This is from Hatton's website for those of you thinking of attending the fight. It seems like a priority scheme is in place for those who travelled to the Collazo, Urango and Castillo fights.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

The UK box office is now in discussion with Golden Boy Promotions, the purpose of these talks is to secure a large allocation of tickets for the UK market.

Still, to date, no venue has been confirmed.

Regardless, we are putting in place a booking system, which will give priority to fans that travelled to the past fights in the USA. This system will work on a postal method, where fans will be given the opportunity to download a booking form on-line and return it in the post to “The Hitman” PO Box no.

We still have to decide if a restriction of tickets per person is to be put in place, this will not stop groups of persons applying, we are fully aware from the previous fights that larger groups travelled together.

We are very confident that after allowing a period of time for priority applications, that tickets will be available to others, who did not attend past fights, in the USA.

We hope that you can understand our reasons for putting this method into practice; we are looking to operate a system that gives fair access, to tickets, for all fans.

News letters, detailing the progress, of this operation, will be forwarded to all subscribers, along with the booking form & application procedure details, once completed.

On a further note, we have been made aware of agencies, selling tickets at highly inflated prices, and some websites, detailing availability of block, row and seat numbers. Such companies can not have obtained these tickets, because;


No venue has yet been decided,

They certainly will not be allocated tickets via the official outlets,

Therefore they can only be deemed, unscrupulous, purchasing from such outlets is totally unnecessary for UK fans who want to go to this event.


With your co-operation and patience, we are almost 100% certain that we can supply the UK market, with all the tickets required.

Many thanks,

UK Box Office

Don't suppose you fancy going over Scot

I couldn't afford to, mate. Add that to the fact that the missus wouldn't let me and I'd say that the best I can hope for is to get bladdered and watch it on the box.

Will you be able to get a ticket Bazza given the priority ticket scheme that the Hatton camp are introducing?

I imagine this fight will be a sellout within a few hours.

Probably not, but I can dream right lol.
I did read also, that they reckon that all UK based fans should be looked after, I am not sure if I would fall into that category being a newbie and from Ireland.

“UNDEFEATED”: MAYWEATHER VS. HATTON LANDS AT
THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA IN LAS VEGAS

Tickets On Sale Monday, Sept. 17 at 10 a.m.


LAS VEGAS – The records are pristine and spectacular – a combined 81-0 with 55 knockouts. However, the stage is now set for “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather or Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton to face a blemish on their record Saturday, Dec. 8, something both men are willing to go to war to prevent. Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions are proud to present “UNDEFEATED”, a historic night of boxing featuring two undefeated champions battling for Mayweather’s World Welterweight Championship at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Tickets for “UNDEFEATED” will go on sale Monday, Sept. 17 at 10 a.m. PST and will be available at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations (including select Las Vegas Smith’s Food and Drug Centers and Macy’s West in the Fashion Show Mall). To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Ticketmaster at (702) 474-4000. Tickets also are available for purchase at www.mgmgrand.com or www.ticketmaster.com.

A fast sellout is expected as the fight already has the world buzzing in anticipation of seeing two of boxing’s premier, undefeated superstars finally meet in the ring.

“Even though this fight is months away, everyone is already talking about it and breaking it down, trying to figure out who has the edge,” said Oscar de la Hoya, president of Golden Boy Promotions. “It’s a great clash of styles between Mayweather and Hatton and I think that translates into a memorable fight that will go down in history as one of the great ones.”

Leonard Ellerbe of Mayweather Promotions agreed, “Mayweather Promotions is very excited to host our first fight at MGM Grand. This will definitely be a great battle for the fans and the MGM Grand is the perfect place to host this fight.”

Richard Sturm, president of Sports and Entertainment for MGM MIRAGE, stated, “What an exciting way to end 2007. This thrilling match-up between two sensational and undefeated champions, Mayweather and Hatton, will certainly bring an unprecedented and electric atmosphere to the MGM Grand Garden Arena and to the fans from around the world who will be witnessing the event.”

Mayweather, who most recently defeated de la Hoya at the storied Las Vegas venue, can’t wait for the big event, “The MGM Grand is like a second home to me and I’m going to make my fifth appearance here my most spectacular and memorable. I love Vegas, I love the fans at the MGM Grand and I’m gonna show Ricky Hatton that he can’t come into my house and try to take what’s mine.”

Hatton, a native of Manchester, England, followed by saying, “It’s always been a dream of mine to fight at the MGM Grand and now I’ll finally get my chance. The MGM Grand has been the home to so many great champions and so many great fights. To fight Floyd Mayweather in that famous ring will push me even harder to live up to such a legacy.”

Richard Schaefer, chief executive officer of Golden Boy Promotions, said, “The demand for tickets for Mayweather-Hatton has been amazing and our office has been flooded with requests from both here and the UK. This is not only a spectacular fight between two undefeated champions, but it’s an event that will get the entire world’s attention on December 8.”

“UNDEFEATED”, featuring Floyd Mayweather’s defense of his World Welterweight Championship against the universally recognized World Junior Welterweight Champion Ricky Hatton, will be promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The event will be produced by and distributed live on HBO Pay-Per-View. For more information visit www.goldenboypromotions.com
