Hmm Well I was only able to work them over for $9 a month on the ticket, but I got free Max. I was also able to get $40 a month off on my bill for the next 12 months with no contract. With a total saving of over $500, it was worth the 15 minute phone call. This all was done through customer service, I didn't have to go to retention.
I went with the "This service is getting way too expensive and cable is having a deal. The only reason I'm with you folks is because of Sunday ticket and with the total cost of my monthly bill and the high cost of Sunday Ticket, this just doesn't make sense anymore."

Why in the hell would a person pay more when you can get the same product for less? Most people don't wipe their ass with hundred dollar bills. I saved over $500 today, that buys a lot of beer, ammo or gas.

I don't know why you guys haggle on car prices guys. You should just save up more money throughout the year. /Inmen58

So Sunday ticket is the only thing I would watch in a year that I can't get over the air or stand alone streaming. Which makes signing up for Direct TV ridiculous. |

I've said it every year.....but offer me only the Chiefs games for $150 a year....and I'd pay full price for it. I don't need all of the other games. It's nice to have for my fantasy football team....but I don't NEED it.

My monthly DTV bill without ST was about $115 (and I had nothing like HBO added). So I'm saving the difference between that and Vue. But would I pay $350 for ST for four-plus months on top of Vue? Yeah, I might. Probably. |

I had called earlier this summer or late spring because they had raised our bill like $40. I spent several calls being transferred into dead air. I eventually went to the chat and got a retention manager's direct line and talked to him. I cancelled sunday ticket at that time, but got my bill cut in half and free HBO-Show for a few months. That expired a couple of weeks ago, so we had that shut off.
I think my only play is the "I only stay with your service because of sunday ticket and if I dont' have that I can go with the local cable provider much cheaper"... |

I am sure most people here have plenty of money in the bank to pay this. It's not about that, it's about charging a ridiculous price for it. I don't mind paying half and don't expect it for free. But it's also clear DTV doesn't feel it's charging a fair price when offering it for free to new customers and making deals to existing customers. I'd rather pay half off every year then to have to call and waste my time. I wish they would just charge something reasonable. Their business model is complete shit as a company and it's sad they have the monopoly on NFL football. It's the only reason I have them.
