    Similar arrangements are in place to ensure tickets are available to buy at a number of websites as follows:

    1. Professional Ticket Touts:
    Touts should use the See Tickets Website again at 11.45 am to make unlimited bulk purchases.

    In the unlikely event that any unauthorised member of the public gains access to tickets on the See Tickets Website, we guarantee that the culprits will need to buy a telescope to see the action.

    2. Genuine Boxing Fans:
    You will be pleased to find that you don't need to waste your time again on the See Tickets Website for 2 hours.

    The touts will kindly make 95% of the 20,000 tickets available to buy at grossly inflated prices from 12.05 pm on a number of websites including Stubhub and Seatwave.

    The ticket tout industry wish to thank you all for your cooperation and continued support.

    most of the tout tickets with a decent seat where you can make out what's going on have gone, although you will still be able to get some.

    the tickets for poor seats where froch and groves will look like 2 ants are still widely available at prices upwards of a £100.

    Good chance to ruin the touts but it takes everyone to hold firm with a boycott but it won't happen with this fight.

    The touts are bad enough but it really is a farce when companies such as Seatwave has an army of staff armed with multiple credit cards etc buying tickets for resale at extortionate prices for all popular events.

    The ordinary fan stands little chance of buying tickets direct.

    sign up now, add all your delivery details and payment info, log in tomorrow at 11.55, keep refreshing and once it hits 12 if your lucky you should have some tickets. if it crashes on you then there's nothing you can do. best thing is to log in on multiple devices, laptop, pc, tablet and phone, one of them should go through.

    Best bet I'd imagine is to see what's going at the last minute if they can't shift them.

    Even when you follow the above, the site will crash for ordinary customers for 2 hours but somehow the touts appear to be immune from this.

    They must be using software to bombard the site with automatic purchases.

    Good luck to anyone looking to buy tomorrow.

    Let me make this crystal clear. I'm still stunned you don't get it.

    You make product A. You put product A on the market and you have 80,000 units to sell.

    There is seemingly huge interest and a few companies snap up the majority of the units from you.

    They then try to resell your product at an inflated price feeling you've undersold the product.

    But guess what? You've SOLD your product and received the money for it so you don't give a ****.

    If the companies who have tried to resell your product fail, that's on them, you've made your money and can laugh all the way to the bank.

    This is so incredibly simple. How do you fail to understand it?
