You could remove Sky Sports now. Wait about a week then phone for the offer. That is if you are not interested in what is on at the moment on SS. I would do it from add remove channels from your box instead of using the phone. I do second this to the suggestion.

Can someone clarify what happens at the end of the 10 month season ticket?
Does it cancel immediately, automatically run on to the monthly subscription charge? Are you stuck with it for 12 months and unable to cancel etc? |

I don't know what will happen automatically at the end, but Sky Sports with Virgin is only 30 day subscription, so give yourself a reminder to give Virgin a call just before the end of the 10 months and then ask to cancel. Simple. You are not tied into a 12 month deal.

As ever despite it being in black and white things are never completely clear (what happened to the 2 HD channels included in the original text). As I said I would have also assumed the original point, but always nice to have things completely clear. I don't mind whatever the answer, just like to know what I'm signing up too. |

I thought the actual 'contract' part of 12 months applied to the Big Kahuna bundle only, as Sky Sports is an optional extra that can be cancelled whenever you see fit.

No.
Also it appears you need to be on one of their 'big bundle' packages. I'm hoping that Mates Rates counts as a big bundle as from what I hear it's pretty much the same price.

You're not eligible for the Season pass with mates rates unfortunately
![]() From what i'm hearing the new big bundle offers are similar prices to mates rates so if it comes down to it i'll see if I can switch. The only issue of that of course is they won't be guaranteed long term (though mates rates went up a huge amount in a short period of time). I'd like to say that I could play VM and Sky off against each other but i'm not dropping down broadband speed for all the money in the world. |

bt sports on virgin....sky sports on sky If you really need the top rate phone, the Big Daddy Bundle would have been cheaper especially if you took line rental saver and the sports season ticket. |

Pretty sure you could have had a cheaper deal with Virgin, mates rates or not.
If you really need the top rate phone, the Big Daddy Bundle would have been cheaper especially if you took line rental saver and the sports season ticket. I currently pay £53.74 a month for XL TV, 100mb Broadband and M Phone. If I wanted to get sky sports for the 10 months the football is on that's £27.75 a month x 10. So altogether that's £922.38 a year. The big kahuna bundle would give me XL TV, 152mb Broadband and weekend calls for £60.99 a month. I could then add the season pass for £150 for those 10 months. Altogether i'd be paying £881.88 a year. So much for mates rate. . . . though in my case the broadband speed is irrelevant as I can only get 40mb over wifi and I never use my home phone. |

Not sure why you're looking at it so negatively, "mates rates" is a privilege not a right and the Big Khauna and sports ticket looks an excellent offer. |

Certainly a better annual cost than Pluto who I was quoting. His annual fee paying Sky and Virgin is well over £1000 a year.
Not sure why you're looking at it so negatively, "mates rates" is a privilege not a right and the Big Khauna and sports ticket looks an excellent offer. Also I just wanted to point out that mates rates isn't anything special now, it's just a slightly cheaper version of one of their big bundles. |

I didn't mean to come across negative - just a little annoyed that I can't take advantage of the season ticket whilst on mates rate.

re
my savings on mate rates are £11 a month.
so x10 months = £110 then add the £150 for the season ticket = £330 inc hd... by staying on mate rates it would cost me £357 inc hd...with sky half price for 10 months its cost me £340 inc hd. |

How much would they likely quote me to go onto their Big Kahuna, if I then need a total of 4 boxes (1 Tivo, one v+ and two normals)
I have that already, with 100mb broadband and m phone for £65.75 a month |
