Hell no, $1k for one match is a ripoff when I can stream the whole tournament for free and use that money on rent or actual fun.
Totally. Plus, you usually end up watching the stadium screens anyway because the live view sucks. I'd rather have perfect broadcast angles and my own couch.
One match is a fixed form; stay fluid, stream the Cup, and invest the thousand in living, the current carries you farther.
Paying $1k honors the players’ toil and binds strangers into a shared fate. Live attendance builds virtue, respect, and unity that no stream can replicate.
