How much would you pay for a Spurs 'TV season ticket'?

[SirHarryHotspur]

On PPV the bar has effectively been set by the EFL who on the ifollow stream have set a price of £10 , there is no way the PL are going to sell their product for less than £10 . Apparently teams using ifollow are getting 70% of the subscription with the rest paying for the service , what I don't understand is how it is reported that EFL season ticket holders get free access unless teams lower down the leagues have sold season tickets at full price and then allow fans to watch the service free of charge it would make no financial sense otherwise.

The PL must have consulted with Sky to see what the take up is on the ifollow service to have come up with a figure of £14.95, some say it is too much but from my personal experience I have saved money from not attending games so I will fork out the money so that I can watch uninterrupted coverage and if Spurs get 70% of that then it is only money I would spent at the stadium. Fortunately most of our bigger games will be on the normal service as I don't really want to give 70% of my money to the likes of Chelsea etc. when we have away games. I know we have paid 20% on season tickets but I believe that money will be credited to us next season if we can't get to games this season so not sure there is any reason to give ST holders free access.

Just found this looks like Ipswich are best supported on the ifollow service back in January , looks like it works

Further to the PPV uproar if clubs like Spurs do have to make cuts due to finances, it's not Harry, Sonny or Gareth that will be bearing the cost it will be one of the non playing staff . I think Spurs have something like 500 plus non playing staff , they are the ones that will be in line for being laid off as we have already seen at one of the richest clubs in the world up the road.

Admirable stuff. Would you have a link @wizgell incase Spurs fans would consider doing the same?

Tottenham fans join support for food banks over Premier League PPVs

Tottenham fans have joined supporters from other top-flight clubs in the ‘Charity Not PPV’ campaign to donate money to food banks rather than watch the club’s pay-per-view games.

Liverpool are also doing this, with all proceeds going towards flowers and get well soon cards for VVD.

And t shirts dont forget t shirts

I’ve donated my PPV. The thought of watching us go 4 up and getting a point was too much to bare

Nice to think some good can come from all this

Leaked figures suggest 74 people paid £14.95 to watch West Brom v Burnley. The premier league made £1106.30...

Just like they fucked up the whole concept of VAR through a crap implementation, they're fucking up the whole concept of a PPV season ticket through a crap implementation.

Out of interest how much does boxing on PPV cost , think the last boxing I watched Harry Carpenter was still the commentator so I have no idea.

Some figures from Walsall, apart from complimentary passes to ST holders they have made some money out of the ifollow platform also provided by Sky. They sold 751 passes for an away match not sure what they get out of the £7510 taken.

iFollow pass sales figures confirmed

We can now confirm how many iFollow video match passes we have sold so far this season.

About £15 to £20. But the thing with boxing is there's usually only 2 or 3 fights a year which interest me, so I'll make an evening of it with mates, start drinking nice and early maybe get a pizza or two in and it actually works out to be a really cheap night in.

For a Spurs game unless it's a huge fixture I'm unlikely to be inviting loads of mates round to watch us, and wouldn't really make a night of it. It would literally be exactly what it sounds like; £15 to watch 90 mins of football.

All our bigger fixtures normally on the TV picks so that will probably stay the same so it's really up the fans if they want to pay for supposedly less attractive games Brighton etc.
It's the lower clubs in the PL that are at a disadvantage as Sky/BT show more of the top 6/7 teams than those lower down the league.
Personally I don't find the price that terrible, it's £10 to watch EFL so PL is bound to be more.

There might be a small benefit to the smaller clubs too which hasn’t been mentioned. The Amex for instance tends to have 3000 away fans at £30 per ticket.

I bet a lot more than 6000 spurs fans will pay £15 each to watch Brighton v Spurs if it’s not televised on 30 Jan.

For the stories that state the EFL clubs give season ticket holders free access to follow their team on PPV this is from Walsall club pages.

"In regards to iFollow between now and the end of the month, SG stated that he will speak to Laura Greenhouse (LG) about this. SG did go on to mention that once supporters who wish to have a refund on their Season Ticket have received this, should they wish to watch the games on the platform they would have to buy a match pass for £10 on each occasion as they would no longer be entitled to receive an activation code to watch for FREE. In terms of disabled parking, SG mentioned that we are in a position whereby we either have to refund those concerned or roll them over for the following campaign. "

So Walsall have taken full payment on season tickets and only give free TV access to those who do not ask for a refund . Looking through the rest of their website it seems a lot of ST's have chosen to leave their money in the club so that the club can keep afloat.

When you sign up on ifollow it sends you to the club website to buy a TV pass so I assume the club get a percentage benefit from their sales, this seems to be different to the Sky box office which I had a look as it just asked if you wanted to buy Newcastle v Man U game so not sure how it works on the PL PPV. If 6000 Spurs fans buy for an away game where does the money go?

It seems to be understood that Sky/BT are only going to receive cost and that profit above that will go to the clubs, though how that money is apportioned has yet to be made transparent and may well not be. I imagine that for the 14 to have voted out in, it’ll be along the lines of home club takes 90% of the profit.

Will just go into the pot and be divided equally between all 20 clubs in the League

Somewhere in the £3-£5 bracket per game seems fair to me.

I manage to watch almost all of our games one way or another (ahem...), but if there was an easier way for me to do this with revenue actually going to the club then I’d support it.

Like the majority of fans, I don’t have the luxury of watching us play in person very often due to distance and the costs associated, so a solution which recognises the reality that we have a nationwide // global following would be great.

£3-£5 a trifle optimistic , if 751 Walsall fans are willing to cough up £10 to watch their away game at Harrogate I think watchers of Premier League football need to be a little more realistic about pricing, Walsall are in League Two ( 4th Division) .

"We can now confirm how many iFollow video match passes we have sold so far this season.
For our most recent away game against Harrogate Town, we sold a total of 751 passes, therefore benefiting from 251 of those after surpassing the 500 mark."
