    was thinking about taking a group of work mates using their VIP service.

    Anyone used it? wondering what the seats are like and what comes with it

    Looked a while back on their site but couldn't find out much

    I've done it for a Prizefighter a couple of times. Tickets were about £100 from memory and the seats were just outside ringside perimeter rail. Pretty decent.

    You get a few shitty canapes handed round in the bar and free beer and wine. I think dependent on the show they sometimes close the bar before the TV coverage starts to make sure the seats in view of the cameras aren't all empty.

    I'd assume York hall prizefighter might be a bit different to an arena show.

    anyone been to an arena VIP?

    To watch Britain's two best heavyweights fight against each other, It's a bargain.

    And the card is stacked. You'll get a long night of action.

    They are both well below world level.

    The prices being charged are a disgrace.

    Stop making multiple users Francis.

    I got them for Bellew's last fight and got them again this time round. I was 5 rows from the ring and got a cracking view and a free bar and canape's for 3 hours from 5-8. Well worth the extra money in my opinion.

    Neither of them will be fighting vlad for a good long while.

    And you need drug testing to suggest paying £500+ for that show for the good seats, or for any seats for that fight

    ****Warning, Warning, Bullshitter Alert, Bullshitter Alert************

    I am going to watch Wlad v Pulev in Hamburg on 6 September so Wanky Boy conned the few who bought tickets.

    Having already watched Fury v Journeyman Plodder Chisora at Wembley Arena 3 years ago in front of no more than 1,500 fans, people are not going to pay 3 times the ticket prices for a repeat domestic fight which was a stinker.

    World Championship Prices for a domestic repeat dust up is comical.

    The big black curtain will be across the arena and the Fury wins on points easily again.

    vip well well worth it.

    Great seats get too see few boxers who always accomadating if want a photo.Get a bar to chill out in beforehand and best seats in the house.

    Only way to do matchroom show imo

    I might have a look at this VIP business for matchrooms next big show - sounds like it's a kind of cool service

    If Fury & Chisora hadn't fought a few years back, think this would have been a sell out. But as they did and the fight was anything but a classic it's struggling to sell (apparently?)

    Do think the fight will be better this time round, both have improved and with it being a eliminator.. little more at stake.

    Matchroom VIP - for a decent show - will be worth paying more so than one of The Warden's shows, I'd rather do it for Bellew/Clev II than Fury/Chisora II.

    matchroom vip is terrible, buy ringside seats for Fury-Chisora and watch a war.
