I kind of surprised with all the negativity against this. Price discrimination happens all the time and this would be great way to improve female attendance.

What about having more of a motivation for the better half to also be there? Like the play-rooms at stores where the children can play.. A pedicure/manicure play-room where they can wash of the nerdiness for a while..

Joke of course.

I don't see this discount thing happening. Difficult to implement. Perhaps something like a "family pass" could be feasible but it would be difficult with girlfriend/boyfriends that are not married as it would be easily abused.

If I was MLG quality, I would wish my parents to see me play for a discount. tbh. Family passes sounds better than female passes.

Uhm, stop living in the middle ages and don't pay for her if she wants to go with. Or stop bitching if you make her go just to show off. I really don't see any other point in bringing an unintrested SO to such an event other than to establish your masculinity...It's not like she'll magically understand SC from watching it on the bigscreen and hearing a ton of inside jokes that might seem like a foreign language to her.

Not sure why it'd need to be gender specific, why not just a +1 pass if at all? Covers gay guys who might be in a similar situation that way and no-one needs to feel bad at being "the wrong gender" for a discount.

I don't think creating incentives for people who do not want to be at an event is very productive.
I rather see MLG invest money into creating good deals for returning customers or supporting BarCraft's across the world.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

I think they're going to get a ton of shit for sexism if something like this happens. I just think it's not a good idea. I get your premise, but way too many people will get upset about it.

Lol. We've been together for 5 years and we live together. I'm kind of over the "showing her off" phase of my life. She does try and learn. She'll watch me play and try to ask questions. She loves MMA and hates IdrA. However when it comes to deep knowledge to really want to stay there for 10 hours a day ... it just isn't there. I'd assume it is like that for many people.

Maybe the idea of a family pass is a better idea. However I don't see how you wouldn't have a group of 4 guys just buy a family pass at a cheaper rate.

I'm more interested in seeing how much MLG think they can raise the price during 2012 and still get full venues. As a business MLGs golden goal is getting the price just right, not as low as possible.

With sold out venues, any kind of discount that wouldn't include silver/gold members would be strange.

Maybe bus pass-like? Like here in toronto, it's 2 adults and 6 children. '2 Adults' doesn't exclude homosexuals but it does exclude group sausage fests.

*EDIT.. wait most of us aren't children. I guess it's hard to bring your bro's and sis' and parents too... D: ignore what i said.

While I do think that the discounted rate thing is a tad silly, I do think that MLG should try and cater more to gamer's friends and family at the event. There should be more extra-starcrafticular events and offerings, similar to what the Stride booth does now. There's no reason that friends and family shouldn't enjoy themselves too, and I think that that is the deeper issue you're trying to get at.

I think that confusedcrib hit the nail on the head here. It is better to make it so those who are reluctant to come go and have a good time rather than giving them a discount to have a bad time.

Why not?
By being born as the right gender they have definitely earned all the discounts.

Same. I don't get all the herps and derps from those guys.
"I want to herped the same way as everyone else gets derped." wtf?
You guys really are THAT ignorant? No wonder no females want to particpate in such a horrible community.

Rofl what? Do you really live in germany? Liebe Leserinnen und Leser. Liebe Lehrerinnen und Lehrer. Liebe Elterinnen und Eltern. Who would argue that this is sexism really has a problem with his on sexlife i guess.
That has NOTHING to do with sexism. Otherwise you could also argue that building things for handicapped is discrimination ....
If thats what u call ethics, im sure we will all burn in hell.

Then the thread should be about hourly passes or something...You get a card when going in and pay for however long you've spent there when you check out. What I got from your initial post is that you want to bring your bored to death GF as an armcandy along for a lowered price. And all that for the good of esports to balance the m/f ratio.

Terrible idea. As if we didn't have enough problems when it comes to genders and our community. This male/female crap is getting old, really fast. Can't we just accept the fact that no matter what gender we are born, we are the one community, after all? Because that is only thing, which should matter.

Probably prices should be reduced relation to the girl's hotness, let's say 10s get in for free, 9s only pay 10 percent of the actual prize, 8s 20 percent and so on... In order to evaluate the girls we would only need some dudes at the entrance that are willing to judge people based on their outside appearence. Those guys won't be hard to find.
