And btw, 25 bucks is a real bargain for all that content, organization, feeling, sweat and hard work! Props to Day9 and all the other volunteers for the mad and professional work! | ||

Stating that the experience from behind your screen must've been very similar, but free, is hilariously naive and leads me to conclude you don't get out much. I'm confident no-one that's been there even remembers the 25$ they've paid and have gone home with good memories and autographed Starcraft goodies ^^ Which brings us to the OP, good read man! I agree totally. 25$ is the price of the pizza only here in any random pizzeria. | ||

I mean a few friends of mine and I went to a classroom at my school and watched it on a projector for a few hours by ourselves for FREE and i feel it was probably an extremely similar experience (except we also had laptops there so we were playing SC instead of halo if we wanted a break from watching the show). I didnt actually watch the king of the beta thing at the end, was that live (like the players were there playing and it was all like proleague)? or was it just replays or online? if it was live then that's fucking awesome lol. but otherwise it's hard to say it's not like just watching an internet stream on a projector and I cant reasonably justify 25$ for that. but ultimately i guess ill stop talking about it. no reason to share my opinions if it just makes everyone all mad. You're obviously jealous lol. | ||

As for the complaint about $25 tickets, that is an AMAZING deal, especially in California. You get enough food and drinks for a couple decent sized meals, which is important when you're at a 12 hour event. Costs come from many areas. Colleges don't just let you reserve large auditoriums whenever you want for free. Normally, student associations have a budget and have to pay to rent the room out as well as leave a deposit in case the event causes damage to the facility. Also, the camera and sound equipment might also have been rented if the school didn't have everything necessary to make this cast happen. Ultimately though, with events like this, you always end up spending a good chunk of money on little things. Like batteries for the wireless mics, cables (because you always run out or need longer cords), extension cords, gas for multiple cars, some cleaning chemicals, trash bags, food/drinks/ice/plates/napkins/plastic utensils, a larger sized cooler, etc. Schools don't just open up the storage/maintenance/janitor closet and let you go all willy-nilly with their stuff. | ||
