Many of us watched a slightly delayed stream on a Chinese channel tonight. Not perfect but free.
I'd be curious to know if people are signing up and paying the extra $9.99 for TCC. I want to see it, but it just seems wrong for them to charge for it after they made it appear that it would be included under the Season Pass. Is there any other way for us in the U.S. to see it live?
I had two options. First option: drive six hours to Spokane, spend $150 for the hotel, then $400 for the tickets (two people), and then another six hours back home. And the second option: pay 10 bucks and watch it on my own HDTV. I know those options are not really equivalent, but still 10 bucks was good enough for me. And yes, I am an IN subscriber. I will try to recover after those $10. Just one lunch...
I don't even remember what was included when I bought the full season pass last summer. But paying another $10 for this event--- sorry--- it just didn't infuriate me the way it it did some of you. I payed. And I watched it all. Case closed.
And those that STILL balk at paying for the IN pass- I will say again. It's a small price to pay for all the event coverage you get. Is it perfect? No (and IN needs to be on top of their technical game), but it's the best option for hard core fans in US. I have no idea how/if it is available around the world.
I say this every year ... and get hate posts every year, and really don't care. But for me, buying IN programming is totally worth it and think others are foolish who make a 'moral stand' and against paying... all you're doing is missing more access to skating than has ever been previously available.
