Glad to see a good discount for Gold members. 15 bucks for 2 ppv arenas and HD qualifiers is an awesome price.
For those wondering:
If you paid for the season pass each season, you will be pay $120 for the year for all events and HD.
If you have gold membership for the year, you will pay $90 for all events and HD. (includes $30 for a year of gold)
If you do a la cart every season you will pay $200 for the year for all events and HD.
* Of course this is assuming similar number of events and similar pricing structure each season.
Thanks for the breakdown. My only gripe is that I somehow feel like I am being nickled and dimed. I would rather pay for a platinum account ~75 for a year of all MLG content than having a gold membership and still having to pay for other events. With an up front lump payment I could make the decision once and be done with it. As it stands now as a gold member, when an arena event comes up I still have to pay at least a small fee and answer to the wife each time.

i can understand why MLG is doing this, but i am disappointed that I cannot watch the arena's without paying. Such good games 2

you can watch the vods after if you are so insistent
I doubt i'll be paying this time round ( I did last time, and am currently a gold member), as I can't really afford to right now, and should probably focus on getting my degree at some point, but I have no issues with those prices

This is still really dumb.
I wouldnt blame MLG for their pricing, after all if i was sundance, i probably charge as much as i could get away with.
and since MLG is a profit seeking business, charging a fee for providing quality service sounds pretty reasonable to anyone.
I definitely think MLG is going in the right direction, their efforts have come a long way in helping the growth of the esports scene in the west, think of how many jobs are created and how all those invovled benefit from this.

i'm really glad for MLG working towards reasonable pricing while still daring to make esports sustainable.
i'm personally not in a financial position to buy in on any of the tickets, but if i were, i'd probably throw down for gold membership and go for the gold discount season ticket--- fortunately the local barcraft has been good on gathering for the MLG events and providing a means for us non-ticket holders to get in on the arenas.

I hope they have robust sales with this new pricing model. More options are always better and this is a smart way to let people dip their toes in...should lead to more gold memberships.. Also its great to see them rewarding their gold members, as this was one of the major qualms people had with the winter arena.

I think the problem is that MLG is trying to switch to a different business model. They don't want gold memberships to exist at all. However people wanted them and they were selling them so they still have to honor them. This is their compromise.

This looks definitly far better than the last deal for the Winter Arena, i´m glad they lerned from it.
Seems like we´re on the right track that these events can be worthwhile for the companies and we don´t get ripped off.

Yeah, I imagine at some point this will be available. Seems silly NOT to have this option.

MLG has always been worth every penny I've spent on it. Always amazing games, always amazing content, always time well worth spent.

So when's MLG hiring you Streetwise? I agree completely that this should be available.

Watch all events this season: Not gold member: $30 Are gold member: $45.

Good to hear MLG listened to the complaints and dropped it to 10 dollars. Good price to pay, will be buying it.

Ill be buying for sure, as long as its not on twitch....
Don't get me wrong, love twitch for streaming in general but they arent up to snuff to deliver services at the pay-per-view level yet.
Its most likely going to be the EXACT SAME SHIT you got during the winter arena. Don't expect anything more than that! I would wish since the 1st arena is only going to be 8 players that they would have more free time to do interviews rather than shorter days.

I don´t understand how someone can spend 30 bucks for seeing a few good games 1 week earlier but well, if you have too much money. Why not. Honestly, "a few good games" is a severe understatement. MLG brings out the best in everyone who's playing and as such they put out some absolutely amazing games.
I find it completely pointless to spend $ on this arena event when you can see those same exact players at the free event in June.

I am fine with the Arenas being pay to watch because of the increased production value from the standard championship weekend!
Did you see the winter arena? I saw the smallest of increase in production value. Definately not worth the $ IMO unless you just want to watch high level play. I can get that every night of the week for free watching GSL.

Not sure how this compares to the GSL prices if we put side by side the hours of content and the number of games. It seems to me that the GSL would still come off cheaper, even though it is still the best SC2 league in the world.
In any case, gl, this seems reasonable enough to bring probably even better profit than the WA testing concept.
MLG currently does not offer a team league. In that case GSL wins because they do!
