Old guy Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I was in Germany for the FIFA 2014 WC and trust me it wasn't that ridiculous - 99 CND$ for a final. :giggle: I will be traveling for some days during the WC and might opt for the Star Sport subscription itself. In fact, I may not even go for a TV subscription for Star Sports for February. Oh I know this beyond ridiculous but my point was we have cheapest service in world and people here should use it if possible :p Germany actually is one of better country for this stuff .
bulbul Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I was in Germany for the FIFA 2014 WC and trust me it wasn't that ridiculous - 99 CND$ for a final. :giggle: I will be traveling for some days during the WC and might opt for the Star Sport subscription itself. In fact, I may not even go for a TV subscription for Star Sports for February. Subscription rate not yet announced right? Carlton Mid tri series itself costs 120rs so WC must be over 1000rs. If they retain Monthly sports subscription of 300 we can use the loop hole, but I guess they will exclude WC from it :--D
rahulrulezz Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 For Canadian folks, it allows upto 4 ppl to watch it online. I need 3 fellow Mounties to chip in. It will just come out to be roughly $50 for the whole cup.
jf1gp_1 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 whats the point we will win against minnows loss against test sides make it to qf and then loss; is this really what you want to watch ?
fineleg Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Dhawan, Raydu, Rahane batting in ODI is priceless. Ind bowling priceless.
Zap_Brannigan Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 In the UK, to watch any cricket, we have to pay a minimum of 55 pounds for a minimum tv channel bundle and the sky sports bundle with HD. I've been paying this for years. The Canadian package is still less than 2 months of cricket on sky in the UK.

Dont know if the USA does have bundles. I am with virgin media and pay about £60 a month for sky bundle + upto 152 mb broadband and evening and weekend calls to 01/02 numbers free + XL tv package. + included those phone rental changes. Its unfair on those who just want to watch cricket. But if you have a family with different interests it works out.
veer Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 shoot... my fear is coming true. 3-4 months back, there was a survey from cricinfo on how i saw my last world cup and how much i am willing to pay to watch entire world cup and so on and on.. freak, i knew this was coming.
Texan Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Damn!!! Is ESPN3 really going to charge a fee to watch the matches? That's too bad cos if matches are day-night, most matches will take place through the night here in most US time zones.

There are bundles in The U.S., but the World Cup would still be an additional charge because cricket will not be covered by any of the sports channels in their regular programming. There are some Indian channel bundles that offer Willow Tv, but apparently Willow isn't telecasting the World Cup.
Cricketics Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 shoot... my fear is coming true. 3-4 months back, there was a survey from cricinfo on how i saw my last world cup and how much i am willing to pay to watch entire world cup and so on and on.. freak, i knew this was coming. I remember doing that survey and was kind of perplexed because they had promised that they will be showing all ICC Events along with Wc 2015. They did show the Champions Trophy last year though. This whole pricing rise reminds me of back in the days in 2004-05 when it all started and how the online streams got popular as the tv subscriptiosn from Dish Networks were very high. As much as 120 bucks per series.

kosingh Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Talking of WC telecast.....Amitabh Bachchan will be doing live commentary during India-Pak match. John Abraham tried commentary during the first game of the soccer World Cup. Made a fool of himself.
Crookbond Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Oh I know this beyond ridiculous but my point was we have cheapest service in world and people here should use it if possible :p Germany actually is one of better country for this stuff . More than half of Youtube videos are blocked in Germany. If you torrent, rest assured that you will get a visit from the police. One of my friend (German citizen) was fined 800 EUR for downloading around 500-600GB of content. He's stupid though, shouldn't have done that but he got greedy.
