Tickets for the highly anticipated heavyweight clash between British boxing rivals Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have sold out within an hour of going on sale, with more than 500,000 fans reportedly waiting in the online queue.
As reported by BBC Sport on Friday, about 80,000 tickets were released for the fight, which is scheduled to take place at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium in Wales on December 11, with the main event expected to begin in the early hours of December 12.
The tickets went on sale at 12:00 BST on Friday, with prices ranging from £88.50 to £13,128, including booking fees.
The bout, which will be broadcast globally on Netflix, was announced in September and is being promoted through a collaboration between Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh’s The Ring and Ultimate Fighting Championship chief Dana White.
However, tickets quickly appeared on resale websites following the sell-out, with ringside VIP seats advertised for as much as £73,645, while upper-tier seats were listed for £425.
The main event’s ringwalks are expected to begin at around 01:00 GMT on Saturday, December 12, following a live music performance. The stadium is scheduled to remain open until 03:30 GMT.
