Heard tickets are barely selling due to the fact the face value on the tickets is ridic.

see if you can find any coupons, Amex offers, portals, or a nice credit card to purchase the tickets with(sign up for some for bonuses and then charge); maximize profits.

This sounds like a good plan tbh. It must be pretty close to a lock to increase in price at least a little by fight time. And pretty good upside.

Should parlay it with Patriots winning AFC East just to get best bang for your entire net worth

the interest for this fight is significantly less then the one you're referencing... If I was going to do this I would pick a fight where there's less risk cause you might not get a buyer for this fight.

Pretty sure most resellers took a bath on Mayweather/Pacquiao and couldn't flip their tickets because of the small window between when the tickets were released and when the fight was - IIRC < 3 weeks.

For an event like this, just know you're probably competing against people who can

1. Off load the tickets easily if necessary.
2. Have purchased the tickets at less than face.

who's the actual buyer of $300k tix? or $150K tix?

lebron? Jay-Z/Drake? hedge fund manager? saudis?... just curious as to the actual market....... can't imagine a casino laying out that cash even for their biggest whales, especially when they probably have amazing access to much, much cheaper tix.

i think the one person made a good point. do you have a good avenue for selling these? is there an "insider market" of which stubhub.com is not a part?....

Reports going around that 7k tickets are unsold. Only tickets that have sold out are the "cheaper" nosebleed seats.

Suite prices going down as well. https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/sta...79756087713796

You're going to see a LOT more ties this year with OT being phased out starting this season.

Miami is loaded on both sides this year. Cutler is an upgrade at QB with something to prove. Historically the Pats kryptonite has been Miami. Ya never know...

I had the opportunity to buy the $2.7k and $5k at the early release. I've made some real $ in the past (on an ROI basis) doing this but talked myself out of it and very glad I did as the tickets are still for sale. I don't think these sell for the face value they're asking. If you can get your hands on the $500's I would say it's a good bet to get 30%+ return on them.
