DirecTV drops price of Sunday Ticket under $200

[scowan]

I live in KY, close to Tennessee Titans territory, so unless I want the Titans every Sunday (yuck!) I have bought Sunday Ticket for 3 years now. Great news!!! However, I will say with 17 weeks of Thursday night games coming this year, the number of Sunday games is getting fewer. How can they keep charging over $300 when their product is smaller now than last year? The skins have not played a lot of Nationally televised games in years past, so the opportunity to watch them for free on an ESPN, NBC is not there. Out of market skins fans have to get the ticket.

Yeah Matty, I know is $200 now. What I was saying is their product has dimmished with one less game on every Sunday with a Thursday night game EVERY week starting this year. Something had to give. You now will have a Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night national game EVERY week.

Sunday Ticket use to get you a maximum of 14 games each Sunday, now its only 13 in non-bye weeks. They have lost a game, so they can't keep charging the same $300+ price. In Bye weeks you are down to only 10 or 11 games some weeks. Sunday ticket subscribers were paying around $20+ a week last year, now it s amore reasonable $11-$12 a week.
