Anyone offered Setanta deals recently?

gtg60

My current deal ends soon and I doubt they'll be offering the €2.99 a month deals now, especially with the Premier League 'round the corner so just looking to hear who's been offered what recently?

Need to know what to aim for!

I cancelled through their "Contact Us" page on their website. No reply , except when I checked my email, there was a non-delivery report to Setanta. I left it for a couple of days & then rang CS. I had been on their €5 rate for 6 months. Agent offered a further 3 months at the same rate. I declined and asked what email address should I report the non-delivery to. He gave me that and advised that I should send a copy of the non-delivery report in that email. Sent it a week ago.Have heard nothing since.I guess you will get the €5 offer as well.

am on the 5euro offer too... i would say nearly 90% of their subscribers are on the 5euro offer. how anyone would pay 16.95 a month is beyond me...

just been on to them to cancel subscription ... offered €9/month first then €5/month for three months ... still cancelled though ... can't see them surviving on current offering ... losing the rugby v bad news for them!

I was with setanta for most of last season, got sick of them because they werent showing us much, and the last 3 months i was paying 5 euro, so when that ended i cancelled..

Got a phone call of them today, offering me setanta back for the new season, he was able to tell me it was a great victory for liverpool last night and he was able to tell me liverpool would be on alot this year on setanta..He must of known i was a liverpool fan..He offered me setanta back with no re-connection fee(I think its usually 15 euro or so to get reconnected) and setanta for €3.90 a week, less that the price of a pint he put it..But that works out at nearly 16 a month, which isnt much cheaper..

He told me they had all their games back of espn, also had all the Europa league games and also had the FA Cup games..

I told id get back to him in a few days, and i also said my Sky was gone, but he claimed i could still get the station in...Has any one got it any cheaper???

Kristopherus

I think he told you a few whoopsies. This is from their website.

Remember - Setanta’s Premier League coverage regularly includes action featuring the Top Four clubs which will be music to the ears of Irish supporters. Lots of Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea games are a certainty and fans of Everton, Villa and Spurs won’t be disappointed either.

Sounds just like the guy I was talking to last week.
I have been on the 5 euro a month discount for the last 9 months but it expires at the end of this month.
I rang up to cancel and they guy I was speaking to was the biggest spoofer ever.
He told me that Setanta had more sport than Sky !
Said they were showing more soccer and rugby !
I said I worked Saturday afternoons so missed the 3pm matches .He then said that Setanta showed EPL matches on a Sunday and that they would be showing USPGA golf later this year.
The guy hadnt a clue ,talking through his arse.Madness,I had a good laugh with him .
He said because the English soccer season had started he couldnt offer me the 5 euro a month deal,so he offered me 9.99 a month for 3 months ,then 7.50 a month for 3 months ,which I reluctantly took as I have to give them 30 days notice of cancellation so I'll pay 1 month at 7.50 then thats it.

Setanta are not showing Liverpool V West Brom this saturday.

Kristopherus

That list was copied & pasted from their website. I'm guessing the website is like some of their CS agents as described in above posts:D

Cantona's Collars

Setanta showing Chelsea v Stoke on Saturday-update from my end of 5 euro a month deal,it expired 3 weeks ago,rang em and yer man in cs told me no deals available as a lot of people were subscribing,after a few minutes I got it for 9.99 p.m - he was adamant that I would have to pay 16.99,told him it wasn't worth it as I only watch Prem Lge.To be fair he seemed well informed about their content and didn't try to spoof me.Got 9.99 and he wouldn't go any lower,for the amount of football I watch I'm happy enough to pay that-price of couple of pints.

gtg60

Got it for €7.50 a month for 3 months myself this time, guy even said set a reminder on my phone to ring 31 days before it's up and look for new deal which was fair enough!
Been well worth having Setanta this year, got 3 months free with An post, then a good few months at €5 and now €7.50 a month, I reckon if I'd have 'pretended to cancel' before the footie started I'd have got more at €5 a month!

