Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I’m interested in some improvement. while the research in the article is wrong 1) you can buy Sunday ticket month to month and cancel 2) it won’t get you all of your games. in order to watch all the bills games I had to subscribe to this year, in one way or another; 1) Sunday ticket 2) Hulu or some other service supporting ESPN 3) nfl network in someway 4) Some other NFL APP for preseason fix that for the love of all!

My dad isn’t in college but I’ve been using his email for years. People on EBAY also sell Sunday Ticket logins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 On what basis would this case succeed against the league? No one has to purchase Sunday Ticket....unless they want to watch games other than those that are not network broadcast. The NFL does not want to allow teams to sell their own viewing rights (that would be the end of revenue sharing model that keeps the NFL as is). What precedent is there for forcing a company to change the way it has chosen to sell its product (a large fraction of which is given away for free anyway)?

Gisele Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I don't mind paying for $300 for Sunday Ticket. I just don't want to pay DirecTV $2232 a year (not including Sunday Ticket) so I can buy Sunday Ticket. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What precedent is there for forcing a company to change the way it has chosen to sell its product (a large fraction of which is given away for free anyway)? The “large fraction” is not exactly given away for “free”, they are very well compensated. They just get paid a different way. But I fully agree with you that the network games and the leftovers are theirs to sell any way they’d like. Make it a million dollars a game if you like. Then I’ll just pass. The trick is finding the right balance. It’s up to the owner of the product to decide how they sell it. Econ 101. (Full disclosure, I did not read the article.)

I use the garbage that is AT&T U-Verse daily, but DTV is only for Bills games and the 2-3 times a year U-Verse goes out. To pay $300 would be a pleasure. Heck, I could go to Europe on the savings!

I'm blessed to live in a building that ALLOWS me to buy the Ticket as a renter and stream it on my TV/computer/phone (super helpful at fall kid soccer games). This is rather interesting as the major sports have a monopoly waiver from the federal government as their entire organization is a Trust which is unlawful under those monopoly laws.
