FA Cup PPV Games

[NYC_nigel]

Does anyone have any information on these games? Is the only option $20 per game or will there be package for all the PPV games this season? Anyone got a link or knows the information?

[OrientFan]

I paid 99 bucks last season for the package-well worth it
Im hoping for the same this year

15.95 on Dish, and no offer of a package for all the games.

At least you have the option of seeing the games on delayed broadcast on FSC:

Tue, January 9 -3pm ET: Liverpool v. Arsenal

Wed, January 10 - 5pm ET: Manchester United v. Aston Villa

Interesting twist to the PPV games via Dish.

if you go to their website and try to order the Liverpool game they only have the 6pm "replay" available for order. Still $15.95.

So what's Dish's game here?
Are they capping the number of viewers who can watch it live, or are they trying to get people to call in and order the live feed via phone so they can charge them a dollar or two for the pleasure of talking to a cs rep?

Either way is rediculous but not unheard of.

**update** on the phone with Dish CS right now. The nice woman with a foreign accent can't find either match listed, but she's claiming that PPV is available for almost every other match this weekend. So they forward me on to Stephen, whi is in the States.
He sees the mistake on the website, and is going to waive the $1 phone order fee.

One more thing...he's just told me that on Feb. 1st Dish is going to offer a "Soccer package", which will allow me to order all the FA Cup matches for one fee as well as some other events....and then the bastard hung up on me.

We need to kill off soccer PPV as quickly as possible.

Agreed. Not likely though.

Anybody else see a large cut in the price of these games for the next round. I have comcast and the price was 15.95+taxes. Now the screen shows:
ManU-Pompey 9.95
Arsenal-Bolton 6.99
:confused:

Well, this would be nice. As of last night, the Man U match shows up on Detroit-area Comcast but the Arsenal match does not. On the other hand, the Man U - Villa match in the previous round was a late addition to the PPV menu, so I'm hopeful -- both that it shows up and that it is $7.

Bad news. I checked again and they fixed the price. It is back to the standard 15.95+fees/taxes just like its been for awhile. Oh well it must have been a mistake.
