Paid Members BigJag Posted August 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Adrian Chiles got it wrong. Cheers for the correction. Ariel is tweeting from some type of May Mac event. That must have been what Chiles was on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted August 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 There's some event on right now that people are Tweeting about, but it's not being streamed anywhere. Not sure what it is. Edit - found it: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Last night was something they, rather preposterously, called the 'grand arrivals'. This week is going to be nuts, clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted August 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2017 Why are boxing events always so cahotic? Its like they pay no attention to organisation and presenting themselves as professionals. Everything is always so messy. I especially hate the need to have a thousand people in the ring after a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bono Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05d28sw  is this true?7000 tickets left?i thought it sold out within minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 23, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's been well known for a few weeks ticket sales have stalled, BUT, it's worth noting the price of said tickets and the fact they've made over $60M+ off tickets already. I think the record is $72M. People will buy some of that 7k, come fight night. Money-wise, even if they don't sell the next 7k, it's still a massive financial success.

Paid Members lambyUK Posted August 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'm in no doubt come fight night tickets will be all gone. I remember some massive events having a shit ton of tickets left come fight week and they were sold out by fight night. Mcgregor vs Diaz 2 is a prime example. On top of that, what the presenters are referring to in that clip are resale sites link to the official box office, and loads of people play the touts at their own game by waiting till fight night to reduce the price of the tickets. When tickets are this expensive, it was inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTXRussomark Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I don't think it can be stated enough just how much this fight has captured the general public's imagination. I have zero interest in boxing, zero interest in MMA, have never seen a single Mayweather or McGregor fight, and yet I've gone to the trouble of sourcing a Now TV box just so I can PAY to watch this thing live while me and a few pals (who similarly have zero interest usually but are desperate to see this) are away for the weekend. The amount of people in my office talking about this thing is insane. They've done a tremendous job of making it feel like something important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2017 It looked like an absolute circus last night, with Conor starting fights with everyone. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combining how many seats are left in the various sections, there appear to be 2,408 tickets left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted August 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2017 Yeah, the rest of the tickets are on the secondary market. They don't count because they've been paid for. They'll count as empty seats on the night, but not as "unsold". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
