Alright, let’s talk about grabbing tickets for this Jake Paul vs Mike Perry fight happening down in Tampa. Heard the news about this matchup, Paul switching opponents, and Perry stepping in. Perry, you know, the ex-UFC guy, bare-knuckle fighter. Seemed like it could be a real scrap, way more interesting than some other fights Paul’s had, maybe.
Starting the Hunt
So, decided I wanted to check it out live. First thing I did was just sit down at my computer and start searching. Typed in the obvious stuff, you know, “Jake Paul Mike Perry tickets Tampa”, “Paul Perry fight Amalie Arena tickets”, things like that. Just wanted to see what popped up right away.
Naturally, the big official seller sites came up first. Ticketmaster was right there at the top. Also saw links probably leading to the arena’s own box office system, which is usually tied in with Ticketmaster anyway these days, seems like.
Checking the Scene
Clicked through to the main ticket seller. Had to navigate the usual stuff – find the event date, July 20th, yeah, that’s the one. Then you get hit with the seating chart. Always takes a minute to figure out where you’re actually looking.
Prices were… well, they were prices for a Jake Paul event. Saw the ringside seats, astronomical of course. Not really looking to drop that kind of cash. Scrolled around the map, looking at the different sections. Lower bowl, upper bowl. Tried to find that sweet spot, you know? Decent view, but doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Availability looked okay when I first checked. Wasn’t like it was instantly sold out, which was good. Saw plenty of blue dots still scattered around the place. Compared a few different sections, looked at the price differences. Sometimes moving over just one section saves you a good bit.
Considering the Options
Did a quick check on some resale sites too, just out of curiosity. Sometimes you find deals, sometimes it’s way worse. Seemed mostly higher this time around, especially after their fees get tacked on. Plus, I always feel a little iffier about resale, prefer to go official if the price isn’t too different.
So, went back to the official seller site. Picked out a section in the lower level, off to the side a bit but not behind a pole or anything hopefully. The price felt manageable for a night out watching some punching.
Making the Purchase
Selected the seats, think it was two tickets I grabbed. Went to the checkout. Then comes the fun part – all the fees! Service fee, facility fee, processing fee… they definitely add up. But hey, it’s part of the game, right? Just gotta factor it in.
Put in my card details, double-checked everything. Hit the button. Waited for that little loading circle to finish spinning…
Got ‘Em
And success! Got the confirmation page, then the email came through a minute later. Tickets are mobile entry, so they showed up in the app on my phone. All set.
Honestly, the process was pretty straightforward this time. No major glitches or website crashes. Found tickets without too much digging around, price was what I expected more or less. Now just gotta wait for July 20th. Curious to see how Paul does against Perry. Should be a lively night in Tampa.
