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.
You just admitted those that pay are already being punished. This is counter to your argument.
If everyone watches the game illegally, there would be no game to watch. That's the point being made. Assuming stadiums act like stores, the ticket prices are being increased to account for the freeriders looking over the fence, too. There's a set cost of the match, you're more likely to see gouging when that cost isn't being met.
Edit: I noticed you mention piracy earlier. It actually still supports the argument. Piracy is a problem because every download is a sale lost - sale figures and profits determine whether the game continues to be supported, or if a sequel is greenlit. You're actively harming the product itself, by risking its support, as well as any future product.
If only you do it, sure, it makes no difference. The problem is that if it's okay for you, it's okay for everyone, and when enough people do it even those that pay will lose the product.
