Attending a live performance is more enjoyable than watching thesame event on TV

[Agshin]

Everybody likes to watch football. When there is some football match you can see a crowd in front of the stadium, some people wear colorful dresses, others draw their skin with the various flags and emblems. Of course also you can not find a ticket for the current match, because all tickets were sold out. All these facts show that people prefer to attend a live performance than watch the same event on television. My points for this argument are listed as follows;
We can count a number of reasons why is it enjoyable to attend a live performance rather than stay at home and watch the same issue on television. Firstly a live performance, crowd, exhaustion, support of fans is what make people come to the stadium and watch the match or other event live.
When you go to the theatre or to the stadium or some other performing area to attend a live performance you are gaining a chance to see famous people with your own eyes. For instance if you are going to a concert of a famous singer, may be you will have a chance to take a photo with him or with her, to take an autograph of her or his. You are not able to do any of these acts if you are watching an event at home from TV.
The other advantage of attending living performance is the availability of seeing the whole performance as it is. For instance if you are watching a performance at home from TV, you are just able to see what the camera captures and specially the advertisings which lasts for 10 or 15 minutes on TV make performance boring. In contrast if you are at a live show or at a concert you can see and enjoy the whole performance from beginning to the end as it is.
So, to sum up, in my view the disadvantages outweigh the advantages when you choose to watch the performance at home from TV. It is more enjoyable and fun to attend a live performance.
