Tickets aren't as expensive as i thought they'd be........

In fairness he seems to be going for less is more..........Following the German blueprint.

Cheers Hampo

Going to attend make a weekend of it , think I'll go for the bowl 80 quid tickets, imagine pitch seats will be poor viewing.

Cheers Rodders

Pity there isn't a diagram of the seating arrangements like there is at some concerts so you have an idea what price is where..

Well priced tickets, will get looking on Monday - probably the £80 or £100 bowl tickets.

Always wonder with floor/pitchside seats whether you really get the value as surely you're looking up at the action all the time?

Only ever been floor level once TopHat and that was Newcastle arena for Calzaghe and the great Tocker Pudwill fight, it wasn't bad but I paid 100 quid for a ticket , the previous year I paid 50 tiered for the same venue for Calzaghe v Reid and the view was a lot better. Never been to a stadium fight before , Jeff was at the millennium I'm sure he was pitchside so be interesting on his opinion.

Cheers Rodders

I see you have fallen for Fast Eddie's smoke and mirrors. One born every minute. Don't worry, strongy will be along soon to point out to you why this is a rip off and proof positive that Eddie is on a one way mission to destroy boxing.

Did you have a good birthday, Jeff?

I reckon Strongy is Eddie..........You've seen the film Jekyll and Hyde.........

Hearn drinks a potion every night changes into Hack-squat hating Irishman and trashes himself on here !!...

He then wakes up half naked by the canal at dawn.........

£100 a ticket for Tocker Pudwill???

Chuck in inflation and that shows what a good price these tickets are, Eddie's done right - providing he doesn't fill the undercard with dross.

I was had by Warren mate, Calzaghe was supposed to be fighting his no 1 contender Thomas Tate and Hatton was on the undercard supposed to be fighting some undefeated South American banger.
2 weeks beforehand this was changed to Tocker Pudwill and Joe Hutchinson.

Cheers Rodders

People don't want to know who is on the undercard?

It was absolutely dire for Groves v Froch I.


The pitch at Wembley is 69.0metres wide. My estimate is the first bowl seat is at least 10.0 m from the edge of the pitch and this would not be a great seat due to its low elevation. In my estimation the best bowl seats will be 50.0 metres to the center of the pitch or more.

The £200 pitch seat is probably the first decent seat in the stadium.

I guess 69 is a number that's hard to forget........Before you get married..

I was pitchside at the millennium for Manfredo (takes some of the heat off Rodders for Pudwill). To be honest unless you are going to buy the expensive ones you are better with the lower tiered. I was not too bad as I am reasonably tall, but TSMR could not see sod all and ended up watching everything on big screen, which defeats the object somewhat.

Was in the better tiered seats for Kessler and was a far better experience.

You make a reasonable point Strongy, probably a better option is to hold it at the Doncaster Dome, alright you can only get 1000 people in so around 49,000 will be disappointed, but on the plus side those lucky 1000 will have a cracking view.

I don't think they'll have the ring in the centre circle, surely best to close half of the stadium off and push the ring close to the big stand.

Another Kell Brook warm up fight when the Porter fight goes t!ts up? Anthony Joshua fighting Matt Skelton (has anyone REALLY suggested Skelton as viable opponent...not even Skelton wants it). Toney "Oakey Cokey" Oakey fighting Steve Collins?

Gonna make it hellishly difficult to fit 80,000 people in only half of Wembley, Rodders. Anyway, if I want to be on the pitch miles away from the action and completely disconnected from what's going on, I'd just call myself Wayne Rooney and pretend I was playing for England

Thanks Jeff, 80.00 quid tiered I'll go for.

Watching a fight from 50 or 60 metres away is more appealing to some than others.

Particularly if the undercard is crap.

It must be over 100m to the £30 seats which would require a good quality set of binoculars. The yobs sitting there will be blind drunk anyway so maybe it doesn't matter.

If they sell 80000 Dave , I'll personally deliver Wayne Rooney to your front door so you can swing at him until your arms fall off.

I reckon they will use three sides of the stadium with the North and South Stands being equidistant from the ring.

I am curious Strongy, in Eddie's position what would you have done differently with regard to this fight? From what I can see he has made a fight fans want to see at a price they can afford in a venue big enough to cope with demand. However as a member of the moderation team I am obviously on Eddie's payroll so please remove the blinkers from my eyes and point out to me why this is the work of the devil.

Hate seetickets, transaction fees are a joke.

If you went for the £500 ones you'd have to pay an additional £30!!

What's that got to do with anything? Was he just demonstrating a willingness to be sh!te for free last night?

Lets see how many tickets Eddie sells.  If he sells 80,000 and the attendees are happy he has done a good job.  I have been to London grounds such as The Emirates, Standford Bridge and also Wembley. Wembley by comparison to the first two stadia I mentioned is absolutely enormous, I cannot emphasis the size enough.   If I were to pick the least suitable stadium for boxing in the UK I would choose Wembley.  The Emirates houses 50,000 and I can testify having been there many times that there is barely a bad seat in the house.  Viewing angles have been absolutely optimized and the seats, at least when they were built, were the roomiest in world football.

