Glad to see this open bracket a lot more successful than ipl 3 as that was like 50% full if I recall. Hopefully some koreans like DRG have snagged some of those passes and will be showing up for the open bracket. | ||

The system you have in place for trying to claim a 50% discount on spectator passes is ridiculously annoying. First, why do you use a third-party facebook utility? I've never heard of this 'splurgy' company, and while I might be alright dealing with you guys -- might have some level of trust for IGN -- there is no way I should be bothered to agree to a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy from some unknown entity just to access a coupon code. Second, I don't even have a Twitter account. I have to Like your facebook page, spam my fb with links to it, AND spam my nonexistant Twitter feed? Obviously there are some very popular social media sites out there, like facebook and Twitter, but I really loath the idea of an account with them being a necessity just to access information about a product I'm interested in. I wish you wouldn't contribute to this trend. Finally, you have to question the wisdom of using a system where you even have to forewarn your users to try different/multiple browsers and/or disable Adblock just to get it working. Anyway, I guess the entire point of your offer is that you're trading a coupon in exchange for social media advertising. I just wanted to say that I'd rather pay full price than be a jerk who makes all of my friends endure me being a shill for you. I'm hoping that expressing my opinion against your chosen method here will make a difference... you mentioned you'd be reading every post. Thanks. | ||

We are using a third-party Facebook utility because it makes sense for our promotion. Facebook and Twitter both have millions of users that do not browse TeamLiquid.net or Reddit.com that could potentially be interested in our event. You certainly do not have to agree to a ToS or Privacy Policy to purchase a ticket, which costs $25. You can skip all of the promotion and just buy the ticket on our Eventbrite page here: http://ipl4.eventbrite.com/ We're sorry that you are against this sort of promotional discount, but many people will find it beneficial. We can justify the 50% discount because of the potential of more tickets sold. | ||

Am I the only one to react on subscription-based? You may have a minumum amount of months that you sign up for, and therefore it may cost you a lot more than 5 dollars to see this event in HD. There is no way to tell yet | ||

There is no way to tell yet Believe they already said on Reddit and maybe somewhere in this thread that you can subscribe just for the event month and then unsubscribe. | ||

There is no way to tell yet The minimum is a month, as in $5. =P You will be able to cancel any time. | ||
