viagogo, Europe’s leading ticket exchange, has seen ticket demand soar for Oasis’ mini-tour in Mexico as Ricky Hatton fans look for a famous Manchester double header. Hatton lines up against Paul Malignaggi on Saturday 22nd November in Las Vegas, with his fellow Mancunians, Oasis, beginning a run of three dates in Mexico four days later. Fans clearly have their eye on an extended celebration with hundreds of people snapping up Oasis tickets at the same time as securing their tickets for the big fight..
Noel Gallagher is due to carry Hatton’s belt into the ring and the boxer intends to return the compliment by taking in the Oasis shows. His fans will be following him from the ring to Mexico for a night out with the Gallagher Brothers, with tickets trading for around £100 on viagogo for the show at the Sports Palace in Mexico City on Wednesday 26th November.
Hatton’s loss to Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand this time last year has not stopped fans snapping up tickets for his return to Vegas. In fact viagogo has seen more than twice the number of tickets traded for the bout against Malignaggi than Mayweather. Tens of thousands of Hatton-ites are expected to descend on the gambling capital of the world to roar their champion home,
Eric Baker, CEO of viagogo: “Ricky Hatton fans are the most passionate fans in boxing and we’ve seen a huge demand on viagogo for his return to Vegas. What’s interesting is that his fans have also been snapping up tickets on viagogo for Oasis’ dates in Mexico so it should be one hell of a party!”
