More than 500,000 boxing fans attempted to buy tickets for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua on Friday, October 9, but most were left disappointed as Ticketmaster sold out in just 40 minutes. However, official tickets are still available at one retailer, Seat Unique, which sells fight tickets with VIP and hospitality packages.
While Ticketmaster’s allocation of general admission tickets has gone, Seat Unique offers fans the chance to secure tickets instantly, with no virtual queue. Tickets come with added perks including premium seats and complimentary food and drink.
Seat Unique VIP and Hospitality Packages
Seat Unique’s prices start at £249 per person for ‘premium’ seats in the Principality Stadium’s upper tier. This package includes complimentary food and drink, including champagne on arrival, plus access to an off-site hospitality area near the stadium. Lower tier seats start at £599 per person, with the same added benefits. Fans booking for larger groups can opt for a Private Box from £2,999 per person.
VIP and hospitality packages for the fight on December 11 come with a dedicated host, along with complimentary beers, wines, and soft drinks from three hours before the main event, which can be enjoyed on a private balcony directly outside the suite. Seat Unique still has a number of floor and ringside seats available to book from £7,995 per person, with seats located in the front 15 rows.
Ringside Seats with VIP Chauffeur
The most luxurious packages range from £7,995 for Front 15 Rows – Inner Ringside with Offsite Hospitality to £14,995 for Front 4 Rows – Floor C, Row D with Offsite Hospitality. As well as the best seats in the house, guests will have a VIP chauffeur to the fight, plus a complimentary three-course menu and drinks. Seat Unique says fans will also receive an ‘exclusive gift’ on the night. It’s worth noting that the prices listed do not include booking fees, so customers should check the total price during checkout.
Resale Tickets and Other Options
Elsewhere, hundreds of Fury vs Joshua tickets have already been listed on secondary sale sites like viagogo, where prices start at £176 for upper-tier seating. This site currently has seats available to book in every tier of the Principality, with floor seats listed for more than £7,000 each. Viagogo highlights its best tickets with an ‘amazing’ tag, with several available in the stadium’s lower tier from £302-308. Some tickets are selling fast, with many seating blocks flagged as having less than five remaining.
Some tickets may be listed at more than face value, but prices could drop closer to the fight. However, they could also increase as demand soars, with availability through primary channels expected to sell out. While Ticketmaster has completely sold out of general admission tickets, an update at 2pm says a number of VIP tickets are still available from £219.60 to £4,784.65. However, customers will still be placed in a virtual queue behind thousands of other fans.
Fight Date and Undercard
The long-awaited clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is scheduled for Friday, December 11. While official timings have not been confirmed, the Fury and Joshua ringwalks are expected to start at 1am on Saturday, December 12. The full fight card is also unconfirmed, but Netflix, the fight's official broadcaster, says it will include ‘a star-studded undercard’ with ‘marquee fighters’ from around the world.
