From blame game to box office explosion: Ryan Garcia boosts ticket sales
Just a few days ago, Ryan Garcia squarely blamed Devin Haney for the lackluster ticket sales for his next game, but it appears he's backtracking. Recall that Garcia pointed his finger in his public appearance and said: “Devin Haney is a no-brainer. He has definitely carried this promotion on his own.” However, his Instagram stories paint a different picture.
Garcia took a very hands-on approach, flipping through what appeared to be ticket sheets for various sections of Barclays Center. He then addressed his fans directly, urging them to: “Hurry up, don't wait until the last moment” With all caps bold caption: “There are only a few tickets left.” It also includes a link to the official ticket page, and seems eager to convert viewers into buyers.
But what else did Ryan say about tickets and their prices?
Garcia says the original price was “abnormally” high.
Ryan Garcia publicly criticized the high ticket prices for his match against Devin Haney at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. Garcia didn't mince words when it came to his concerns about slow ticket sales. “Nobody wants to see a guy who doesn't seem like he can crack an egg.” He made the comments at a press conference after media training.
Despite his competitive nature, Garcia showed his side as a fan advocate, saying: “I think I was a big proponent of lowering prices. Personally, I want everyone to come to this building because the prices were so high.” He emphasized that prices are difficult to obtain, adding: “I don't think many Americans can afford a $500 or $300 front-row ticket. I wouldn't pay that.”
Although Garcia has stepped up his advocacy for lower prices, questions remain. Will these efforts be enough to fill the seats and create an emotional atmosphere worthy of both fighters?
