Youtube reveals its pricing for Sunday Ticket

[Rams8821]

DTV had a student streaming option. I used my sons college email address and got the ticket for like $109, that was a deal. Hoping YT does something like this.....

 

[dieterbrock]

Does anyone have information on if Sunday Ticket will limit accounts to one viewer at a time?

I've seen that it can be viewed on 6 devices, but have also read that it will allow 2 concurrent streams for "family sharing" so at the very least, you wont be stuck with the 1 viewer per deal that Direct TV had

That was how I used DTV sunday ticket for years. Its really easy to register for a college course every year

Sucks, 4 out of the last 5 years DTV just gave it to me.
Customer since 95. Bought the dish and put it up myself just to watch the Rams when they moved.

It was excellent. I dont want to shell out $349.00 but if I have to I will....

I’ll pay whatever they ask , since I haven’t missed watching a game in the past 20 years. Last year with all the prime time games , it was a little pricey for just a few games.
I don’t think they will be playing many this year. Dammit

I have YouTube TV, but still not sure that is the optimal option. I rarely watch games that aren't on regional/national TV, and living in Seattle means I get the Rams twice (at least), and they end up regional a fair amount of the time. With McVay, they end up national often as well, although prolly not so much if they're destined for 1-16.

Still seems I'll continue to use international VPN and pay $20 when I want the game...

Ongoing Sunday Ticket antitrust litigation could reveal plenty of NFL secrets​

The NFL strongly prefers to resolve all claims against it secretly, so that the league can keep its secrets. Regarding the Sunday Ticket package, some fairly intriguing secrets could eventually be revealed.

During draft week (that’s my excuse for not getting to this sooner), Daniel Kaplan of TheAthletic.com posted an item regarding some of the information that has come to light during the ongoing Sunday Ticket antitrust litigation. Because the case is proceeding in open court and not through the league’s internal arbitration processes, things the league would rather be quiet are getting out.

First, a ruling from the presiding judge regarding a squabble about documents produced by the NFL disclosed the full list of options for Sunday Ticket, post-DirecTV. Beyond YouTube, the candidates were Apple, Amazon, Roku, and ESPN. The league also considered making the package directly available to consumers.

Second, further disclosures could show that the talks with Apple failed because Apple wanted to make the package significantly cheaper for consumers. The plaintiffs in the Sunday Ticket antitrust litigation essentially are arguing that the league has withheld documents that would show Apple wasn’t selected due to its plan to offer the package for less than consumers have been paying.

It has been suggested that Sunday Ticket can’t be offered at a significantly lower price, due to the NFL’s contracts with CBS and Fox. Beyond the price of the full package, Apple might have wanted to allow consumers to buy Sunday Ticket for all games of only one team, or one week or game at a time.

As it stands, Sunday Ticket continues to be an all-or-nothing proposition. One large, flat fee for everything. If you only want Packers games, you have to take the rest. If you only want certain weeks, you have to take them all.

Regardless of the outcome of the pending case, a potential P.R. disaster is looming for the league, if/when fans realize the lengths to which the “football is family” crowd has gone to make it unreasonably more expensive for families across the country to watch only the out-of-market games they want to see.

If, for example, the NFL could have gotten the same money from Apple for Sunday Ticket and consumers could have gotten the games for less, that’s about as bad of a look as the NFL could have to some of its most rabid and loyal customers.

Well balls, Apple had the right idea if true. I still think the NFL would make more money by offering a more customizable, a la carte service. Oh well.

I just canceled my direct tv account after about 15 years and signed up for youtube tv. So far I'm liking it alright. not as mush as direct tv but my pocket book sure likes it! I went ahead and paid for sunday ticket early as they are giving 100 bucks off right now but I think that is about to end.

I be used YouTube TV for the last couple of years. I paid the early fee. I have two kids. One is a sophomore athlete that eats like he’s three people. $259.00 is like one trip to the grocery store for me. So I look at it different than some.

Last year I couldn’t get NBC on YouTube TV, so you may have to go another route if that happens again. I’d watch the weekly NBC game on my phone.

I went to my brothers and logged onto his direct TV account last year and then I was able to watch all Rams games for free. I wasn’t able to cast it to my TV though. So I bought a device that plugs one end into an HDMI cable and the other into my phone. It worked. Now it’s my turn to let my brother use mine.

It was excellent. I dont want to shell out $349.00 but if I have to I will....

If you subscribe to YouTube live TV now I think you get it for $249.00

This would have been great. I have a Sony tV though and I cannot watch Apple TV on it. I’m sure there would be a way around it. I’d hate to buy a new Tav when this one is still good.

 

[Psycho_X]

Can't get 4k without paying $10/month extra it seems.

 

[Selassie I]

At least they have that option... I guess.

Looks like they'll be getting an extra $10/month from me.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I’m not sure if I have the 4K plan or not. I’ll have to look

Is that for youtube tv?
I was looking at the Sunday Ticket signup page and didnt see anything about that, only if you sign up with YT TV or not, add on Red Zone or not.
I love being able to watch on 2 devices.
One thing I havent seen mentioned is the multi game channel that was on ST. Assuming that stays the same? Thinking with having 2 device I'll have that going on 1 TV and the Rams on another

 

[AZRams]

I'm on a free trial of youtubeTV right now because I caught the Caitlyn Clark fever and had to watch her play live. It's a pretty good service from what I can tell and you also have unlimited DVR space from what I understand.

Upside: Unlimited DVR space
Downside: They clear programs out after something like 8-9 months

Yeah that's the fee to have 4k available through youtube tv's general packages. Assuming that would need to be added to have NFL games in 4k... course I'm assuming NFL games have a 4k option? I'm actually not sure now as I have been streaming for years and just have it defaulted to best available and never really checked. Would be good to know though before committing one way or another so will have to research more.

 

[Classic Rams]

I have always considered Directv whenever this conversation comes up before every season.

But then I think:

"Pay $100-200... or stream for free?"

Pay?

or Free?

Free has won since 2013. And my streaming service has gotten a lot better in 2022 with almost no drops or buffering.

Since 2022 I also watch at a nearby friend's house on their 3 TVs so that's pretty much settled.

 

[RamBall]

Guess whose streaming online free for a 16th year?

If I have to stream the game no way in hell am I paying to stream it. I can find plenty of other ways to spend my $.
