DirecTV drops price of Sunday Ticket under $200

[MTK]

I've always been quite happy with DirecTV. Time Warner absolutely blows in comparison.

this is looking like my best option for skins games at 10am this year

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.

This = great news. I've pretty much signed my life over to Directv already since I'm in CA and Sunday Ticket is the only way I'm able to watch the 'Skins with any regularity. Paying less for the same thing I'm already getting makes me happy.

With out looking... my guess is $199. lol.

I love companies that tout their below a specific price then when you go check it's like $1 dollar below. WTF? With tax it will be over.

Hopefully you didn't just catch on to this.

I have been out of market for over 20 years now. I have had Sunday ticket since its inception and rarely miss a game. The Red Zone and mix are awesome when the Skins are not playing. A little happier that my price is now less after all of these years.

Maybe one day it will happen so for now I'll keep it a secret

I'll start guessing: You proposed an ESPN channel that you can buy that only plays your favorite teams' games. You were rejected, because it never would've passed what with the other networks protests.

Yeah the total # of games is down slightly, but I think more than anything the total # of subscribers have been on the serious down swing for the last couple years, forcing this price drop.

Why pay for something horribly overpriced when you can steal it for free? :cool-smil
