Massive Demand as Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Tickets Go on Sale for Principality Stadium Fight
Cardiff, 09 October 2026 – Over 500,000 fans queued online for tickets to the highly anticipated boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, scheduled for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The ticket sales, which began at midday on Friday, saw immense demand, leaving many fans disappointed.
The fight, anticipated as one of the biggest boxing events to take place in Wales, features both former world heavyweight champions settling a rivalry that has spanned more than a decade. The Principality Stadium, which can hold up to 80,000 spectators for such events, prepares for what could be a historic clash in British boxing history.
Ticket prices varied widely, with the cheapest option starting at £88.50, including fees, while the most expensive seats reached a staggering £13,128, according to Ticketmaster. Many fans expressed frustration as tickets were reportedly resold online almost immediately after they became available, raising concerns over potential scams targeting eager supporters.
VIP packages remain available for £799, but these prices do not cover hotel, travel arrangements, or group bookings. As ticket sales commenced, various fans shared their experiences on social media, highlighting issues with Ticketmaster’s queuing system, which reportedly placed some fans at the back of long queues even after they had made progress.
The contest is set to kick off with ring walks expected around 1am local time on Saturday, December 12, although this remains to be confirmed. Fury’s return to the ring has generated excitement following his victory against Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, while Joshua recently stopped Jake Paul and defeated Kristian Prenga in July 2026.
As fans worldwide eagerly await this confrontation, streaming service Netflix has announced plans to broadcast the match globally, ensuring that millions can witness the fight between these British rivals.
