £120.

    Last year for Froch Kessler II the website kept crashing on me so I had to buy from Viagogo. Ended up paying £120 for a £60 ticket. Mate in work paid £250 for a £60 ticket! Hopefully because of the size there won't be as big of an issue over tickets this time out.

    Wembley isn't that expensive to book, they make their money from all the ale and food the punters buy. As well as a cut of the programme money.

    There will be some tickets at £30, £40 but those are the ones were it's actually better to watch it at home. I'd like a first tier, at the side of the pitch - probably talking £80-£100.

    they dont make any money from the food and beer, that is all a separate company called delaware (obviously delaware pay wembley to be there but not a cut of the days money)
