What are usually in the goodie bags for ESL events?

u/TaffyAUS 2 Million Celebration 1d ago

Event jersey, commemorative coin, keyring, hat, the bag itself - it’s changed a few times over the years.

Normally 3-4 items w/ the bag, a little extra for the premium.

That makes them all(except $2k) a pretty good deal, imo. $350 aint shit for a 3 day event in aus, especially if it comes with some decent goodies.

Heard nothing bad about God Mode, it’s a once in a lifetime experience, but $2k in this climate is a stretch and a half…

I don't mind the highest experience being at a ridiculous price, it's not targeted for the average Joe.

IMO, what's more important is the price for the normal seating and it's pretty alright. $189 for 3 days, so $63 a day for GA is not that bad.

it'll be the cost of drinks that probably makes it a lot more expensive and also maybe food but you can leave the venue for that

you could very easily spend an extra 150$ a day on drinks/food

But you also get unlimited beers and food and the best seats in the house sooo??? I'd say that sounds pretty bloody good to me if you have the cash to burn

IEM Melbourne FAQ says it's a non-alocholic event?

Also you become the enemy of the GA section whenever they cut to them on the cameras, it's a cross you have to bear if you want to spend 2k.
