How many people I wonder are being put off and deterred from ordering Wrestlemania 29 as a result of an increase in PPV price from £14.95 to £17.95. I think a £3. increase is way over the top. I know I will think twice about it.
As noted last week, the WrestleMania 29 pay-per-view broadcast will carry a price increase this year, with the HD version selling for $69.99 and the SD version going for $59.99. So far, DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable have all confirmed the new pricing schedule.
It's a shame Sky Sports doesn't subsidise WWE PPVs as much as they used to. I think we only get 4 free PPVs now, whereas nearly all of them used to be free. Bit of a cheek when we have to pay a premium just to see RAW and SmackDown, unlike in the US.
well it only £52.75 a month just to watch WWE programming in HD on Sky so 'another' £17.95 for 2hrs of 'new' footage + 2hrs of repeat footage just to remind us of the 'storyline so far' , is just a small drop in the pond for a fan.;)

It costs me £24.12 a month to watch WWE programming in HD on Sky but that's "if" I choose to watch it I got 75% discount on my package which Sky gave me at Christmas.
These prices stem from WWE's investment into creating their own TV network in the states. Oh, and Linda McMahons failed senate race(again). In other words, they need the money.
Anyone else had problems trying to order this ?. 3 times I tried to set it up to record on SBO HD1 and all I get is a message telling me to phone Sky. We've never had this problem before when ordering PPV content.
They must be crazy, and they think we are too - this event is the premium event of the year but really 14.95 was too much, don;t fill their pockets - they must be empty after all his mrs spend around 50 Million $ on the last election did she not!
I ain;t paying for that again - nor a rubber sledge hammer! or a half cut table to slam someone into
Blame WWE. To make up for the decline in buys in the US they are turning more and more countries to PPV.
£18 is still a lot cheaper than the US. Don't buy it and send the message.
What irks me is Sky have the streaming rights but do nothing with them so you can't watch legally on the Internet even if you wanted to. No stream on WWE.com or the app in this country because of Sky.
This is getting so annoying, I know we are a lot cheaper than the US but I pay Sky Sports just for WWE as I don't watch anything else on them, so I have to pay £21 for that and then the PPV on top. Also why do we pay £21 a month for sports channels and then have adverts on them too ? Talk about a cheek. I can understand on Raw as it is live, but on pre-recorded shows ? Yes I pay it, so I am a mug as this is why they do it, but you don't get ads on the HBO pay channels in the US.
The free PPVs seem to be getting less and less, or that is how it seems anyway. Also why no repeats in HD ? I have had Sky box problems before where either weather or satellite stuttering has ruined a recording, yet I am stuffed if I find the recording crap, as that is the only HD view. They have a whole HD box office channel they can show it repeated on.

Typical sky trying to pick your pocket to get a few extra quid from you.
WWE dictate the pricing, not Sky. Typical mis-informed information filling our pockets full of zilch.
1. If everyone did that then there would be nothing for you to download because events like Wrestlemania wouldn't happen.
2. WWE set the price, not Sky.
not this year il just down load it... not paying that price
Thought the posts on here were intimating that Sky(UK) was actually the cheapest around ??
so thread turning into another 'Sky-pop' ?
$70 is the USA price for HD ($60 SD) ..... £46 / £40 UK prices

You're a bit out of touch. NewsCorp failed in its bid to buy BSkyB.
