penguin Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) They are so out of touch it is insane. You can get a Now TV day pass for a fiver and potentially 3 games and any other sport that day etc for that and they want to charge £15 for one game? Look at DAZN, BeIN & Peacock etc and you’re getting a months worth of every game for that price. Think I’ll be sticking to the “alternatives”.

I fear they'll use this as proof that there isn't demand if it fails, rather than questioning their pricing. Admittedly more than one person can watch, but if you'd be watching alone like I would, this is more expensive per game than some adult Villa season tickets. I'll be pirating it. I’m not bragging, more pointing out how crazy your prices are. Last year I paid $60 for a digital season ticket. This year it is $50 for the year on Peacock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and i ain't paying £15 quid for a premier league game either but its an opportunity to watch a game you wouldn't normally have access to, no-ones losing out. PPV sport has always took the piss but n context of Sky paying 3 billion for 128 games I can see why this one is the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its not like anyone is going to more out of pocket than they normally would be for watching it. And Sky BT and the likes all pay god knows how much for rights to package of games they get. They ain't gonna do that if fans can then watch any game they want for a fiver a pop. I doubt the clubs see this as a revenue builder anyway. Its more a case of fighting back against the government who wont let them have fans in yet at same time expect them to show all their games for free. By paying 30-40 quid though, you get the atmosphere and experience. It's, obviously, a completely different thing. It's the morality of charging a struggling economy an excessive amount of money for one game, when you can buy passes etc for a third of the price. You don't think sky and BT make an obscene amount of money from their TV rights? Of course they do, to then make us pay £15 if we want to watch the team we love for 1 game is obscene. Like others have said to watch villa for the next 3 games, it'll cost you £45 on top of any other subscription. To watch Everton's next 3 games, it'll cost you nothing on top of your subscription. It's exploitation. If you see nothing wrong, then I really struggle. I hope NO ONE pays £15 for a single game of football on the telly. NO ONE. and that idea is binned forever. Money grabbing bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not going to cost Sky or BT anything extra. For what was exactly free last season. This is a monumental level of idiocy that will enrich the vast monopoly on Premier League competition. People should be paid for their labour. This is a scheme to enrich Sky and BT. Nothing more. Edited October 10, 2020 by The_Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The NHL plays 82 regulation season games, and, if you want a single team pass, it’s $115 streaming price with no fixed contract, even before the playoffs are taken into consideration. That’s a lot of hockey and roughly around $1.50 per game (assuming you watch all regular season matches). The all access pass is $144. There are some limitations applied. But you’re not forking out for a Sky or BT package on top of everything. If you wanted to watch one month of Premier League football, it would cost £238 for every game. Of course, not all fans would, but it’s scandalous in every way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, not all fans would, but it’s scandalous in every way. Similar story with the NFL and NBA as well. NFL game pass is £144 for a season, where you can watch every game live (around 250 games), plus highlights, features, documentaries etc. It works out at around 60p a game assuming you watch every game. If you only watch one team for the 16 regular season games it would be £9 a game. I think a PL over-the-top subscription model is probably where broadcasting is moving towards. But if they were to charge £15 a game for a model like this, a season pass to watch all 38 games would cost £570; to watch all 380 games would be £5700. I think that speaks for itself at how utterly ridiculous their prices are. I don't mean to be overly academic about things, but there's well-established research that states that segregating losses (i.e. having to pay separately for each game) is bad for people's perceptions of value. This is exactly why the American game passes, season tickets etc. work so well, because you only pay once a year. You think less about how much each game costs to watch, and so getting value for money is less of a concern. Slapping a £15 price rate on every game means people can easily decide whether a game is going to be worth the cost or not (and for the most part, games not chosen for TV won't be worth it). I for one won't be paying £15 to watch the games, especially when there are so many other ways to follow the game live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MessiWillSignForVilla Posted October 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2020 Man Utd and Liverpool in being huge words removed using a pandemic as a power grab shocker. Some of the notable awful suggestions; - Reduction to 18 teams in PL, which essentially means kicking two teams out of the EFL, which could well be a death knell to those clubs. - Scrap the League Cup and Community Shield, only to start the season later and introduce a summer tournament, so they can have their money making friendlies i.e. nothing to do with the complaints players have over playing too many games, just that the Cup doesn't earn them enough money. - "Special status" to 9 teams (Everton, Southampton and West Ham are the other three), with a 6/9 vote needed to make major changes, essentially giving the top 6 a monopoly on how english football is run, hilariously including a veto on new owners that may challenge the top 6. - Bring FFP rules in line with UEFA's stricter rules that limits clubs losses and owner contributions to 1/3rd what it currently is. - Shake up of how TV Revenue is distributed, with one part based on three year performance. I.e. let us have a bigger slice of the pie or why should we be punished for being shit? - Changes to the loand system that allows even more players out on loan domestically, which would allow much easier hoovering up of lower league talents by top clubs, stifle youth development at these clubs as the lower leagues get lttered with PL cast offs, and bring further damage to the England national team as young english players will get more hurdles put in their path to first team football. - Just the general bribes/hostage taking throughout the proposals, with the Man Utd and Liverpool showing they could save english football if they wanted whilst helping fans and the womens game, but only if they're allowed to run it totally for their benefit from now on. I really hope this falls flat and fans of all clubs protest it. It's **** disgraceful that they would use a time of such desperation to do this. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Well this would be a **** up. I'm not surprised they'll try it though. The prem and the big few clubs won't give a shit about the same clubs always achieving. Its what they want. They don't want fans around the world having to cheer on 20 different teams. Just have 4-6 teams and everyone else just makes up the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