Best thing is I have 2 cards in boxes that don't need to be connected to the same phone line!

channelsurfer2

reminds me I must cancel mine next week... .anyway I would wonder how many are actually paying 16.99 a month. do they set it that high and then give you it for 7.50 etc knowing full well thats a more realistic price and that 90% of their subscribers are not paying anywhere near full price?
the fa cup scenario will be very interesting. I wonder did ESPN fail to pick up the irish rights to the uk matches they are showing on ESPN and thats how Setanta claim to be showing up to 40 fa cup matches next year.

mike tv . sports

i didn't think i'd go back to setanta but espn are down to 23 falpl games this year. they are monday nnight games but the problem with them is that the monday games are only good for the first couple of weeks. if i can get a setanta deal then i'm swapping espn for setanta. 5 man u game in oct/nov

greenman09

Sure sky have relaunched monday night football. Wi all their gadgets. Dont think they will relinquish any monday games. Espn have shown sat evening and a sunday game at the mo. On another note setanta last payment out few days ago. Have cancelled with them. When tryin to keep me they sai man u on 2nd wee in sept. According to lists above they not on til oct. Dont think i'd miss it now wither.

thebox

setanta only have the 3pm saturday games

mike tv . sports

They are doing a 3 months at 9.99 offer but better still . . . .

They have a reader offer in the sun starting today. you collect three tokens and call them up and get 2 or 3 months free.
on UPC you get 3 months free and on satelite you get two months free setanta but you have to pay a €5 connection fee. pretty good. little birdie tells me you don't even have to collect the tokens, just ring them and ask for the sun offer and they give it to you as long as you are not a subscriber already. not bad.

Tarabuses

Heavens, if there is anything worse than Setanta it's the sun. Good bedfellows.

iseethelight

Just rang to cancel, their now doing 3 months at 7.50 a month I'll keep it for that.

Minstrel27

It is quite obvious that Setanta are doing quite poorly with satellite subscribers as they seem to have a different offer every second week.

I am curious. Do you work for Setanta Sports?

Does anyone have the codes from the Sun. I have Tuesdays but am looking for another 1 or 2. I can get Wednesdays tomorrow. Any Help?

Odds are you won't even be asked if you ring up, I wasn't when I availed of the An Post deal at the beginning of the year...

Thats 6 codes, I thought they only started the offer in the sun last weekend, thats less than 6 days ago

Do you have tonights lotto numbers too :rolleyes:

greendom

I called to cancel a couple of weeks ago. Got a call from them yesterday - (contract ends next week) and they offered me 3 months at 5 euro a pop.

medelina

anyone know of any setanta offers at the moment? want to get it in - any idea what price I should be able to get it for? just wondering so I can keep haggling if I think they'll go lower

medelina

just rang them and the best they could do was the standard E16.99 p/m with a E14.99 connection fee. they told me there's no offers at the moment. no way I'm signing up for that....it'll be down to my local for any of the matches I want to watch on it

It's renewals that get the deals, you always have to pay the full amount on start-up UNLESS you get one on the trial offers that occasionally come along, the recent one was from the Sun, see a few posts up.

Just rang again today and got my next 3 months for €7.50 (for the 2 cards) again, that's the highest I've ever paid, sometimes I get the €5 deal too!

medelina

ok, so that's why there wasn't an offer. I only got sky in this week, so I was too late for the sun offer. you would think it would make sense for them to make me a more reasonable offer considering I was on the phone and ready to sign up - surely a new sign ups money is as good as anyone else's

If you go to them they know you want it! Ringing and pretending to cancel means they'll do anything (within reason) to keep you!

If you sign up at Setanta.com using the promo code ROONEY before 3pm tomorrow you will get 2 months Setanta for €5. No contract so you can cancel when you like but you must give 30 days notice. So if you only want it for 2 months you call them in 30 days and give your notice to cancel. Otherwise after 2 months the price reverts to 16.99pm.

Have you a link for that offer? I cannot find it on their website.

Sorry, Denis. Only online now, so I presume the offer is gone.
