Premier League announces pay-per-view fixtures in October

[Trotter]

If you want to watch a live Championship game on ifollow it costs £10 per match that's for watching clubs like Derby, Bournemouth etc , the PL is hardly likely to be below that figure for clubs that have to pay players enormous amounts of money in wages . If anybody wants free football virtually every Spurs Women's game is available live on The FA Player completely free..

It is free for season ticket holders to watch their games on Ifollow, only pay if you are not season ticker holder and want to watch the game, which will be few and far between.

I do not know , on Bournemouth site you get a link https://live.afcb.co.uk , £10 for UK followers, £7 for international, don't know if Bournemouth or others have charged their ST's anything on season tickets for this season but it doesn't say anything about ST's get it free. That's the price set by the EFL so no way the PL are going to give games for PPV at a lower price.

No Championship club charge their season ticket holders anything, neither do any EFL for that matter. All EFL season ticket holders got mailed free streaming codes at start of season to watch their own clubs matches free on IFollow (except for the games shown live by Sky, which they don't then show on ifollow)
Was an agreement between EFL and Sky.

Exclusive: EFL agrees deal with Sky Sports to show every home match live at no additional cost

Landmark new deal agreed with broadcasters to ensure season ticket holders don't miss out

Way overpriced should be at least half that, I'll stick with my usual streams

We did get free passes for NOW TV from Spurs for the remaining home games last season but not sure if we can expect any more this season , certainly didn't get one for the EL qualifying , Premier Sports wanted £10 per game for that or £15 for all three but I think the stream from Bulgaria broke down !!.. Difference is EFL clubs can't fill the grounds and probably no waiting list for ST's , so PL clubs can basically treat fans with total contempt and they still come back for more.

Stupid pricing, it will just encourage streaming sites rather than get people to pay.

They should look at the music industry and how they managed to get people to subscribe to Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music et al. I mean shit I can have Amazon Prime and Netflix for a month for the cost of one match.

£25/month for your team and an extra £10/month for all matches.

It's where it is going anyway but for some reason, we have to go through this stupid charade of watching on unofficial sites and channels until they get their pricing right.

We lose because of the quality of the streams and they lose because they don't get out money. Fucking dumb

I don't know mate. My Russian has never been better.

Surely there should be a sliding price scale. Imagine paying £15 to watch West Brom vs. Burnley.

Further to the initial round of Premier League broadcast selections for the month of October, it has now been confirmed that our home fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion will now take place on Sunday 1 November, kick-off 7.15pm.
The match will be available to watch live via Sky Sports Box Office.

If Antiques Roadshow is on , not going to pay the £15 much rather watch something classy.

Fixed.

Maybe I'm wrong but perhaps it's PL clubs trying to encourage outrage and illegal streaming so they can go to the gubbermint and say "look see this is why we need to open grounds"

The aim of Premier League is they are trying to put pressure on the government to allow fans back in.
Could be just as likely to backfire with government saying we allowed you to restart on condition all games were aired on already used channels, now you are not doing that, you can't continue, or they could even remove the "Elite athlete" quarantine status
Will be interesting how this develops over next week, I can see some reversal happening.

 

[tototoner]

£15 a game? No thanks! That's almost double the montly cost of Netflix for ONE game!

Once again encouraging people to illegally stream! Why don't they get it? We'd rather pay direct to our clubs than into Sky's pocket and certainly not at that price to either.

"Luckily" for us our October games are on Sky Sports.

1 Nov fixture is PPV

 

[Gareth88]

I think a tenner would be the Max I would pay

 

[tototoner]

Back to IPTV over VPN for me

 

[Spurs 1961]

If they threw in a pint and steak/ale pie then maybe. Or give me a 4K TV. I want premium views and catering for that price

Yup I'd happily pay £5 a spurs game. But £15 is silly, illegal streams for me. Will give the club my money by buying merchandise instead.

 

[ShayLaB]

I bet Sky and BT have more subscribers than ever but the club's don't get extra from that.

 

[Marty]

Meanwhile, us Norwegians still get to show all the games without any extra charge on top of the regular subscription. Ours is already pricey at ~£50 a month but there's enough uproar over that price without having to charge customers extra fees on top of that as well so my bosses breathed a huge sigh of relief when they were told yesterday that we won't have to charge extra.

I've said it so many times, it's mad that domestic football fans get the short straw every single time.

It’s mental that they think they’ll be able to charge so much for PPV. Unless they are planning on a serious crackdown on streams, then all it will do is drive people to watch for free illegally.

Jeez, what group of adults would sit in a room and think that £15 per game is a fair figure! It’s just profiteering.
£5 a game and I think people would pay it, but £15 is just ridiculous.
