    Hi, I posted this in the TV section, but i think it may be more of a consumer issue.... Sorry mod, if you want to merge you can...

    Ok, I didn't buy the premiership plus season ticket this year as i though i might be moving and getting sky etc, so i didn't bother.

    So I've ordered only 2 games this season so far. Didn't really want to watch the others really.

    Ok so on saturday morning I call NTL to get the Liverpool vs Everton game and the girl on the end of thel line informs me a few minutes later that it will cost €18 (usual price €11)...

    I thought it a bit strange and asked why. She then informed me that when 2 "big games" are on in a day that they come in a package, so I'd have to take the deal where i get the Boro vs Arsenal game later in the day as well. I told her that I didn't want the other game and that I didn't agree that the boro vs arsenal game was big and that I just wanted the Liverpool vs Everton game for €11 as I have got in the past.

    She then says that it is not possible and that they have been doing this for months. I told her that I ordered the reverse fixture in september and that I didn't have to do the same and that (in my opinion) the game that I had ordered last week (Wigan vs Everton) was a big game and i didn't have to buy another game with it!!!

    She basically said that if I didn't buy the 2 game package that I couldn't see the Liverpool vs Everton game...

    There has to be some sort of law broken here? I was forced to purchase something that I didn't want!!!!

    Anyone have any idea?
