Boxing fans camp out for tickets

BOXING fans camped outside Beau Sejour from 9.30pm on Friday to guarantee tickets to the open show.

Around 40 people braved the cold and rain to get tickets to the popular event.

Tickets went on sale at 8am and within 15 minutes 41 tables out of the 73 available had been sold.

Gemma Le Maitre (pictured), who works in accounts, was one of the first to buy some.

'I've been here since 12 last night,' said the 21-year-old.

'You have to if you want to get any decent seats.

'We were doing it in shifts so there was a person here at 9.30pm. I went out, had a few drinks, came up here and went to sleep.

'I felt like a tramp.'

It was an enjoyable event, so it was worth it she said.
