    Absolutely scandalous!!

    £40 in the gods in the corner, shocking view.
    £60 in the gods, shocking view
    £75 in the gods parallel to the ring, too high up.

    Tickets for the lower tier are between £100-£150

    floor seating - over 200

    ringside £500

    It's been a while since i've been to a big show. This surely can't be normal.

    What are your views?

    Pretty pricey especially for a non title fight. Does anyone know how many they have sold?

    Was looking at my old ticket stubs & my Ruiz v Haye ticket was £60 and that was lower tier on the side/corner. Great seats.

    They're now £150.

    Exactly, it's not even a close fight.

    i was really angry to find out the the £75 tickets that i am going to be ordering will only put me in the top tier parallel to the ring.

    I remember paying £75 when khan fought Barrera and i had fantastic lower tier seats with a great view.

    This just takes the ****.

    i saw ringside tickets for sale on some website last night for £1,693.00!!!!

    Yeah I bought those too. Cracking seats. Also paid 75 for both Audley/Ruiz fights and they were just as good.

    Its a liberty but I can't go anyway.

    Well it's a good job he's at least fighting such a phenomenal athlete and all round superstar in Manny Charr.

    Thats the only saving grace :lol::roll:

    The most i have ever paid for a ticket is £100 off a tout to see united at everton (in the united end)

    Eddie Hearn is worse than a tout!

    It will be interesting if this sells out. They must be banking on Haye's mega fame from 'Im a celebrity get me outta here' to rack in more readies at the ticket office.

    I cant see too many middle aged housewives and potato couches forking out those readies to see Haye, especially as it is on Sky Sports 1.

    Very pricey, it will be interesting to see if touts will be selling unsold ones at a loss on the night.

    Shocking pricing, same as Froch-Kessler I think.
    I hope Hayemaker change their mind in Sept/Oct fight!

    Would be good if boxing fans made a stand and refused to pay it. They would have no choice but to lower it then.

    But that would never happen unfortunately.

    He overpriced the tickets for the fight with Barrett (obviously a lot cheaper than these) and in the end had to sell them buy 1 get 1 free. You would have thought he would learn his lesson... But I guess we will see how the tickets sell and what the undercard is like... A big groves fight as main support?
