Default Unusual pricing strategy

Tickets for the FIFA World Club Cup in Abu Dhabi

See 5th Place game and semi final with Inter Milan for 195AED

or the 3rd/4th place play off and final (probably with Inter Milan) for 70AED...

Obviously want to ensure a full house for the final but still. It's a bit like ADMC reducing their online coverage of the Premiership from 320 to 270 AED, a bargain by the way - get all the games online for 45 quid and just watch it through the tv. Who needs Sky?

But you still need the ADMC box, for which they are charging AED999 unless that has also been reduced.

Similar pricing strategy last year with Barcelona, family prices worked out even cheaper, the ground still was not full for the final,

So first I will need to spend AED2,500 for a laptop and rely on the dodgy internet connections over here? So then how does the ADMC card work?
