Ticket prices for the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have dropped to a new low.

Prices were listed for as little as $30 Monday on Seat Geek, the official online broker for the heavyweight boxing match set for Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The venue, home of the Dallas Cowboys, will have a capacity of 80,000 for the boxing match, according to information issued by Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Paul.

While there was only one $30 ticket left on Seat Geek at time of this writing, hundreds of tickets were listed for $37 for a fight that will be livestreamed by Netflix.

By contrast, three ringside tickets, the only ones available on Seat Geek Monday, were listed for $50,000 apiece.

In May, MVP announced it was offering a VIP package that includes two ringside “apron seats” for $2 million. The company has not said whether the packages have been sold.

Seat Geek has declined to say how many tickets have been sold.

On May 8, 2021, when boxing star Canelo Alvarez beat Billy Joe Saunders at AT&T Stadium, fight organizers reported an official attendance of 73,126 – an all-time record for an indoor U.S. boxing event.

That broke the previous attendance record of 63,352 set during the fight between Muhammad Ali and Leon Spinks in 1978 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.
