There are cameras at all games already. And they are beamed back to Sky HQ for Merse can comment on them. So I can't see pumping them out to us would cost much more.

Yes, get your point @DeanoVilla But think of the extra subscribers and therefore advertising these greedy gits will now get.

To be honest the cynic in me thinks they've priced it high to start with so they can then do a u-turn in a weeks time and drop it to a tenner so everyone thinks they're getting a bargain.
Wouldn't surprise me if they drop the price in a few days after the backlash. Was probably all part of the plan.

I remember when I first paid for Sky in the 90s. When I put it on I remember thinking "I've paid for this AND they have adverts!"

If the price stays the same and the situation doesn't change, perhaps it is down to the club's to make paying that ammount more worth while. Would it be that hard for a club to say 'show me receipts for 5 ppv games and we'll give you a shirt' or something like that. it won't cost the club much, but would have much more worth to the consumer.
I have Now tv and pay £20pm for all eleven Sky sport channels but cant see anywhere that you can get a day pass for £7.99, they are asking £9.99.
It appears that you will have to go online and order the games in the same way as you do the boxing, so you wouldnt pay for both, but you do have to pay for the Now tv platform in the first place, either stick or box.
Whichever I will not be paying so I dont care.
I am guessing Sky will be looking at the most loyal fans, and not putting them on the inclusive packages, in the knowledge the likes of Villa fans will pay.

I'm calming down now and thinking I only normally go to home games, can't get tickets for away games and if I could I'd be hard pushed to afford every trip now that I don't work,
If they offered me an away game on box office in UHD at 15 quid in a normal world I think I'd take it as it has to be better than not seeing it or having to watch it on some stuttering stream with a picture that looks like someone has smeared vaseline on the screen.
We really are spoilt aren't we these days, remember the days when if you didn't go you didn't see it, like the 1976 win over Liverpool. The days when MOTD only showed Highlights from a couple of game etc.

You get introduced to someone who provides, then download a few bits and bobs to the firestick, pay and off you go. Or so I'm told... I wouldn't know obviously!

I would never do this - but Kodi is your friend.
You can run it on a PC but it is fiddly/frustrating I've heard.

Yes, in normal circumstances is the salient point though isn't it? Most of us want to be at the games.
I have said a few times over the years, as I struggle for away games health wise quite often, but also as my mates became non season ticket holders, it was harder to get tickets to go for the day out with them, that I would pay ppv to see the games. But definitely think the price at the moment is so steep. I think this might have the oppositive effect for me, I think I might cancel BT and Sky. I only have Amazon Prime for free postage, the fact that has tv attached is a nice bonus.

Yes. I know what I will do come next Sunday no matter how poor I think the whole thing is.

It’s an absolute doddle to stream games, my streams are usually just the Irish Sky Sports so same coverage but with Irish adverts, if it plays up occasionally then I can click NBC or any other channel that shows Premier League, picture quality is decent too, not what you’d get through your tv with a proper Sky/BT subscription but then you aren’t paying for it either. Even with all the options of watching games it’s still nice just to watch Soccer Saturday I think (Or at least it was before they sacked 3 of them).
Pretty sure next weekend the box office channel will appear on the list of channels as it usually does when there’s a big fight on.

Me too, never think to watch stuff on Amazon. So like you say football is a bonus
I did watch the whole series of Vikings that's about it oh and the man in the high castle.
Pity Amazon don't get all the games

I voted yes before actually reading the details. Since this is through Sky and BT it's a resounding no. If it were through AVTV, with the money going directly to the club, then I'd be more up for it.
I'm not convinced £15 is a properly economically optimised price in the first place. It's just broadcasters trying to squeeze even more money out of consumers. Time and time again Sky undermine their subscribers, they've absolutely ruined boxing in this country because they make any fucking fight PPV these days. They're a joke.
Thankfully good quality streams are easy to find.

Baseball Ticket costs vary widely across teams, but the average cost is $65.06. Don't forget to add in parking, which costs an average of $16.32 per game.30 Mar 2018.

I went to see Chicago Cubs 2 years ago, free standing aisle ticket (In other words you stand in the gangways where there’s space as the seats were sold out) and that cost about $40 if I remember right. Not sure who you were watching for a dollar!
