Broner vs Porter 20/6

[mrdm7]

Sorry if this seems a bit out of place here but couldn't see anywhere else to put it, but guess it's more or less a nighttime event.
Was looking at going to said fight at the mgm grand garden arena in Saturday 20/6 as I happen to be in town that weekend, I'm a big boxing fan so not sure I can turn down the chance to see a fight night in vegas (providing the tickets are reasonably priced).
My main question is though, what is the best way of going about getting tickets? There's some on ticket master but when I was searching around the internet I stumbled across a Q&A thing somewhere regarding this and somebody on there was saying DONT buy tickets in advance as you'll pay more. Wait untill the day of the fight and buy them from the lobby at the mgm. Anybody with any experience of going to a fight night in vegas? Or could anyone shed any light what so ever?
Thanks in advance

Not sure on the ticket prices changing but I would wait until last minute because the scalpers will probably have tickets for the cheap.
i'm a boxing guy as well and this fight is going to sell horribly. It's a nice scrap but you have two guys from Ohio, neither with a big following, fighting in Vegas. Doesn't make sense.
Like the actual fight but not sure what they were thinking having it in Vegas.

welcome!
Ticketmaster is the official box office face value is $50-$400.
It looks like the arena has been scaled down for this event- they realize they can't sell the whole arena.
The major event that weekend is EDC check other thread for party list.

In terms of buying tickets outside- not sure how many events you go to but in general there are usually people who might have 1 or two extra outside of any event. That said tickets now a days are scanned and not torn so its very hard to tell if your buying a good or bad/fake ticket. You have to walk in with person to see if ticket is real.
An example from a NFL game last year- the event was sold out and tickets were $300 each on stubhub a friend of mine said I will go outside and get one cheaper then $300. He found someone in parking lot and paid them $200 but when he got to the gate the ticket was already used so he lost $200.
From this year the mayweather/pacman weigh in at mgm arena people were faking tickets. So again just be real carefully trading cash outside.
