Sunday Ticket Subscribers Could Receive Up to $2500 in Damages (6 Billion total) (1 Viewer)

[St.Dan]

I had DirecTV for a little while in the years immediately before the pandemic. They tried to sign me up automatically for ST even though I had no desire to have it. Called up “customer service” with AT&T to protest and apparently they’d been coached to distract callers with inane topics with their probable favorite team.

CSR: “Well, how do you think the Saints will do now that they’ve signed Adrian Peterson?”

That’s a true and direct quote. Canceled them, and now I get by with a screw-in antenna from Walmart and the pirate sites when I need them

what does ST cost now. last time I subscribed it was less than $200. Use apps to watch my games now for free.

$450.00 on YouTube. Up $50.00 from last year. And this is without a YouTubeTV subscription.

I cringed at the $400.00 last year.

Seems like it was around $200 when I started the package with DTV, and then was around $300 ($350?) towards the end. I usually didn't pay full price though. I would call their customer retention number (after learning to do so on this board) and ask for whatever discount they were giving new subscribers. I think every other season you could get them to give it to you for free in exchange for committing for another year, and the other seasons I could still get a pretty good discount or some free premium channels.

I've had DirecTV and the Ticket since 1996. Was very nervous about it streaming on YTube since I don't have high speed internet, just a shot to the nearest cell tower. Has worked well last year on YouTube. Yes it's expensive as hell, but I don't have any other expensive hobbies...'cept maybe bourbon...

It was when I first started back in 2000 on DirecTV. $200 was the going rate and I would call as well. Either got a discount or HBO/Cinemax for six months, something along those lines. Before that, I was hitting the local bar as "that Saints fan" and they would turn on one TV with the Saints game for me.

It's just over the top expensive now.

I was a subscriber every year from Sunday Ticket's inception until they left DirecTV , and then I stopped only because my internet connection isn't consistently good enough for streaming. so I will be expecting about $2.50 out of that.

The only people that make out in these big class action lawsuits are the lawyers.

Switch to Starlink maybe?

That was me, too! That was how I got my wife to go along with the ticket, it was cheaper than going to the bar every Sunday during the season.

Elon will be getting ZERO of my dollars.

 

[Andrus]

Switch to Starlink maybe?

I started to, but my sister has a lot of trouble with outages and connectivity with Starlink and I am not putting up $600 for their equipment only to end up eating it again like I did with the incredibly despicable & horrible Hughesnet service years ago. Even the highest plan was worse than dialup!

I learned something today.

It's actually a whopping $489 with a YouTube account! Holy carp!

On YouTube TV it's $350 without Red Zone but you're paying a lot more per month.

So much for YT 'innovating' ST. All we can do as consumers, not just ST but pretty much everywhere these days, is withhold our money (and bootleg )

Bootlegging is a lousy experience though with buffering, racist idiots in chat and unstable streams. At some point, I'm going to just throw in the towel like I have with the Nationals. Tired of fighting the Angelos' ridiculous rules. They STILL require a CABLE subscription for their sports network so bootlegging is the only option unless you want to time warp to 1990s.

That was me last season.

... it was cheaper than going to the bar every Sunday during the season.

This the same conclusion I drew about halfway through last season. Didn't end up purchasing it but I think this year I'll give it a go, if it makes sense schedule wise anyway, because spending every Sunday at the bar is definitely more than $450.

I had it for many years until Payton was suspended. That was the last year I spent any money on the NFL other than ad numbers watching a game on something I already had

I was a subscriber from 1999-2018. Dropped it after the "no-call" season and decided to never pay to watch a game on tv again. No regrets.

I would love to be included in this lawsuit though.
