New Boxing Ticket Sales Website – TKO Box Office – Launched

Posted on | October 4, 2010 | No Comments

A new Boxing specific ticketing website – www.tkoboxoffice.com – has been launched by renowned Boxing Manager/Trainer Johnny Eames and Sports Publicist Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro.

TKO Box Office, which was developed to promote ticket sales for boxers based at Johnny Eames’ Ultrachem TKO Boxing Gym, will initially be offering tickets for UK Boxing events, before rolling out worldwide in early 2011

On making the announcement, founding partner of TKO Box Office, Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro said, “The whole concept for TKO Box Office first came up when we were promoting the Ultrachem TKO Gym’s Charity Football Tournament, in aid of the Indee Rose Trust, back in July.

We set up a basic ticket sales section on my PR site and were taken aback by just how many tickets were sold on-line for this event.

We then decided to offer tickets for the gym’s fighters on Steve Goodwin’s September ‘It’s Personal’ event on-line. Again we got a good response so decided to create a specific site.

Originally the site was just going to just be selling tickets for the boxers based at Ultrachem TKO Gym, but various promoters have since shown interest in us selling tickets for their events as well. This prompted us to make some minor changes and develop TKO Box Office as a boxing specific site offering tickets for Boxing events countrywide.

In the near future we are planning to start offering tickets for events worldwide, probably as early as January 2011 as the secure e.ticket we have been developing is almost ready for testing.

Even though the site now has a wider format we are sticking one hundred percent with the original premise of promoting ticket sales for individual boxers associated with the Ultrachem TKO Gym. Professional boxers are required to sell tickets for events they box at and as such we will always highlight and feature our fighters when promoting events they’re fighting at on the site.

Our aim is to help individual fighters and promoters increase their ticket sales and in doing so make TKO Box Office the number one boxing ticketing site, bar none.”

On launch TKO Box Office is offering tickets for six upcoming events:

Matchroom Sports PRIZEFIGHTER – HEAVYWEIGHTS 4 at York Hall, Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 9th October, which features Ultrachem TKO Gym’s Ali Adams, former WBU Heavyweight Champion Matt Skelton Kevin McBride, Franklin Egobi, Michael Sprott, Danny Hughes, Declan Timlin and Shane McPhilbin.
