Tickets for the heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua go on general sale at 12pm today, with fans urged to prepare in advance as demand is expected to be high. The fight is scheduled for Friday, December 11, at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
General admission tickets start at £75, and thousands of fans are expected to try to secure their place at the event. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster, while VIP and hospitality packages are offered through Seat Unique.
Five steps to prepare for the ticket release
Supporters can take several steps before noon to ensure they are ready when the sale begins. From checking account details to avoiding common online ticketing pitfalls, a little preparation could save valuable time.
First, fans should make sure they have a Ticketmaster account set up before the sale begins, with personal details and payment information up to date. It is also worth ensuring they can access the email address and phone number associated with the account in case verification steps are needed.
Device and connection readiness
Second, fans should get their devices ready before noon. Phones, tablets or laptops should be charged, and fans should be able to log in to their ticketing account without problems. A reliable internet connection and sufficient funds in the chosen payment method are also advised. Ticketmaster advises fans to turn off VPNs, private relay services and browser extensions that mask their IP address before attempting to buy tickets.
Third, fans should get online early. Ticketmaster recommends being online around 15 minutes before a ticket sale begins, meaning supporters should aim to be logged in and ready by 11.45am. If a waiting room is available, fans may be directed into it before the sale starts.
Avoid refreshing and plan your ticket choice
Fourth, fans should load Ticketmaster in one browser window and avoid refreshing. Refreshing the page once in an active ticket queue could disrupt the session or risk losing their place. Opening multiple tabs for the same booking can also cause confusion.
Fifth, fans should decide what tickets they want before the sale starts. With prices starting at £75, supporters should have an idea of their budget. The full range of standard ticket prices has not been confirmed, and seats closer to the ring are likely to cost more. Hospitality packages through Seat Unique may include premium seating, food and drink, early access and dedicated hospitality areas.
Fight details and broadcast
Fury and Joshua are scheduled to meet at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, December 11, 2026. General admission tickets go on sale at 12pm today through Ticketmaster, with VIP and hospitality packages available through Seat Unique.
The fight will be broadcast live and exclusively worldwide on Netflix, with UK subscribers able to watch through their existing membership without an additional pay-per-view charge expected. For fans hoping to be inside the stadium, the countdown to the ticket release is almost over.
