People that think 25$ is steep for 12 hours of entertainment, food, drinks, socializing with fellow nerds, meeting SC2lebs, playing all kinds of games in between ... they probably haven't organised any events of their own in their lifetime. 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 think esports is pretty nice.

Thanks man for putting this up and nice pictures! I was able to watch the last 6 hours of the cast on the stream ... truly EPIC! hopefully it's up soon, so that I can watch the first 6 hours

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!

I agree totally. 25$ is the price of the pizza only here in any random pizzeria.

really cool blog but i just cant get passed this quote:

I paid my $25 and was given tickets to six slices of pizza and two sodas worth of tokens! Now that is generous!


this is sarcasm right?


I'm pretty sure that includes entrance into the party. Which IMO is a good deal.


yea but what was the money going towards besides food? playing halo 3?


Maybe renting the place out cost money..and I'm pretty sure there's alot of little things the organizers had to spend money on so the money may have gone to that.


rofl everyone's mad at me.

im just trying to wonder why someone would want to spend that much money to watch something that is free to everyone else on the internet.


The same reason people go to baseball games even though it is on TV at home.


QFT, LOL. What world are you living in? Going to sports events (i.e events like these) is always far more exciting. 25$ couldn't even get you that much food at a major sports event, let alone the ticket and the food.


as i think about it more i can understand just paying the money because you think day9 deserves it and stuff (supporting him and stuff), but it wasnt really a sporting event at all. 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.

I approve of the 25 dollar payment for the 12 hours of fun. It's definitely worth it to rock out with people of similar likes as yours.

Great blog post, I watched the cast from home with about 14,000 other StarCraft fans and I think we all wish we could have been there.

Sean and company did a great job setting this up and executing it.

Great write up and thanks for sharing AWESOME pics! The shot of Day[9] taking a drink looks like it has photoshop potential, someone should get on that.

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.
