NFL Ticket is being offered for $199. I called them up and said I would give them $149 and they took it. Just thought I'd pass it along.

Nobody pays full price except Chyren

You got that right. And I'm their oldest customer.

They will definitely work with you.

I called them and told them I didn't want to renew the NFL Sunday Ticket, that it was too expensive.

They gave me the "we'll you've been a valued customer since 1998 so we'll drop the price to $150."

Told the guy I needed to think about it. And they dropped it to $112.50 (5 pmts of $22.50).

I'm sure if I wanted to beat them up more, or talk with a supervisor, I could have gotten that a little lower but that's about $7 a game...I can live with that.

Someone should really ask how a government granted Monopoly (like the NFL) can turn around and grant a monopoly of its own.

The only reason I stick with DirectTV is because they have the monopoly on the sunday ticket.

I paid the 199.00 and did not complain. I actually think it's a relative bargain considering having to find a crowded sports bar, and taking my kids along to watch the game. This way is much cheaper, and I did not even think to beat them down any. Oh well I guess for me 50.00 dollars I could save or whatever price I have to pay sure beats having to go to a sports bar any day. I would gladly pay whatever they charge because I want to watch my team each and every Sunday.

I just paid $80 and that gets me a Ticket against the Jets, round trip Bus, AND a tailgate lunch at the stadium!

Going to the Seahawks too!

Are you talking about live appearance at the Jets game or the DirecTV Sunday Ticket, Treasure?

just called and got it for $99

What did you say to get it for $99?

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

I got something in the mail from them saying the new low price is now $299. I called them up and told them I see it advertised on their site for $199 and that I've heard of folks who got it below $150, and I want that deal. They put me on hold and came back and said I could have it for $99. I didn't even need to threaten to cancel or anything.

Mention Viacom. Maybe that will drop the price.

Oh I'm sorry.....I didn't realize you meant cable.

Back when I lived in NYC (99')I had to go to a local bar to catch the Phins and Dan Marino. The Internet was primitive and such cool things like the NFL Ticket didn't exist. This Bar had a Huge dish on the roof to catch all the games. I had to sit next to Jets Fans and breathe in second hand smoke. Great wings though! I would have paid $150 in a heartbeat back then. Nice score!Shit , my Dolphins Digest was like $75 back then.........

Just got half off complete package price of $150.

I started with I want it for free because new customers are being offered it for free. I've been with direlectv for 8 years, and I said that wasn't fair. They said they'd give me half off. Probably could have argued about it, but I'm at work. I'll take the half off

I got it for free this year.

LOL

I couldn't get it for a year when I had my beach condo so I tried signing up again last march and they wanted a $400 deposit. This after being a customer for 15 years. I told them to suck it. A few months back I went online to sign up and they said they required no deposit and I get free NFL Ticket.....idiots!

they better hold on to that monopoly for dear life because the minute cable gets the ticket i am gone---sick of losing the signal whenever it gets cloudy

Right, berk. I don't have the lost signal problem but as John Lennon used to say, "I tired of being f_cked by rich men sittin' on their fat arses in the City."

Wow. This is unheard of.....I just got this email.
