Sports Season Ticket
"Get the full range of sports with your Big Bundles
We think live sport is better with Virgin Media, especially when you can save over 40% on Sky Sports and watch every Barclays Premier League game live this season. Take our new Sports Season Ticket and you’ll get the full range of sporting favourites: all 6 Sky Sports channels with 2 available in HD – plus BT Sport, ESPN and Eurosport, also available in HD. All you have to do is add a 10-month Sports Season Ticket for £150 upfront to any of our Big Bundles. Or add Sky Sports to your bundle from £27.25 a month." https://my.virginmedia.com/customer-...on-ticket.html Whilst this sounds a good deal it also appears to read that the HD bundle is also included in the price as obviously Sky Sports 1&2 are the only ones currently available. Is this correct? £150 up front instead of the £27.25 monthly sub plus the £7 HD sub? |

Just phoned CS
If I want the deal it is £150 for 10 months and £7 extra for HD per month. So it would be for me a saving of £122.50 for the 10 month season in SD. Here is it worked out
£27.25x10=272.50-£150(prepay)=£122.50. The HD sub will be required if you want the additional Sky sports channels launching soon. HD 1 and 2 may included did not ask about that. That is what I know. Will phone again when about to pay the pass and if any changes to this I will report here. |

Have you spoken to Virgin Media? Is the F1 channel not included? I noticed it wasn't named in the listing but assumed it was part of the "6 Sky Sports Channels".

Wow, £15 a month and covers just the football season. Looks like a good deal to me . . .

One thing that is interesting; Quote:
From mid-August, Virgin Media customers with Sky Sports can also enjoy all 6 Sky Sports channels on your PC, laptop through the Sky Sports website and also on iPad, iPhone and iPad touch with the free Sky Sports app.
So how will people log in to the Sky Sports app?

Looks like a good deal but want to see exactly if it includes the additional Sky Sports HD channels at no extra cost

very interested in this, does the 150 go on the next bill or do you pay it when you call up ?

Definitely doesn't include HD, that's still an extra £7, according to the chap I spoke to yesterday.

If you go online and select the bundle with the season ticket offer, you then have to opt to include the £7 monthly HD if you want it, so it is extra to the £150.

With the launch of the HD channels today perhaps it'll be easier to find out what 2 HD channels are included. Perhaps its Sky Sports F1 HD and Sky Sports News HD?

I had to pay on card. Would have preferred to pay on the next bill, but it's no heartache. I'm pleased with the deal to be honest, as I have moved onto the big kahuna deal, paying 50p less per month and had my BB increased to 152mb from 60mb! Factor in the cost of Sky Sports dropping from £27.50 to an equivalent cost of £15 it's a serious saving. Very rare you get such a good saving and improve your package at the same time.

Not according to the two people I spoke to yesterday. When I asked if I could cancel Sky Sports and then take the season ticket I was told that I'd lose my current discounts which are (allegedly) worth £44.75 a month (I s**t you not!). I was completely baffled by the end of the call tbh.
So after two long phone calls with different sales reps,I gave up and decided to leave things as they are for now, I may even ditch Sky sports altogether after glancing through the upcoming fixtures. |

I don't understand why taking the offer would mean losing any loyalty discounts?
Are you on the big khauna or big daddy bundle? |

Are you on the big khauna or big daddy bundle? Someone on another forum suggested that I cancel my current Sky sports subscription and then try for the season ticket again. I may try doing that when my poor frazzled brain recovers from yesterday's prolonged and confusing phone calls with the virgin media sales reps. |
