Katie Taylor in Croker?

[Armagh18]

The Journal running a poll, 7500 votes so far.
71% said they would not buy a ticket.

Don't underestimate the event junkie culture now, people going to arenas to listen to people who do podcasts ffs

But people like podcasts. Huge market. We probably all do a couple.

Not sure the casual boxing fan is out there. I do hope she gets a crowd, and if she get get this on Netflix it won't matter as much, but I can't see it. Expect lots of competition give aways

My point is would you go to an arena to listen to them talking ? I wouldn't but each to their own

I see Joanne Cantwell interviewing Katie at half time in Leinster Final here.

Think I would tbf, haven't got a chance to go as have had other things on but would definitely like to get to the gaa social with McConville and Niblock live the next time it's on in Armagh. Haven't been and probably wouldn't go but Blindboy (rubberbandits) has a massively popular podcast and does live shows that regularly sell out

40,000 tickets sold
Sell the cheap seats and fill the place and then make more from premium seats etc

Who else has a vested interest in making this a success?

Tickets are selling fast, get yours is an easier sell than tickets are not selling, get yours.

There may have been 40,000 tickets sold, but if Eddie Hearne told me it was raining I would look out the window.

I would be inclined to go along with this way of thinking too. Hearn is a salesman first and foremost.

50% of the capacity does seem a high proportion of tickets to be on a pre-sale for any event whether sport or music. Although I did see people online saying there was 10s of thousands in the queue for tickets so maybe the demand is there to make it a sell out. I was sceptical they would get there but maybe they will reach the 80k.

[Ardstick]

Anyone able to get sorted this morning?? Only looking for 2 and cant get anything!! Surely not sold out already

[Armagh18]

Sold out according to Sports Joe.

Absolutely delighted for her, some smart f**ker on here a while back thought she hadn't a hope of a decent crowd. Any chance they look at opening the Hill/Nally?

[Ardstick]

Be class to allow people on the hill to even if just half fill it. Its about being there for the occasion, FOMO will definitely kick in for some people. She totally deserves it in a world and sport were greed is number 1 Katie always went above it.

Plenty of experts on here looking a bit foolish now !

Ahh at least you've admitted it

Always thought she'd get a good crowd but maybe struggle to sell out especially as quickly as it has done.
