Tickets for the eagerly awaited boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua sold out within one hour of going on sale. The fight, scheduled for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, opened for purchase on Friday at noon. By 1 p.m., all available tickets had been claimed. Approximately 170,000 additional people attempted to access the Principality Stadium website, hoping to secure a spot. Ticket prices ranged from 88.50 £ (104.61€) to 13,128 £ (15,517.27€), not including VIP packages or special offers that included hotel stays or transportation. VIP seating near the ring, which included hotel and travel packages, reached up to 73,645 £ (87,048€). According to Ticketmaster, the pricing was determined by the event organizer and included booking fees.
Many fans voiced their frustration over the high prices on social media. One supporter wrote: "The most expensive ticket for Fury-Joshua is 13,128 £. I will just watch it on Netflix!" Another user tweeted: "The prices for Fury-Joshua are ridiculous." A third posted: "If you pay such amounts for AJ-Fury, either you have too much money or you are extremely stupid."
Both boxers are expected to enter the ring at 1 a.m. (local time), following a request to the Cardiff city council to extend the usual 1 a.m. curfew to 3 a.m. for this special event. As a result, the stadium is expected to close at 3:30 a.m. These late hours align with the schedule of Netflix, which aims to cater to its American audience. The Principality Stadium is accustomed to hosting events that run late into the night. In 2007, the three-title fight between Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler began at 1 a.m. (GMT time). Similarly, the all-British heavyweight clash between Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno in 1993 took place at the National Stadium in Cardiff — a venue that has since been demolished but was located at the same site as the Principality Stadium. In both cases, the decision to hold the fights late was influenced by the desire to attract attention from the United States.
