Sunday Ticket Deal

My wife has complained for years about the price of Sunday Ticket but I always get it anyway. So today she got in a live chat with a Directv agent and told them that she thought it was bullcrap that they give new customers a deal on it but faithful customers have to pay quite a bit. So they gave her a "loyalty deal" and now I get Sunday Ticket AND Red Zone for only $99.96 this season! It was gonna be $377.94 if she hadn't argued it down. I just thought I'd pass this along to anyone that thought maybe they'd wanna call and bicker. Maybe you can get this deal too. I really don't care about the Red Zone part but am glad to get a good deal to watch all the games that either won't be on tv or I won't be going to. Hope this helps somebody! That $99.96 can be paid at once or over 4 payments btw is what they told her. Maybe instead of arguing amongst ourselves we can take a break for a moment and argue with Directv instead? LOL!

 

I'm trying to decide on paying for Sunday ticket to use with the PS4.

 

When they first started doing that a lot of people were complaining that the streaming didn't work as well. I'm sure it's probably a lot better now.

 

It wouldn't be surprising if the streaming left a little to be desired, but anything is better than some of the alternative means of watching.

 

I usually call and say I want to quit Sunday Ticket and they offer me some reduced rate but not $99 for the whole season!

So BFT, what is your Wife doing at 7pm PDT tonight - I'm thinking of hiring her as my agent when I call DTV - any chance??

 

She will probably be waiting for me to get home from church but maybe I can get her to get on there and argue for you. She drives a pretty hard bargain. She did it through the "live chat with a staff member" or something like that instead of over the phone.

 

I don't mind calling DTV on the phone - Customer Service is USA based and I don't have to use my 7-11 language decoder

 

Yeah my mamaw has comcast and you talk about disgraceful customer "service". Man.

 

i have actually cancelled Direct TV including the NFL sunday ticket, as Im going away for a month. It was a pain because I had to turn in the Equipment. So when I do return I will get it again including the Sunday ticket for this year free and a reduced rate for their Direct tv like they give all their new customers. They get out of hand with their pricing after a couples years so when they dont renegotiate I just cancel them and start over again.

 

For what it is worth, my friends wife threatens to drop Direct TV every year. And every year, they offer her a reduced rate, and she keeps saying no until she gets a drastically reduced rate. Next year, she does it again.

I think she does something similar to my buddy, but that's his problem.

 

Lol so your buddy pays his wife to stay with him? Sweet!

 

This past year I was seriously thinking about going to Comcast... I use them for internet and as long I don't have to talk to anyone I'm pretty happy with the service.

I put this to DirecTV/ATT last year and I got a SMOKING deal. I have VOIP/Internet/DirectTV w/many movie channels & the ticket for the 2nd half of last year and all of this year for a crazy low price (including genie for two rooms). I keep looking at my bill for it to go up but so far so good (I kept comcast internet and use the AT&T internet as an alternative for random stuff like phone streaming).

Anyway it's CRAZY low (way under $100 month for everything) so the deals for free Sunday Ticket are out there. I've been with them for 10 years so maybe that helps. Not sure what will happen after this season :-S

 

Was 377.96 just for Red Zone and Sunday ticket alone? Or was that included with your normal cable bill every month?

 

It can be paid for over a 4 month period when it gets close to the season. I asked my wife about that and I think that price was for Red Zone AND Sunday Ticket. Seems like normally just Sunday Ticket was like $250 or so. If someone is a new Directv customer though they get a better deal on it. I've been a customer of them for a really long time. Probably like 13 years or so I guess.

 

Are you sure about that, Direct TV and Sunday ticket are address based. If the name on the account is different with the same address fine. But same name same address doesn't qualify as a new customer unless they gave you some type of loyalty break. Been there done that.

 

This will be my first cancel. I will be gone from the area for 2 months. Hope that means something. we shall see.

 

I last had DirecTV maybe 5-6 years ago, and while it can be frustrating, I've found that most of the games are viewable in my area. This season I am guessing 13 out of 16 will be on TV based on times and opponents, unless something crazy happens. Yeah I could easily drop $100 going out to eat at a bar with NFL ticket, and sometimes I do, but DirecTV can kiss where the sun don't shine after I cancelled and they tried to claim an early cancellation charge when I was out of contract.

 

Is it the same Sunday Ticket on PS4 as it is on DTV? One of the only reasons I keep DTV is for the Sunday Ticket or I would have left long ago.
