Jesus nearly had a stroke trying to get tickets...was trying everything but no luck....then went on this morning and got 3 great ones at the front of the section beside the fighters walk outs!! December can't come fast enough. Had a word with the local pp to get him pray for Aldo every Sunday.

I know many might be looking on thinking people should be glad they're going and not complain about ticket prices. I get that but can't help to complain a little.

The difference is seating location for price brackets P6, P5 and P4 doesn't seem to be too much different at all. I had a look at my seat which I'm paying more for this time but I'm further back, in a different section. I know the demand is there and such but I hope we're all not eventually priced out of going to these events.

I hope there's still cheaper tickets available for you newsletter subscribers and the general sale

All heading over - this thread is worth a look for cheap FX

Basically a prepaid mastercard, sign up and request a physical card. Top up the card using your phone on the fly and you can instantly convert between currencies at a great rate with no fees - then withdraw from ATMs with no fees either. Will be testing it out in New York next month but I can't see any drawbacks!

Yes I got one of these with this in mind, got the physical card a few days ago. Will be testing in Cardiff for the RWC myself next month but it will be interesting to see how you fare in the states.

For me, its 2 ticks off my bucket list so I'm looking at this as a 1 off so the extra cost I can handle. I've never been to vegas before(thats 1 tick), so any advice or recommendations would be greatly received

I'm in 2 minds on how to travel, 1 via Dublin means there will be some craic with loads of supporters on way over OR 2, connecting flight out of Belfast via London with the massive positive of not having to do the Dublin/Belfast bus on the way home....that few hours feels like months!

How about going for the train back to Belfast? It's probably more expensive but comfortable and quick.

Yeah but then you have to get the bus to Dublin to get the train to Belfast.

yeah train means heading into central Dublin first which would be an extra headache I think the thought of any travelling after coming out of the airport just sounds cruel but I've came home through Dublin a few times in the past and got the bus and swore I would never do it again lol I'll see how prices compare & travel time(Belfast seems to be 3 flights, so thats another airport transfer & chance of delay)

If you're going hand luggage only, you could get off in London and get a flight direct to Belfast. Just don't use the London - Dublin leg

Not sure what you mean. Through Dublin seems like 1 stopover in likes of JFK from what I've seen but Belfast option looks bit like, Belfast>London>JFK>Vegas

I don't think I'll go hand luggage only as all the hotels seem to have swimming pools so I need to pack plenty of speedo's j/k but does anyone know if Vegas has a big outlet shopping centres that are cheap?

I was thinking Dublin/London/Vegas, then Vegas/London/Dublin -cheap easyjet to Belfast. Wont work with hold bags though

oh tbh I don't think thats even a starter because any direct flight from London to Vegas seems really expensive, so with 1(or more) stopovers takes the price way down and into my price range.

Lon to Vegas direct is way too expensive, but Dublin to Vegas via London was very cheap....makes no sense, i know

yeah? What site/airline was that with? I've been looking at loads of places, but starting to get confusing now lol Been looking at flight & hotel deals mainly which all seemed to be US stopovers

I got Dub-Lon-Vegas for €542 on skyscanner

Used skyscanner too and eventually booked through omegaflightstore.com. Total was £386 return

I'm going Dublin-London-Dallas-Vegas and the same the way back.

Worked out very cheap for me, but it will be a bit of a pain.

Has anyone been able to find a decent interactive map of the mgm to see exactly which tickets you have? I know someone said check Mayweathers next fight on ticketmaster but that's not working for me
