Does anyone know how you would obtain tickets to go to the K-1 event in Seoul on March 19th? Also are these events very big in Seoul with a lot in attendance usually? My friend back home is a huge fan and I'd love to be able to go and take some pictures, possibly get an autograph or two.

i'm not sure where in Seoul you can get them, but you better get them fast because K-1 is very popular here and its popularity continues to grow. if you've watched a lot of tv recently, you might have seen the Korean version called G-5. . Check out the official K-1 website on the net, and if you can't find the info there i'm sure someone who lives in Seoul knows the scoop.

bump . . . . now you've got me interested . . . any luck yet? . . . i checked out the official K-1 website, but all i found was the temporary schedule - saw a few big names.

No luck yet. I've searched any site I can find, including lots of Seoul websites. I'm going to get one of my Korean friends to make some calls this week. Hopefully track down some info

Try ticketlink.co.kr
you'll need a Korean credit card to purchase any tickets there of course, which means that for 99% of us it's impossible!

It's taking place at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Gymnasium/Stadium on March 19th. It starts at 3 in the afternoon. Tickets go on sale at noon tomorrow (Feb. 2nd).

Seating is as follows:

for those prices i think i'll just watch it on the tube . . . . Alerts and Sefo should be a dammn good one though if they go at it. on a side note, if anyones got an extra i'm all in.

The match up between the korean and Akebono....who has never won a fight!!! What a joke! Of course the korean will win! And all the koreans will go ape s*^t!
Akebono is SLOW...slow! No power...except for sumo style.
Gesh...match up with someone who has at least won a few matches! But...even in boxing...newbies take on losers and build up from there. Now a fight to see is one of the Gracies or Bonjasky and the korean.

Do people think these tickets will sell out? What do you think the chances are of getting some good pictures or even an autograph if you went to see the matches?
