    I rang the number and eventually got thru to a rep that said my order was completed & everything is fine on their end, I mentioned Flash Seats and she said not to panic and that the tickets will be delivered later

    Cheers for that. Might give it a few weeks before I start worrying about it in that case. I wish it was just the ticketmaster model though, print your tickets from a pdf and none of this messing around.

    I saw Drake is playing in the mgm the night of the fight - las vegas is going to be hopping that night!

    I booked MGM and MGM Park about 3 months ago so have great prices on both. Think i'll go mgm park the old Monte Carlo as fighters might be staying there.

    Just for anyone who had only gotten the AXS email confirmation and nothing else after buying tix.

    Flash Seats are the Ticket delivery app from AXS, tweet Flash Seats saying that you have yet to receive your tickets. I tweeted them and they requested my details via DM and I had my tickets sent within 30 mins.

    Thing is that the Flash Seats app where you will get your ticket QR code seems to be US only and you cannot download it from the Irish Play Store. I googled Flash Seats apk on Google to bypass Play Store and signed in on the app and tickets are finally there!!

    Never thought I would praise Ticketmaster but between the $60 service charge on a single ticket and the roundabout way you have to get your tickets, AXS really are a brutal alternative

    All sorted now mate thanks for that. Bit of a feckin rigmarole altogether with downloading the apk and so on. I could imagine there'll be plenty of people having got tickets and will expect a pdf to be emailed to them.

    I created an AXS account before I went on to buy tickets last Wednesday.

    For some reason it wouldn't accept my password, so I created a new account using the same email address. Bizarre. God knows what "account" the tickets are linked to, because it seems I have two accounts now with the same address.

    Thankfully I have an Order ID, confirmation email and money has been taken off my card. Awaiting response from AXS / Flash Seats.

    We'd be in trouble if we'd bought the tickets to turn a quick profit selling them. Another good fight added to 230 card. 229 is a shocker bar the main event.

    There hasn't been any fight announcement for 229 in about a week. For a while I was thinking they were working on something big, but FFS it's only 7 weeks away - I hope they're planning on having the usual 12 fight card?

    A lot of the fights announced so far are pre-lim fights without a doubt. I expect a lot of movement regards the main card this week and next.

    I hope you're right but I haven't seen anywhere to confirm that they're prelims. Volkov v Lewis has been confirmed as Co main and O'Malley said he's on the main card.

    SO managed to get my flash seats app up and running so have a QR code for my 2 tickets. I'd much prefer a pdf for each ticket but at least betweenthe app and the credit card I have back up for entry

    I was at least expecting another title fight as co-main. That's disappointing.

    The WME influence has a lot to do with things I imagine. They were still finding their feet and figuring out their plans at the time of 202 and 205.

    They're after the cash and the cash alone, whereas the Fertittas, dodgy ****ers though they may have been, cared about the sport and putting on a show. WME won't waste other good fights when they know everyone will be tuning in to see McGregor anyway.

    Got a number off the Swedish support line, hopefully it is short circuit wait number.

    001 9253574228

    The axs account management is terrible on this site. No validating creating an account with same email as previous, no email confirmation to confirm etc.
