I think it is possible, although not necessarily easy, to play an event for free. I do spend, but during the Lair event I wasn't spending much, and I never bought potions. (I was time travelling to boost my energy to play for passes, though). The passes do loosen up towards the end of the event in my experience, so you may find it gets easier in the last three days.

But yes, your friends who finish fast probably did pay, at least some of the way. Mine are a mix of paid and earned this time around. I bought a few different package deals that included sunflowers among the haul.
