Touts and empty seats inside the Arena

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by redandwhiterob, May 26, 2013.

  1. Was reading on here how touts would have bought up loads of tickets that would go unsold due to the huge mark up they would want.

    Was there many seats inside that were left unused then and did anybody see any touts knocking tickerts out near the venue. What prices were they asking for etc etc

    It was rammo!. I didn't see any seats left empty and didn't see any touts but i got in had food and went in arena for first fight. But it was ram packed for main event.
     
  4. I was surprised how busy it was for the under-card tbh. Was there anywhere in the venue that was showing the CL final

    I am guessing that they must have been

    not 1 seat empty. Great night of boxing. The O2 was a nightmare to get away from. buses & tube shut very soon after the end of the fight & had to wait 3 hours for a taxi to get away from the O2

    Yeah inside the O2 there's bar's so they was showing SSN when i walked in and that was at 6ish. People seemed like fans even the casuals were into the fights.

    Yeah mate poxy transport it's a utter joke. I got on a shuttle bus to Waterloo and it decided to stop at random spots and take it's time so i missed last train. Had a burger with the Dortmund boys and 3 boys walked by and went ''you got beat by Munich, You got beat by Munich na na na na. Na na na na You got beat by Munich.'' :rofl:rofl.

    They were doing free buses back to central London across the road from the station, after the interviews and when Froch went around the ring with his belts we left the arena and got directed to the free buses across the road, straight on the bus and back to central London.

    me too probably the busiest iv ever seen an undercard.

    I went in had food few beers then went through for bellow fight and undercard.think main reason is once you enter main arena not allowed back through.
