If you want to watch Miss Universe on Sunday, I have good news and bad news.

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first.

The tickets to watch the international pageant in person at Tyler Perry Studios have long been sold out. Less than an hour after they were released on the Miss Universe website, every seat was claimed. 44 tickets were listed for sale on resale site StubHub as of noon Dec. 5, but the cheapest one was $1,140, more than 10 times the price of the cheapest face value ticket.

The good news is that you can watch the pageant for free at home (provided you have access to a TV, Fox 5 and/or Telemundo). The pageant will be broadcast on both Fox and Telemundo beginning at 7 p.m., with Steve Harvey as host. Contestants from 90 countries will take the stage at Tyler Perry Studios and compete until one is crowned Miss Universe 2020.

But if you’re set on seeing it live, keep an eye on those resale sites and maybe take some money out of savings. Miss Universe in your backyard counts as an emergency expenditure, right?
