I want to have this but I don't think this price is at all fair for what they are offering.

I am with you. Besides, if I am watching 49er football, I don't flip the channels, so I am paying for all those other games, but not watching em.

Yeah I would like a better price for just 49ers games. But all of them. Not just some. Including TNF, MNF, Saturday late in season games. Everything included and just 49ers for a better price would be better IMO.

I like the southern CA weather and like to go to the beach and surf occasionally.

I had Sunday Ticket on Directv from the first season they started it. I loved it and was always able to get a better price or a deal on some of the other services to offset the cost. I usually ended up paying $200 or less for the season. One year they knocked off $15 month on my regular service and threw in HBO and Showtime for free for an entire year. That essentially gave me the Sunday Ticket for free.

I'm not going to subscribe anymore. I don't want You Tube so I would pay the full price and it's not worth it to me. Five games are on Thursday, Sunday night or Monday so I'll see those. There may be a couple of others shown on my local channel. I'll watch the others on replay on NFL Network. If enough people refused to sign up for this then they would drop the prices. As long as people are willing to pay then they'll keep gouging us.

I heard the at least one playoff game is going to be on a streaming service too. One more step toward making the playoffs an entire pay per view event.

Yup, me too. I have been getting Sunday Ticket for decades.....even before digital TV's when i had to go pick up the digital box to plug into my TV to get the signal. But they are getting too greedy now....so I'm no longer paying that. I'll watch the games on NFL Network the day after, and watch any game that is on regular cable. Hope the NFL viewership drops significantly but I doubt that it will. Oh well......guess I'll be having a lot more Sunday free time for other things now.

They are gouging. $349 for just Sunday 10 am and 1 pm games. LOL. What? Personally I think that's worth about $150. I want to have this and while it really wouldn't break me I feel the price is outrageous for what they are offering. Like I said I get multiple just sitting on my couch anyway. Some are MNF, prime time games, televised games in the CA market even if you are out of the Bay Area. I probably get 10 / 17 just sitting in my place. So for 7 games almost $350 and just Sunday games only at 10 am and 1 pm. Something just doesn't sit right about that. Maybe a sports bar or replay games on NFL Game Pass (used to be called NFL Rewind I think). It just bothers me a lot to pay this much although it would be cool to get the games streaming in my home.

To be honest I like Redzone more than Ticket. I stream it on Sling, think it's about $35 a month and then cancel it at the end of the season. The only games that I have to watch are 49ers games and I'm fortunate enough to be in an area that I get to watch all their games on regular television.

That brings up another issue. It varies from one place to another but streaming is often poor in some areas. Freezes and rebuffering are annoying. The other issue is it's difficult to switch back and forth from a streaming channel and a regualr televised channel. I hate sitting through all the commercials that are repeated over and over so I often switch during the breaks. I'll probably just listen to the radio broadcast and then watch the replays on NFL Network. I feel like we're going backwards to the days when only road games were televised.

I'm reluctant to give up Directv and go all streaming because of the poor quality and the prices would actually be more than what I pay now if I got all the channels I watch. I get NBC Sports Bay Area which gives me all the Warriors, Kings and Giants games. I haven't found any streaming app that will do that. I also get the Mariners games, SEC, ACC and Big10 networks for college football. This is a hard combination to find on any single streaming app and NBC Sports Bay Area doesn't seem to be available at all. I"ll hang in with Directv as long as they survive. That may not be for long.

Bottom line is they're making it harder and more expensive to view games. I hope the plan to stream one of the playoff games falls flat or we'll be paying extra for all of those in the future.

The price is not completely unreasonable and I bet the picture streaming quality will be off the charts.

I'll stick to free streaming with puffer

Does it work with Apple?

good thing ya boy T Starks has those links.

AINT THAT RIGHT BOAH

You can watch the for free, but the reliability of Sunday Ticket is something I won't be able resist. $349 is about what you'd pay for it when it was Direct TV, isn't it?

Depends, I was able to get it free most of the time, I think the last 5 seasons were free as a loyal customer or something like that, but the Max with RZC was around the $349 I think.

By "free" I meant the five finger discount.

I ordered the ticket + redzone and it came to $311 after taxes, fees, etc. seems like a no brainer.

I'm with you Ottawa... but.. I can't see myself NOT watching the 49ers live !! the fee for all the years I've paid for, I just look at it as my PERSONAL GIFT to myself..
