Sunday Tix, Woot!
Wow, DirecTV is actually LOWERING prices for the Sunday Ticket this year, and by a lot! (that probably means they'll raise prices to $400 next year! LOL)
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-0...ure-users.html DirecTV (DTV), trying to broaden its audience, is cutting the price of its Sunday football package by about 40 percent for existing customers and offering it free to new customers for a year. The largest U.S. satellite-TV provider said today it is dropping the price for the NFL Sunday Ticket package, which gives users access to all regular season National Football League out-of-market broadcasts, to $199.95 from about $325. Customers that also want access to the games on mobile devices will pay $299.95. |

If you do that for 16 weeks, don't you think you can buy your own beer and wings, watch the game at home and save money? You need to take the gas money, time and convenience of staying at home into consideration as well.

As far as saving money by staying home..............you already paid the $200.00 for the football and then you have to add the wings and beer in there too. So your actually spending more by staying home. |

Say what you want about baseball, but 10 times the coverage for half the price. NFL is a rip-off. I'm an NFL fan, but that's price gouging, even with the discount.

Re: Sunday Tix, Woot!
Now that would be a great way to justify the price!
Purchase, invite friends over, and if you can't afford it, treat it like pay-per-view. Charge admission at the door. That's how we used to work WWF pay-per-views back in high school. Each of us would take turns purchasing events, and the rest of us would throw in five dollars at the door.
