Clippers of Nfl Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I was so mad when i went online to my directv account. I clicked on nfl sunday ticket, and price is now $315. yikes!!! I'm still getting it. Maybe that's why I was mad. lol So who else is krazy like me? Meaning renewing or singing up for sunday ticket.
bigskyfan Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 after 8 years of subscribing i am cancelling this year because of the price increases over the past few years and already signed up for dish network. So they not only lost my 315, they lost a customer altogether.
Brand J Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I remember at one point the Sunday Ticket was like $159, which averaged out to about $10/game. Inflation and greed. Greedy bastages...
MaineMoxie Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Holy cr@p, are you serious??? I might have to think long and hard about renewing. That's ridiculous.

drewfla Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I think thats before the extra fee for HD as well isn't it? For the first time in 13 years I'm not getting it. Between the Bills ineptitude and the price increase it has lost its appeal. Of course if they turn this ship around next year I'll be back.

So they not only lost my 315, they lost a customer altogether. not a negative reply - but i have had dtv for 8 years also and recently we had to go to the southern tier for my wifes' mom's funeral. we stayed at her sister's place and she had dish network - it was horrible compaired to dtv - but i hope that is not your experience.
joemac Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I was debating letting it go, but with the price increase I am out. And when my contract is up I may dump DT all together and go back to cable. I like DT but miss the on demand program options.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I'll be trying the same threatening to cancel trick that I used last year. I got the ticket with superfan for $160 last year. I also get center ice so hopefully that will help. ...If not I'll still probably renew even though I have season tickets and go to all the home games. There's just something about being able to drink as much as I want in the comfort of my own home to watch the Bills find new ways to make me insane
eball Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 People are funny. No, I don't like the price going up. But acting as though $315 instead of $279 (or whatever) is a big deal is kind of ridiculous. Buy one less pack of smokes a week.
DDD Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 It's not about the money with me. I've subscribed since 2002 but am not renewing this year because I'm tired of wasting sunday afternooons watching a bad football team lose. And that's saying something because I'm a huge Bills fan. I'll have a better time playing with my kids and not feel I wasted a precious day off work as I prepare for the upcoming work week. I'll certainly subscribe in 2011 if I see signs of us being competitive.

billsfan89 Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I remember at one point the Sunday Ticket was like $159, which averaged out to about $10/game. Inflation and greed. Greedy bastages... Honestly I know the cost of things go up but 315$ and that doesn't include the HD that is going to run you around a 100$ extra. I remember my brother and me wanted to buy my dad the NFL Sunday ticket plan for him and it was below 200$ and that wasn't that long ago. Also I remember before last season a lot of people here said you could call them to cancel they would discount the price and give you HD for free. So if you think that its too much I guess you could try to give them a call threaten to cancel and they might give you 50-75 off and throw in HD on top of that. As for me I live in an area were I can't see the Bills unless they are playing the Jets so I usually try to get a link to watch the Bills play on-line Yeah not the best quality but you gotta support the team.
Got Wings Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 The only reason why I have DirecTV is because of the NFL Sunday Ticket! My wife allows me to get the ticket because she would never see me on Sundays otherwise. You want to look at the price in a different way.. look at this scenario. Imagine for $315 you have season tickets for any team in the league. You can still tailgate before the game. You can get up and get a beer or go to the bathroom at anytime. If you missed the play, you can simply you can hit the rewind button and watch it again. Don't get me wrong, if I lived in WNY, you would bet your butt that I would have Bills and Sabres season tickets. However, this is the next best thing and some ways it is better.
PS 56 Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 For those who are going to cancel you need to call Direct TV and do ity ASAP. As for me, my brother and I split it. I'll go to his place to watch the games.

I'll take 17 weeks of football at roughly 20 bucks/week. heck, I was spending 50 bucks a week 15 yrs ago sitting in a bar 'just to watch the game.' I take this deal anyday. At full price it seems a lot....but I'm a perpetual sucker for the Bills.
Big Turk Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 maybe you should check this site out instead: my2p2.eu sites like these are what cable and satellite company execs stay up late at night having nightmares about...

While the Ticket isn't an option for me, I like getting out to a bar on Sundays, to meet up with like-minded folks, to watch the Bills. Seeing them at home is cool, now and again, but it's good to get out of the house!
Spillerwich Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 If you look at what they have done closer you will see that every game is in HD this year. They charged an additional $45 for the season because they've done away with the super fan pkg. It is still cheaper than last year. I payed 400 for it last year. It works out better for me
HurlyBurly51 Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Honestly I know the cost of things go up but 315$ and that doesn't include the HD that is going to run you around a 100$ extra. I remember my brother and me wanted to buy my dad the NFL Sunday ticket plan for him and it was below 200$ and that wasn't that long ago. For what it's worth, this info might help people. The auto-renewal price is $299 this year, and that includes HD. No more superfan this year. Last year it was like $270 plus another $99 for HD.
