Comments on: Has DIRECTV Overpriced NFL Sunday Ticket? http://www.dish-television.com/2008/07/09/overpriced-directv-sunday-ticket/ Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:01:04 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Aaron Kemp http://www.dish-television.com/2008/07/09/overpriced-directv-sunday-ticket/comment-page-2/#comment-19842 Aaron Kemp Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:07:11 +0000 http://www.dish-television.com/2008/07/09/overpriced-directv-sunday-ticket/#comment-19842 Sounds like a party! I agree DirecTV had to stop charging extra for the Superfan with HD. There are all kinds of stories on message boards from those who call in year after year and threaten to cancel. By doing this usually they got $120 worth of credit on their bill or something else to compensate for the high cost of ST. I thought this was going to go away completely once they rolled HD into the Sunday Ticket package, but it looks like some long time customers are still getting some additional money off if they call in and ask to cancel Sunday Ticket. I guess its a matter of persistence in some cases as some call in and the service rep just goes ahead and cancels per their request! Sounds like a party!

I have always felt cheated because i pay the extra $9.99 for HD access and don't think i should have to pay $100 for ST games in HD. Now in 2010 i am getting ST again. They have now rolled SF into the regular ST for $314 early bird which i think is great. This is cheaper than what i was paying from 2008 on back to when SF was offered. I also didn't buy a 42inch HD LCD TV to watch regular digital programming. I have always compared the cost of ST to how much i would spend attending games or going to the sports bar. And since i do not miss any of my Cowboys games and nobody is going to convince me otherwise i personally find value in ST. From noon Sunday to 1am Monday it's all football, steaks, beer, and friends for me Sep - Feb. So i am getting my $ worth. (I no longer have a wife to bug me about this either LOL!). 2009 was the first year in 10yrs i didn’t order Sunday Ticket due to job worries related to the economy.In the past i have always included Super Fan because i wanted HD games and to keep track of my fantasy players.

It is now 7 payments of 44.95. I have had the ticket for a long time but this has gone to far. I am not getting it this year because it is to expensive. I run a fantasy football league as well and it will suck not following my players but the money out weighs all. I just looked and it has gone up again for the 2010 season.

I have always been very satisfied with the sevice and the customer service. Being from Philadelphia, and at the time, living in Missouri, NFL Sunday ticket was a Godsend. The first few years the price was more than reasonable. But like many others, I just wanted to see my Eagles games. Now, the price has gotten totally out of control and the greedy NFL is to blame for this. So I no longer subscribe to the NFL package, haven't for years. At least 4,5 sometimes 6 Eagle's games are on Monday night, Sunday night, or the second half of a double header. And sometimes their games are shown delayed on the NFL network. So screw the greed of the NFL. I have been a DIRECTV customer since the first satellite was put in service (1994). I have always been very satisfied with the sevice and the customer service.

For all the gripping and complaining that we all do. The ONLY way that they are going to see the light about these extremely overpriced packages ,( Namely The NFL Sunday Ticket ) Is for us football fans to close our wallets and suck it up and watch local television. Or quit all together and go to a different provider. I agree with all of you, these absorbanent prices have to quit. I will not pay for HD twice, it's not fair to us as subscribers and as football fans. It is almost cheaper to get season tickets. At least it would be in HD. If we boycott the season. I guarantee the prices will go down in 11. Good luck to all of you and I hope you all have a great upcoming football season. With out all the hidden charges. Al I can tell you this.

Now they are threatening to strike or lockout for the 2011 season! What a joke. I know directtv plays a part in enriching both sides so I think its high time to stop contributing to this mess I cannot justify sunday ticket anymore. especially with the way these players and owners are posturing over the billions of dollars they rake in every year.

I had the Redzone Channel last year with Directv and it was awesome, but I'd rather pay $5.99 a month for the sports package with Dish, than $400 for NFL Sunday Ticket and Superfan; both of which are needed in order to get the Redzone Channel.

I paid for it once again in 2009, but for the 2010 season I am going to have to see a price drop on Sunday Ticket or there is no way I will once again subscribe.
