If you’ve been waiting to pounce, today’s the day. Canelo Alvarez and Terence “Bud” Crawford touch gloves this afternoon in Las Vegas, and tickets are still changing hands fast. The fight—rescheduled from September 12 to today, September 13—has opened a small but real window for deals as sellers adjust their pricing. The doors at Allegiant Stadium open at 1:30 PM, with the event starting at 2:30 PM, and the resale market is moving minute by minute.
Here’s the spread right now: the lowest prices vary by platform. Some listings are sitting around the $194–$232 range for the least expensive seats, while others start closer to $315. Average resale prices cluster near $925–$982, which tells you demand is still hot. If you want to be down by the floor, prepare for sticker shock—VIP floor seats have climbed into the $27,000-plus range. On the premium end, official hospitality via On Location is bundling extras like ringside photo ops, all-inclusive lounges, after-party access, and official posters.
Where the cheapest last-minute seats are hiding—and how to spot real savings
Multiple platforms are live today, and each looks a little different once you factor in fees and delivery methods. You’ll see tickets from names like SeatGeek (some starting around $315), Vivid Seats (lows around $232), StubHub, and TicketsMaster (with recent lows reported at $194.67). The headline price isn’t the full story—service fees and taxes can swing your final checkout total by 15–30% or more. If you’re comparing two similar seats within $20 of each other, run them both to the checkout page to see the true number.
Mobile transfer timing matters. Most tickets today are electronic and delivered through team or venue apps. Transfers can be instant, but they can also lag if the seller isn’t actively monitoring their phone. If you’re buying close to the undercard start, pick listings marked for instant delivery or check the estimated transfer window on the checkout screen.
There’s also a timing game. Resale prices usually soften in two waves on event day: first, late morning to early afternoon as sellers lower ask prices to move inventory; then again in the final 60–90 minutes before the main event window, when unsold seats become sunk costs. The risk? Inventory can vanish, and you might end up hunting for single seats or scattered pairs. If you’re going in a group, be flexible: two-and-two across nearby rows often beats a single pair down low on price.
- Sort by “lowest price” and then zoom the seat map. Stadium-wide lists can bury good deals in obscure corners. The map view helps you spot underpriced pockets.
- Check “obstructed view” flags carefully. Some are barely obstructed; others block half the ring. When in doubt, pick higher row numbers in the same section for a cleaner sightline.
- Don’t ignore singles. Solo tickets often get discounted late, and two singles in adjacent rows can be far cheaper than a single pair.
- Compare fees. Two identical upper-level seats can differ by $25–$60 at checkout depending on the platform and delivery method.
- Watch the reschedule effect. The shift from Sept. 12 to 13 created extra churn—some sellers can’t attend and just want out. That’s where the surprise drops come from.
What should you expect to pay right now? Budget buyers still have a path in the high $100s to low $300s for upper-level or corner views. Mid-bowl and lower sideline seats are bouncing between mid-hundreds and low four figures, depending on row and angle. Anything labeled “floor,” “ringside,” or “VIP” will be a five-figure conversation today, especially for center ring.
If you’re debating whether a deal is “real,” look at three things: seat location on the map, delivery speed (instant vs. seller transfer), and the platform’s buyer protections. Reputable marketplaces offer guarantees if a ticket doesn’t scan. Keep all messages and receipts in your app in case you need support.
What to know at Allegiant today: timing, entry, and alternatives if you stay off the strip
Plan to arrive early. With doors at 1:30 PM and the event at 2:30 PM, you’ll hit the smoothest entry if you’re inside before the first major undercard bout. Bring a fully charged phone, your ticketing app logged in, and an ID that matches your payment method if the platform requires it. If your tickets are a transfer, accept them right away—don’t wait until you’re at the gate to find the email.
Bags at Allegiant generally follow an NFL-style clear-bag policy. If you bring a purse or backpack that’s too large, you might get turned away or routed to bag check, which costs time and money. Keep it light: phone, card, and a compact clear pouch. Security is strict on outside food and drinks. You’ll find concessions inside, but lines can spike just before the main event, so grab water early and pace your runs.
Getting there: rideshare drop-offs near the stadium are usually the simplest option on fight day, but surge pricing is real after the final bell. If you’re parking, pre-book a lot close enough to walk, and allow a cushion for post-event traffic. Comfortable shoes beat fancy ones here—the walkways around an NFL venue add up fast.
If you’re still price-shopping, there’s a smart way to play the clock. Lock in a “good enough” upper-level seat now to eliminate risk, then keep monitoring for a sweet drop closer to bell time. If you score a better deal, you can often resell your original seat on the same platform. Just check the resale cutoff times and delivery rules before you try this. Not every marketplace allows last-hour flips.
Prefer a premium experience without rolling the dice? On Location’s VIP packages add the convenience factor—dedicated entry points, all-inclusive lounges, curated hospitality, and those extras (like post-fight access and photo ops) that regular tickets don’t offer. It’s pricey, but it’s predictable. For fans watching their budget, there’s a different path: viewing parties. Dave & Buster’s in Modesto, California, is charging $20 per person today, and similar bars across the country are hosting watch events with reserved seating and food specials. If you’re not in Vegas, that’s a way to be part of the moment without draining your account.
Why is this fight pulling such a premium? You’ve got Canelo, the undisputed champ at super middleweight, carrying one of the biggest draws in boxing. Across from him is Crawford, undefeated and proven across three divisions. It’s a stylistic clash—pressure and power versus precision and timing—with real legacy weight. That’s why demand hasn’t fallen off, even with the date change.
Last tips before you buy: make sure the listing shows the exact section and row; avoid any that say “zone seating” unless you’re comfortable with a surprise. Screenshot your barcodes once they appear in your app (some apps hide them until you’re near the venue; don’t panic if you can’t see them from home). If a seller wants to meet in person, skip it and stick with in-app transfers from verified marketplaces. You want a digital trail and a guarantee.
And yes, breathe. There are still deals out there, especially if you’re flexible on location. Upper corners and higher rows can be surprisingly good for sightlines in a stadium setup, and today’s late sellers don’t want to eat their costs. If you’re hunting for the sweet spot between cost and comfort, filter for mid-bowl seats off the corners and compare three platforms at checkout. That ten-minute exercise often saves more than any single promo code.
If you’re set on going, buy with intent, verify the transfer, and head in early. If you’re on the fence, keep your app open through the afternoon and watch for those dips. Either way, it’s fight day in Vegas—and for anyone chasing Alvarez vs Crawford tickets, the market is still very much alive.
