officially go on sale on ticketmaster at 10PT.....gonna do my best but expecting them to sell out pretty fast so i was wondering if anyone out there has ever bought a ticket from MGM Grand directly?....can't find any box office number on their website
It doesn't even list Mayweather-Hatton as an upcoming event on the MGM Grand website yet. There appears to be a problem with the ticketmaster webpage.
I question whether any tickets even went on sale. at 10:03 ticketmaster said none were available in any price range. and I was at a ticketmaster location before 10 and none were available at all.
word... look for a Golden Boy release claiming that tickets were sold out as soon as they went on sale, and start pushing for closed circuit seating.
The same thing happened during Mayweather-De La Hoya. I was on the webpage at 10:00 on the dot and it said no tickets were available. I can't even access the ticketmaster webpage now.
if u wanted whatever tickets were available, which may have been none at all, you needed to be in the front of the line at the mgm box office at 10am
yep, no luck.....had a ticketmaster number but that was ingaged..... .....quickly got over the disappointment, just booked tickets for Cotto-Mosley at MSG...better value tickets and it'll be my first time in NYC too

Thousands of Hatton fans are planning to make the trek to Las Vegas without tickets and organizers are making plans to set up closed circuit locations around Las Vegas to accomodate them.[/FONT] From fightnews
The Golden Snaggle Tooth Mafia probably sold an extremely low amount of tickets to the public. I never quite understood the ticket allocation. Of the 15,000 tickets, about 5,000 were supposed to go to MGM Grand's preferred customers (high rollers who spend a lot). G was supposed to hold a little more than 2,000 for their preferred customers (sponsors/potential sponsors). 7,800 were supposed to be allocated equally among Mayweather and Hatton fans. What exactly was sold to the public, on ticketmaster? Ticketmaster doesn't ask you "who are you rooting for?" The tickets sold out quickly, I'm thinking a small amount was actually sold to the public. Ticket agencies probably bought a large chunk of them. Then they can sell them to the public at high prices. The lowest on stubhub is $1200 and the other websites have them at about $900 at the lowest. I think the British fans coming to Vegas are more likely to spend that type of money on a ticket. Travel half-way across the world to see a fight on closed circuit?<!-- / message -->
The average limey hatton fan would knock you out cold and leave you bloodied and humiliated with 1 headbutt. Pussy little journalist :tease:
They should have gotten a bigger venue; they still should. Correct mE if I'm wrong, but it looks like they might have 10,000 non-ticketed fans in Vegas would would be willing to pay face value for tickets that aren't available and this number would have to be higher if the Brits didn't have to worry about getting shut out of seats.
It all about the casino not the gate. In england this would have sold out the new wembley stadium no problem
