DrW Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 On 6/2/2023 at 1:17 PM, Jukester said: I went with the stand-alone Sunday ticket/red zone package. YTTV doesn’t carry Bally sports which carries all the Cardinals and Blues games here in St Louis. I could get by without but an absolute must for the rest of the family. So when I look at switching, I’d still have to get Bally via another sub and it ends up costing more than I pay now for DTV. As much as people complain about DTV, I never paid full price for ST Max in 11 years, usually free or at least 75% off at worst. Also would call every year and get steep discounts on tv package in general. So this switch just means I have to fork over $389 for the ST/red zone package and have to show the family how to access it differently this year. Not gonna complain too much - that’s still not bad as we’ve got 3 nfl teams we follow and this assures we’ll get every game. I just did the same. However, it is important to be aware that the $100 early discount only applies to this year. Youtube clearly states that next year it will be $489 for the stand-alone ST w/ RZ ($449 w/o RZ). Of course, you can cancel it before it renews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the next sale. And the next sale could be even better or not as good, or not on the terms you want. But did YTTV state there will never be another early discount in future years? On 5/31/2023 at 9:02 AM, Beast said: If a game is shown locally are blacked out on the Sunday ticket. All games shown on local television in your area will not be shown on Sunday Ticket. I would assume so. Just like DirecTv had those games on local stations. Always found that kind of annoying on DTV. Would rather be able to just click up one or maybe two channels to see local game rather than have to switch from channel 800 something to #4. If they have the technology to know say I'm in the Buffalo viewing area, why can't they also show the channel 4 broadcast on channel 8XX. Likely will be the same with YTTV too Edited June 4, 2023 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not find a link, but the receipt I received for my payment says that the price for next year is $489. Membership details NFL Sunday Ticket + NFL RedZone Regular season $489.00 Inaugural offer $100.00 discount limited to your purchase today -$100.00 Recurring annual charge (Billing starts: Aug 6, 2024) $489.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $489 Reddit starts to look good again. Actually was disappointed I had already signed up when I saw this years schedule, as many Bills games that are either at 4:25, or prime time, kind of felt it's not worth paying for it.

Riverboat Ritchie Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Anyone know if you can order YouTube before deadline but delay start date till around season start.

If I sign up today or tomorrow and want to pause immediately, would I still have to pay for June? Nope, no charge other than the $289 Sunday ticket cost or whatever it was with red zone. I signed up and paused the same day. They labeled day one as a “free trial” and billing was set to take place the next day. But that was the day the pause took effect. 2 hours ago, Riverboat Ritchie said: Thanks. Do you have to call to get the delay or can it be done online? Thanks. Go Bills. All done online in your profile. Just make sure you set the pause right after you sign up, because it takes effect the next day, which is the day your first bill will charge. So if you don’t set the pause immediately you’ll end up being charged for the first month.

This could have swayed our decision. I'd have to do the math to see which would have been cheaper our own #17 has a Verizon commercial about it on TV .

Buffalo Boy Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Verizon is offering Free NFL Ticket with their Homeplus internet plan. I had Home wireless internet already so I bumped up $10 a month and got the ticket. $120 isn’t bad considering how DTV bent me over the last 4 years because I had Verizon and not AT+T.

I used the student discount when my kids were in college - for me at first they checked and I had to send proof, but after a while they just kept renewing it even after my kids graduated - from their perspective my kids were in college for like 8 years 😛 I assume the last years they knew they were done when their contract ran out so they were just trying to get any revenue they could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like each game is a pay-per-view event, so insanely gross we don’t even realize it. Pirate, then break this thing up.. and the owners can deal with a little less square footage at their fourth winter home. Tech pirating will always stay ahead of the curve, gov regulations.
