Sunday Ticket

Hope all is well and I am not sure if you have posted anything yet? What is Directv giving away as a discount for the Sunday ticket this year? I know they have gotten greedy as the years have passed on, but if anyone can share it is always helpful. This will be my 20th year and basically they don't acknowledge that like they use to. Thanks

I'm not even going to try this year there's enough football on TV for me so I think I'll pass this year. Lost a lot of interest in the NFL over the past few years anyway. Also I think if your calling now it's way to early. At least wait till Mid-August and they most likely don't have a price yet. I wouldn't give anything away until I see what's coming in I may not have to give that much away or on the other hand if subs are down I'll start making deals again. Just an opinion if I ran the show.
I have premium with the baseball package which I paid in one payment and my bill is $138 so if you add the baseball if I didn't pay it in one payment it would be low 170's. I get discounts and if you add them UP it's around $38 a month and coming close to ending in a couple of months. So without that I'm about the same as you and I think the discounts are going bye bye. Are you speaking to the retention dept? I see just on my block a lot of Century trucks lately and your right it's down right ridiculous. I'm close to 24 years with directv, I was with them before they were called Directv but you just knew it was a matter of time with this AT&T that things were going to tighten up. It maybe time to downgrade.
PS: To put it a different way "It's a fucken Joke" Excuse my language
Me: I would like to cancel Sunday Ticket due to the cost increases Her: when you think of it $360 is not that much. I mean if you would go to every game it would be way over $360, and I know some people like to enjoy a beer as well at a game which is usually around $7 or $8. Me Nah that is ok lets remove it. Her: How about if I take $10 off a month for the next six months. Me: Ok, lets do that..
I feel the same way and last year it was $160 I remember because the best I could do was 1/2 price although I got some other stuff so I took it for $80.
Can't believe it's $360 forgetitaboutit
Sorry kc you can't justify $360 on top of what you pay every month. that's really insane. Also over the years they have increase (It seems anyway) the games on regular TV. There's plenty football watch but I understand if your a big fan of a team which I'm not and you want to see them play every week then maybe it's worth it to the die hard.
Edit: I just noticed that's what Directv said to you. Sorry.
No worries I am a misplaced Chiefs fan..if it were just about watching games and I agree hard to justify.
Apparently the retention dept is now called "customer satisfaction" or some such crap. It's about time for me to call again. I don't want the football, but last time I called she gave me $15/month off in general, and $5/month off each of the premium movie channels, and a couple of other little things. No where near what they used to do, but dropped my bill from $170 back down to $125.
I'm fearing what they will do this time---- AT&T sucks!
Good luck, that is what I was trying to do and all they offered was for me to change my package and go from 260 mo to 228 mo. Let us know what you find out with your next Directv adventure.
According to the map it's going to be all around us but it doesn't appear that Las Vegas will get it anytime soon. Salt Lake city has it upcoming in San Fran and Potentially parts of Calif.
Yeah, that's what I've seen as well. Friends of mine talk about it and recommend it. Fingers crossed that something changes re: non-availability in Las Vegas.
Good luck as I have also, but before baseball I got hooked up also but ATT has taken over since then and I called recently and they said I could change my plan if I wanted a discount, nothing else.
We had a nice talk for a while and I told him I'm over a 20 year customer and I was customer before they were called Directv out here and he said I see you've been a customer a long time but that's it thanks for the answer I know already. I'll call again when it gets close. I just called back and complained that I have to paid one month's CC interest and if you guys aren't going to work with me I would like you to credit my CC now please. Another speaking to another guy he told me that they don't give credit that way and I don't want to go into the dumb way you get credit for something like an extra charge. So he gave me a one time credit for $10 to take care of the interest. He told me to call back as promotions change all the time and to call at different times.
So I'll call again in two weeks. I don't want the football I want the discounts it's nice paying a lesser bill for 6 or 12 months. They together with Century Link not the TV but the Phone and Modem. They have a deal if you get the phone and modem from Century Link they have a 5 year lock in program and you'll get $10 a month off your Directv bill. The price of course depends on what speed you want. Just an FYI there partners with Century Link just not on the TV part.
Did you get a deal on the football package? I called a couple days ago and got like 40 a month off for 6 months, but nothing on the NFL package.
Yes a couple of small Promotions and the NFL for $100 but the women said since it was out of the box promotion I would have to pay it all at once. I told her with a big smile that would be okay. It's without the Red Zone which I know people like but I never used it I'm more of a two game guy and go back and forth on just two games and enjoy watching the game instead of bouncing. So if you can't get anything on the NFL ask the person is there anything other then the Max package to make it cheaper. Unless you like the Red Zone and play Fantasy.
Thanks OT
Thanks
I don't think so. All those games are on WatchESPN(used to be ESPN3).
