Sunday Ticket Will Be Priced At $300/Year With A Possible Cheaper Single Team Option (2 Viewers)

I think what they'll find is a large portion of people would pay $100-150 for a single team vs $300 for all of them. They will get sales they normally wouldn't have.

Yep. This is what I’m thinking. If it’s anything like MLB.tv, the $100 to $150 range makes sense for a single team pass.

They don't want EVERYONE to buy it, because then their servers have to be able to handle the traffic. They also want TV viewers to be a big number because the TV money is still HUGE. It's better for them to miss the market by going too expensive than it is to miss by going too low. I expect individual team package will be $99.00.

The TV money is still there. Youtube is not going to put cameras at every game. Just like DirecTV, they'll just package the TV transmissions from NBC/CBS/FOX/ESPN.

If anything, part of the money Youtube is going to pay will go to the networks transmitting the games.

I'm in for $300 for the season for all teams. Me and roommates would split the price so it wouldn't be too bad.

 

[SuperSaint]

That's why they're pricing the full option so high, they want to funnel people into the single-team option.

I remember back in the day when directv started offering Sunday Ticket and I believe you could get single team coverage for like $79…makes sense that it would probably be $100+ today.

 

[Bayareasaint]

So if it’s in the neighborhood of $300 for all 32 teams, then that’s roughly $10 per team… if the single-team option is around $10 I’d do it.

Not sure that all teams are valued equally, lol!!!

Do you guys not get DAZN in the states? It’s $24 a month and you get every game.

That sucks. I was praying for it to be added to prescription. It’s the same as DIRECTV. Wish it was still with them. At least I could call and get it free all the time

 

[SaintsMan209]

I only care to watch the Saints games. but it sucks when you pay for sunday ticket and the game is on fox an d then y ou gotta buy that too. it's all trash. waste of money for a phony addiction.

I would pay $150 for a single team option as long as I don’t have to subscribe to YouTube tv as well. Direct tv is getting turned off in a couple weeks.

I doubt that. The point of getting the Ticket is to bring in more subs to YTTV. They're not gonna offer a standalone package. Or rather, I'd be pleasantly surprised if they do.

 

[BigDSaintsFan]

If they offer a single team package, I’m in. The only reason I have the ticket now is so I can watch Saints games.

 

[superchuck500]

Considering the cost of attending a game in person, this is not a bad price.

And considering that this is for out-of-market fans, it’s quite reasonable. Your options are (1) watching local at a sports bar with the package, (2) not watching, or (3) traveling to the market.

Option 3 really isn’t reasonable for a whole season so the comparison is with option 1 and 2. I think it’s a pretty favorable option.

I have the NBA season pass on my YouTubeTV and I really like how it works in the interface.

 

[State Of Affairs]

I guess you're being facetious, but clearly, the single team package is going to be more valuable on a per game basis to a given team fan than the full package. I'm guessing it would be worth at least half of the full package, if not more.

If I remember correctly, the NBA has a single team option and it knocks off like $20 or something.

My point is that I bet fans will be disappointed when the single team option comes out and it’s $250 instead of $300
