Tickets for the long-awaited heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua go on sale today (October 9). After a decade of anticipation, the British boxers will face off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, December 11, and fans can book tickets here.
The bout will pit two former world champions against one another, each of whom is regarded amongst the finest fighters of their generation. Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs) sealed his legendary status when he claimed the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles by defeating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
Joshua (30-4, 27 KOs) won gold in the super heavyweight division at the London 2012 Olympics before turning professional and going on to become a two-time unified heavyweight world champion. December's clash will mark the first time the pair have ever faced one another, and fans can finally secure a seat at the fight when more than 80,000 tickets go on sale.
How to buy tickets for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua
Tickets for Fury vs Joshua go on sale at 12pm on Friday, October 9, and are expected to sell quickly. They will be available through a number of official channels, offering both general admission and VIP and hospitality packages.
Boxing fans have several options when it comes to booking tickets for Fury vs Joshua, including official, VIP and resale platforms. The primary seller of general admission tickets is Ticketmaster, where prices are expected to start at £75.
The cheapest seats will be located in the Principality's upper tiers, while those closer to the ring in the lower tiers or on the floor could cost more than £1,000. Demand will likely be high, so fans may find themselves waiting in a virtual queue when sales begin.
To maximise the chances of getting tickets, Ticketmaster recommends being online 15 minutes beforehand and disabling any VPNs, private relay or browser extensions that hide an IP address.
VIP and hospitality packages
Tickets can also be booked through Seat Unique, which provides official tickets with VIP and hospitality packages. While these are typically pricier than standard tickets, they generally come with additional benefits such as premium seating and complimentary food and drink.
Tickets from Seat Unique often tend to grant early entry to the event and access to exclusive lounge areas before and throughout the fight. Inclusive perks can vary, so it's worth checking the details of each package before making a booking.
After the general sale, tickets may appear on secondary platforms like viagogo, where people can sell their tickets to other fans. These can be priced above face value, but may be found cheaper nearer to the fight depending on availability through official channels.
