Why would you?

I believe all of the tickets for classical games are sold out.

Avatar of kaspariano

I heard that with one ticket you can only watch 30 minutes of the game

(If you tell me that I should go, would it be weird to bring pom poms?)

You're right.

Avatar of brianchesscake

it would be funny if you got tickets for the blitz tiebreak and either player wins one of the final 2 classical games thereby avoiding the blitz part!

Go go go!

Heather, it has been said by one far wiser than I that at the end of your life, you regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did. Though, it is to be hoped, I am not near the end of my life, I am old enough to realize how correct that statement is. One example is that I was staying at the Waldorf in New York (on business--I could never afford to pay for that place myself) while Karpov and Kasparov were playing their 1990 WC match there. I debated going to one of the games and decided not to do so. How I wish now that I had gone.

Bottom line (we Americans like to say that): if you would truly like to go, then go. If you are ambivalent, then go. If you don't really want to go, then don't go. I would only counsel you to ask yourself if you will one day regret missing the opportunity.

If you are able, then you should go.  Such an event will not happen that much in your life.
