Besides, some people don't want their first time seeing anything from it being a crap quality bootleg.

The reason why Roosterteeth should (as a matter of opinion) just let the whole fanbase see it. What irks me is this whole idea of "Hey, if you don't live in Texas, I hope you enjoy the potentially disproporionate travel costs and the obscene amount of time that it takes to get here from another state or even another country. And if you can't make it then too bad, you have to wait another 3 months".

And if they really wanted to get some money out of it? Why not make it available for sponsors online? It'll be a massive incentive for those people who haven't signed up for one yet. If they feel that's not enough, they could make a "premium sponsorship" or something for all those 'super exclusive' videos.

The point here is accessibility. The ability to view these videos anytime, anywhere, so long as people are willing to support the company. Just about anyone can sign up for a sponsorship, far fewer people can actually go out of their way to attend a single event that could be halfway across the world. The digital age is all about mitigating such problems and fostering accesibility. Roosterteeth needs to get their head out of doing things the old way, and move forward to keep pace with companies that have broadened their horizons and allowed people to enjoy their services across the world.
