[?] Spontaneous number spitting: If you sell 500 tickets for an average of $70 (some standard yearly, some Premium), $3500 goes to the prize pool. If you sell 3000 tickets for an average of $15 but with a higher percentage (say 20-30%) going to the prize pool (somewhere in the vicinity of $7500-$10000), Gom would not only still make more money than they do with these tickets, but the prize pool would grow as well. Now, obviously it's not exactly that simple and a lot more number crunching would have to be done, but I feel a lot of people forgo getting tickets today because the prize tag is still quite big. I also have almost zero historical basis for my statement other than 3 DotA tournaments, but attempting cooperation with Blizzard - maybe a decal or a portrait to go along with the ticket purchase, but right now I see the comparatively high price deterring many from buying a ticket and thus in the end ending up with a sub-par prize pool. Of course, someone at Gom has likely considered this already, but it's how I see it. Viewers are often cheap. | ||

But this is the SC2 community. 3,000 people weren't even willing to spend $4.99 on an 8 month season of Proleague. | ||
