Who's getting a "Not available in your country" message when trying to buy the live stream event pass for Saturday & Sunday?

ETA - I believe this is the link to the YLE (not live) Saturday TV broadcast: https://areena.yle.fi/1-4212380

Sat 7.10.2017 19.10 Yle TV2
2 h 38 min on 7.10.2017
Only available in Finland

Guys I've send a message to this guy named Oskar who seems to be in the technical/webpage staff of the streaming, have not answered yet BUT

I have a VPN account, I have connected using a Finland IP and even for my finish IP it says that the stream is not available in my country (Finland) so, even geoblocked for the finish people??? and my vpn is working because I can watch the Yle TV online live feed

I guess they are having some issues and that this most likely is an error on their side. So we will have to check later

Will let you know if I heard something from them

Thank you, @Braulio. This is very helpful! I know someone who can use this information. Will pass along.

Update, Oskar answered me this:

Hi, no it shouldn't be geoblocked, you can click on the login button in the bottom left and sign up from there

Though I dont have any option, I had to log this morning to watch friday session so I log out and log in but no option shows for me to buy the stream nor the message of 'not available in your country' disappeared....

Have sent another message, guy is still on like so hopefully I will hear from him soon

 

[Braulio]

Now the 'not available in your country' message isn't showing anymore, though still the option to pay isn't up yet

So slowly but steady it seems is getting on track, I'm putting Oskar to work hehe, I've told him we are many people in the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe having the same issue and we are potential costumers so $$$

I just purchased following the link above. This time, I did not receive the "not available" message. However, it now says in red letters "intercome is not defined". I have no idea what that means and when I click on the "contact us" link nothing happens. Hope I haven't wasted my money.

I just checked my email and have a thank you for purchasing email from Finlandia Trophy with the following message:
Your pass will become active on Friday, October 6, 2017 10:00 PM and it will expire on Sunday, October 8, 2017 8:59 PM. During that period you will be able to access all content on Finlandia Trophy, both live events and existing videos.

I think they are going to some updates or tweaking the website for paying, message of geoblocking indeed is not showing but I think it will be safer if we try to purchase later or some hour before the event starts if possible

The world cannot be so cruel to have me sit through the entire men's event and not get to see DivaSusie's LP.

Order is restored

Now the option to pay (via paypal or credit card) is showing and NO geoblocking

Just bought it from Israel with PayPal, no problem.

Sunday evening I sent a FB message to Finlandia Trophy complimenting them on their camera work and clear audio signal and telling them how much I enjoyed the live stream. I really hesitated before purchasing the pass for Saturday and Sunday, but I am so glad I did. I could have spent that money on a lunch out with friends, but the live stream was great and I had a very entertaining weekend. I also received a nice comment from Finlandia Trophy to acknowledge my comments.

For those who purchased the Saturday-Sunday event pass, the full videos for all 3 days, including the award ceremonies, can still be viewed (after you log in): https://www.oz.com/finlandiatrophy/browse
