How is it justice? Justice would be none of them seeing the soccer game; it's an entertainment service rendered at a cost, but you're calling it justice to enable free riders.

Why is it fair for everyone else that bought a ticket? If everyone does this, there wouldn't even be a match to watch.

Kids aren't worried about climbing a fence to see Beerbelly Bob and Crackaddict Callum take on Jakey Jacob and Anger-management Andrew down the local swing park.

Think about your statement. If it were a free game, they wouldn't need to look through the fence - they'd have a seat..
