Fight Insight

I’ve surfed long and hard for places to buy or sell tickets to boxing events across the country. Surprisingly, I found quite a few Web sites that provide a secure, user-friendly place for boxing fans looking to attend the next big fight. All of the sites listed below are pretty good, but I offer a few more tidbits to highlight the features that distinguish the ticket brokers from one another. You can thank me later, but before you do, take a look at the boxing ticket sites that stood out most to me.

#1 StubHub!
For starters, StubHub.com is the #1 site to buy & sell tickets online. This is particularly important if you are looking to sell boxing tickets, because the site attracts a huge pool of potential buyers. If you are looking to buy tickets, the site has a "Fight Tickets" category on the lower left side of the homepage, which provides a link to "Boxing Tickets." Here, you access a page that lists the major upcoming boxing events. Although it takes three clicks to get there, the best feature on the page is StubHub Maps^TM.  This nifty chart allows you to see the total number of tickets remaining as well the number of tickets remaining by seating section.

#2 Ticketmaster
If StubHub.com is the leading ticket broker brand on the Web, Ticketmaster, with its long history, is probably a close second. The boxing category is not directly linked from the homepage, but it can be found after you click the "Sports" link on the left side or top of the Homepage. The aspect that sets Ticketmaster’s boxing section apart is the sheer volume of events listed. From boxing superfights being broadcast on pay-per-view to non-televised bouts in small venues, Ticketmaster has the most comprehensive listing that I have come across so far.

#3 Tickets Now
Tickets Now.com does not provide a direct link to its "Boxing and Fighting Tickets" category from the homepage. Similar to other ticket broker sites, you get there by accessing the "Sports" category near the top of the homepage. You must then perform another "click" near the bottom of this page before reaching the Boxing and Fighting Tickets page. Here, you can subscribe to email alerts for future boxing events by boxer or event name. Tickets Now also has some of the best-looking seating and pricing charts that I have seen.

To me, these are the best Web sites for boxing tickets. You can thank me now.
