Youtube announces Sunday Ticket pricing

[fairviewfarmer]

I will do it. So I can complain about it.

 

[VACowboy]

If you can afford it....heck why not? Who cares, right,?

Priorities. Some people spend a hell of lot more on other forms entertainment and recreation and stuff I wouldn't blow money on than I spend on Sunday Ticket.

Why is it so hard for people to comprehend that not everybody likes what they like and shares their opinion on everything?

I live in Virginia, two hours from DC, so, yeah, I get most of the Cowboys games. But I don't get all of them on local TV, don't want to scrounge around to find a rogue stream and don't want to go to a bar to watch football. And, yes, I like watching NFL football, often 3-4 games at a time. So I will gladly buy Sunday Ticket.

Edited to tone things down a little.

I live in VA outside of DC like you. I watch every Cowboys game in HD for free and with DVR capabilities for $0. It's too easy to find HD streams of every game. Super easy and not as hard as you make it sound at all. I also can watch nearly any game I want. I just choose to spend money on other things because I think it is a ripoff. You can use your money anyway you want but I definitely don't have to share your opinion on anything and I can express mine whenever I want, just like you can.

Basically, the same price as DirecTv Sunday Ticket if you purchase early.

Was hoping for a single-team option, but in the end will probably hold my nose and pay for it.

Why would anyone buy this? Is it so you can watch EVERY NFL game if you wanted to? To each their own, but I have no interest in watching anything other than Cowboys games, and maybe a playoff game, or two.

This. I’m a Cowboy fan and I will watch them only. I also have RedZone so they can weed all the bad games and I can simply watch the important drives of certain games if the Cowboys aren’t playing.

Also, regarding Sunday Ticket (or whatever it is called now), I feel like it is a waste of money once teams take their bye weeks because it seem like in the late window, it is only 2 or 3 games and more than likely the good games from that window is on your local channel.

Well, good for you. I don't recall asking you to share my opinion or questioning your right to express anything. I'm certainly not asking your permission to spend my money how I want. You asked a question and I answered it.

Your answer was a snarky opinion even after you edited your message, to "Tone it down". Don't act like you are innocent....LOL W/e bro, it's all good. Enjoy your Sunday Ticket.

You asked why anyone would pay for Sunday Ticket and I told you why I do. I didn't give an opinion on anything or question your decision on Sunday Ticket like you questioned mine.

When you purchase NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV, you’ll be able to watch games on up to two screens at once.

YouTube and YouTube TV subscribers will also be able to watch up to four live streams simultaneously on one single screen with our multiview feature.

This has me excited.

I'll keep pushing the IPTV argument over any other option.
Quality, quantity and affordable.
Every sport, every team every game.
Plus everything else cable TV provides.

Never seen this before? Is there an app?

I spend all Sunday on red zone and flipping through games. I’m in a few fantasy leagues, so it’s my hobby, but if I didn’t do fantasy, I wouldn’t be interested.

 

[Concord]

Mohammad Allah Akbar... I agree with you.

Same old stale pricing model as the previous Sunday Ticket. I had hopes they would start to get more creative like game by game options, monthly options, or team options. Something like game by game options would get me to buy Cowboys games that I cannot normally get. So instead of getting a hundred bucks out of me, they get nothing and I still watch the games through other means.

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping they’d offer more dynamic options and pricing. These “all or nothing” subscriptions are just not worth it to me.

On average I’m only “missing” maybe 4ish Cowboys games per season, and it’s super easy to access alternative streaming methods for those. BUT, I’d be willing to buy those handful of games via YT if they offered a fair option. So now instead of getting some of my money they get none of my money.

Call your doctor if this excitement lasts longer than a football game.

Jesus H Christ... Just let me buy only the Cowboys or even better just let me buy individual Cowboy games when needed.

Unfortunately that's not the business model anymore. Like with everything else, they package everything so that you not only buy what you want, but what you don't want as well.

Exactly............it just all boils down to what you prioritize in your life and what you want to spend your money on.

Personally, I got a new daughter on the way so you know where my time and money (yeah, like a lot of money) is going.

But if I was single, didnt have kids, and spent every weekend in the fall watching football then yeah, I would probably sign up for Sunday Ticket.

The MLB package is like $100 for the year…lol

Because baseball sucks.

There is just too much entertainment out there now that gets my attention - no way in hell I am spending this much on even a season of football. Make an actual streaming service for this crap already and price it similar to other streaming services. Here's a brilliant idea: Start pulling old games out of the NFL vault, restore them, put them into the streaming service so there is more reason for a subscription once the season ends.

Yep. Five a bucks a month for complete NFL streaming of all games as well as an on-demand library of NFL games going back as far as they have recordings.

That is actually a very good idea my friend............it would costs next to nothing to put the old game broadcasts on the service and people could watch both current games and big games from the past (like the old SBs or the Ice Bowl).

Kinda like on streaming services you can watch the current season of a show or go back and watch all the previous seasons as well.
