                  • I have watched some sports that have been televised via webcams such the motorsport where they "drove" the cars on computers.....and some broke a few rules. Some were penalised the same as if it had been real life racing.

                    • On the rise and is well worth the rise as the rate the outbreak is causing is causing alot of issues and therefore the only way is through digital theatre.

                      • No - I am a dinosaur and prefer to see performances live - I will be first in the queue when live performances start again.

                        • I really appreciate the opportunity to participate online with greater offerings. Long may these enhancements continue to increase. More people will get an opportunity and this should translate into greater interest after the lockdowns are over.

Unless you want to pay for it cheap price $5. Its a good idea that the world can watch this and pay for its. In the way they making so much money you watch online as its personal may have 100 one time but now will be digital 500. So noway if not person i will not watch its as no point paying that much money not to be they.

Where the audience used to sit are thousands of screens, you log online and you show up via your webcam in a seat along with all the other fans around the world. Genius and a bit weird at the same time.
