Froch vs Groves at Wembley 31.05.14

[Lenny Rider]

Will they fill it?

Largest crowd for a boxing match in this country was 55,000 in 2008 for Hatton's homecoming v Lazcano, Eddie Hearn is predicting 80,000 but I think he will need to get the ticket prices right for that.

Groves blitz inside 6 rounds otherwise same result as last time.

Lowest ticket prices are £30. The upper tier is not being sold yet, so the initial target is 50,000.

Want to lump all my moolah on the obvious result, but have a feeling Froch will pull out. Surely he will...

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Looked up Clay v Cooper at same venue, only 35k surprising!?

AS I told everyone last night, unless you spunk up big cash for ringside seats you're better off watching it on TV. 80000 is a lot of tickets to sell so expect a massive hype campaign

What are the prices Mr B? Planning a bit of a day out.

Where are these tickets being sold?

You can either register on the link below or wait for an announcement on ticket prices and purchasing information will be made later this week.

They'll be released on Matchroom Sport next Monday. Think Fast Car said the cheapest are £30, but decent view will probably be more like £120.

I'd leave it until the start of May if you're buying cheap seats, cos they're unlikely to sell out and it'll save you getting stung for booking fees if the fight gets called off in the meantime.

Groves just tweeted he is in London applying for a managers licence. There is an argument that Froch took Groves too lightly in the first fight, Groves seems intent on distracting himself from the job in hand. If things go wrong for him, he could end up as welcome in boxing circles as Terry Marsh.

Should have had it at the O2, open air venues are rubbish for watching boxing especially if it's pissing down

SURELY they will close the ROOF

60,000 tickets sold in 60 mins!
They're going to sell the top tier now.

Did anyone get a ticket?
I was on the seetickets website for 30 mins and was unable to get the tickets I wanted.

 

[PWA]

Yes.

2 tickets, Lower Tier, £40 each.

No problems, all done by 12:02pm.

Tickets haven't been sold but gone to touts and agents plus the boxers to sell

 

[elninobonito]

Nope, was trying from three diff PC's at work this morning for a good 45 minutes and didn't get a sniff. 2 tickets on ebay already up to £235!! £44 tickets started auction at £150!! Shouldn't be allowed, Its gonna be ridiculous!

This. I'd like to think no-one will buy them and the touts will be left with a large hole in their pocket, but of course people will fork out 4 - 5x the original price to see something they can see on TV anyway.

I had a colleague on speed dial from 12 till 130, line was constantly engaged. Does this mean if I ring Froch or Groves they will be able to get me two together?



And then what do you know, I log into my hotmail account, the one I registered for tickets via Matchroom, and I've already got an email offering me tickets for sale at an inflated price.

Then again should I expect anything less from the Hearns?

 

[Albion Robster]

I simply refuse to purchase the £30 tickets in the clouds, as the views will be awful. You'll have to take binculars with you to see the fighters in action.
I would rather purchase the package at home and invite mates round to watch it.
I really hope the touts get stung on this fight, I hope people won't pay triple or quadriple face value on the tickets. The media bandwagon and the trash talking has'nt really began yet!!

Always better to buy online than over the phone, particularly today - there wasn't a limit on how many people could buy in one transaction via the blower. Fast Car says he is going to put the other 20,000 on sale soon, you'll have no problem if you go for them online.
