You sure will The only difference content-wise for the Premium stream and Standard stream is the opening keynote and closing ceremonies, which are for Premium subscribers only.

So.. why is it so much just for this extra content... and a moogle costume code?

I was kind of expecting more like 10$ to be honest.

How else are they going to pay for all the booze and strippers?

No, that's where the money goes for the people showing up in person lol

I was expecting something like 14.99 for some reason. Eh, the moogle outfit isn't something I would like, so kudos to all those that will have it. Now that people will start wearing the outfit I suggest we have a Mascot job. eh? Eh? no? ok just a thought.

Seriously though it's only 20 dollars and if you're stressing over 20 dollars then you should probably stop paying for a game with a monthly subscription then, lol. Blizzard charges 40 dollars for their "virtual ticket" in comparison.

I don't think he is whining, it's just that it's overpriced, the opening and closure ceremonies, the mog costume and the LL in HD isn't really worth 20 $ ( Especially since these ceremonies will be on Youtube or other streaming websites right away i'm sure )
Well I wouldn't pay even 1 $ for the ceremonies and the HD...

Has nothing to do with Having the money or not having the money. It's getting your money's worth. Even if I had a million dollars I still would want to make sure I got what I paid for. 20 dollars for "Minimal difference between Standard and Premium Streams" to me personally i outrageous.

I do hope someone will have a stream open streaming the Premium event though :P.

Having a free stream in SD which is more than likely going to be 480i loaded with people because it's free which means higher chances of the stream quality being terrible vs 20$ for a HD Stream (either 1080p or 1440p which means much better visual quality) with more content to see and a moogle suit, which for me is just an added bonus since when I watch a stream, I don't want to be able to count the pixel because it's being streamed by a potato.

We got a different definition of outrageous.

When that exact same HD version of the video will be available via Youtube within hours? Yeah I still think it's outrageous. I would do it for 10, but not 20. In fact keeping info away from " fans" and barring it unless you pay is kinda ignorant. But hey, I'm not the one wasting the money so it doesn't matter ayways. I am just putting it out there that I think the pricing is steep. ( Even though we as fans should really see this "Fan Fest" even in HD for free, but I won't even go there as it doesn't matter).

Plenty of other people and myself would rather see it live than deal with hassle of having to find multiple decent links but if that's your preferred way of watching stuff, be my guest. Value (to a degree) is in the eye of the beholder after all.