Wembley is like no other stadium I have been to in terms of scale.  There is an 80,000 capacity stadium in Ireland but it looks small compared to the colossal Wembley.  Watching the fight I envision views will be dreadful for most people in the bowls, the bowls have 5 tiers by the way.

The undercard would also need to be good.  Personally I would only go if I had £200 tickets.

Eddie could potentially have had 50,000 in The Emirates and people would have got better value for money.

Like I said earlier in the week, Eddie is under the assumption that people are going just to say they were there, not to actually watch the damn thing. It smacks of the Hatton homecoming which, I did hear had large swathes of people leaping about screaming "There's only one Ricky Hatton" and not actually watching the f*****g fight. No doubt there'll be something similar at Wembley.

Thing is though, if, and I acknowledge it is a big if, there is a demand for 80,000 tickets, 50,000 in the Emirates still leaves 30,000 disappointed. Also if does set it up for 50,000 to generate the same money he has to charge more, his alternative is to generate less and pay the fighters less. Either way either the fans or fighters lose. Reality is once you get past more than 20 yards away from the action you are getting a pretty ordinary view and are paying for the atmosphere and to say you were there so whether it is Wembley, the MEN or the Emirates you are in the same boat.

May be wrong but genuinely get the impression with you if Eddie had announced the Emirates with a cheapest ticket of £100 you would have asked why he did not do the fight at Wembley, thus allowing him to have cheaper tickets.

Should also not overlook ego and making a statement in all this. Warren’s record is 51,000 for Calzaghe Kessler and Hatton did 57,000. Naïve in the extreme if you don’t think wanting to beat them records is not going to be a consideration in picking the venue. Both Sky and Eddie will want to make a statement that their decision to chuck their lot in exclusively with each other has paid off and breaking box office records does that pretty effectively.

Emirates is 60,000

Doesn't matter if the fight is a stinker. Eddie won't care as long as 80,000 people are watching it live

seanmichaels wrote:Emirates is 60,000

Yeah you're right. I got it mixed up with the Aviva Stadium it being fairly similar in size to the Emirates with both stadia being designed by Populus (HOK) and Buro Happold.

By God, you're a f*****g nerd!

Stongy's an engineer or similar, is he not? Would explain the nerdy knowledge.

I think you missing the point a bit. There 100k at live aid or something like that but all the stands weren't full. It is quite possible to conceive they'll move the ring closer to one of the stands then have temporary stands on one side and the rest on the floor. That's what I would do anywhere.

I think the capacities relate to how many people they are licensed to allo entry as opposed to the amount of seats.

In this instance I am talking about Wembley and its suitability for boxing. I think the comments I made are fair. I also think its good to hold Hearn up to criticism if he deserves it and I believe he does at times based on the promises and big media campaign he used to mark his splash back into boxing. Eddie also claims to be everybody's friend which is an impossibility for a promoter.

The unknown is how many tickets Eddie will sell. I can't imagine Wembley was cheap to hire and I would expect with the policing, security, staff costs etc etc that the hiring of the venue was at least a couple of million. Time will tell I suppose, personally I would not want to pay £120 for a fight I can't really see.

I actually imagine wembley is the cheaper option.

Be slightly surprised if Emirates was a cheap hire, especially as they'll be more sensitive to pitch degradation.

That's what I mean. Arsenal don't particularly need to let out the stadium whereas Wembley is still being paid off and with venues like the O2 taking alot more concerts away etc I guess it is being used less than they had originally planned (hence semi finals etc being moved there).

Why?

I imagine the number of staff required at Wembley would be twice that of the Emirates.

Croke Park with a capacity of 80,000 needs to generate takings of over a million just to break even. It wouldn't have the policing set-up Wembley does either.

My read of it is Eddie went for the biggest capacity he could get and felt he could do more than 60,000 ticket sales.

Why double? When there's only 1/3 more seats/capacity. And where're the economies of scale??

And as per sean's point, Arsenal don't need the money and don't want the turf degradation, Wembley needs the former and isn't worried about the latter - so why aren't the basic rules of economics coming into play?

Didn't stop Coldplay doing a gig at the Emirates during the football season.

On the costs I'll just say everything at Wembley is scaled up in comparison to any other ground in the UK. I would imagine economy of scales doesn't really apply to Wembley. It is a state of the art very large stadium with the best of everything included for. Opening the doors to Wembley is going to cost a lot just to get to break even.

Can you not do a financial search on the running costs of Wembley?

The good thing is they don't have to worry about rival fans brawling so security won't be on overload !!..............

Only chance of trouble Is If Rowley, Hampo and Owen don't write enough articles to satisfy Hearn when it's time to hand out tickets !!
