I plan on seeing some Thai boxing matches while in BKK. I've heard Tuesday night at Lumpini Stadium is a prime night to do this. Can anyone give me advice regarding ticket purchases to get good seats? Purchase in advance, etc. Go through concierge in hotel, etc?
I tried the search engine, but was SOL. I hope I utilized it correctly.

Lumpini Stadium is a slightly ramshackle, open-air staidum with largely wire mesh fences and corrugated zinc roofing at the back of the Suan Lum night bazaar.
It doesn't matter where you buy the ticket, it's the same price. I'd buy it at the ticket office at the gate. Look for signs for ticket prices in English. The prices in Thai are markedly different but they won't let you buy those.
Foreigners pay a different rate. IIRC, tickets are 1500 (ringside) and 700. There are 3 seating areas at Lumpini: ringside, a little aways from the ring (separated by a wire fence) and right-at-the-back (agfain separated by a fence). Thai punters/gamblers/hecklers usually sit right at the back - an area I don't think they'll sell you a ticket for.
I haven't seen any Thais sitting at ringside, usually a bunch of eager/bored tourists. You get a photo with the fighter thrown in at the end.

I attended a boxing evening about ten years ago, at the Ratchaderm Boxing Stadium. It was disconcerting; I found that it was not so spectacular, because the boxers tended to neutralize each other by simply hanging and trying the knee the opponent in the ribs.
I did see one knockout though: he took a kick in the throat and dropped like a sack.
I cannot remember the price, but I simply bought the ticket at the stadium.
