got the same price myself 2days ago dont think there budging one price at the moment.

They probably won't be doing any deals at the minute with the Mcgregor fight coming up next month. They'll want as many full subscriptions as possible

andrew1977

I cancelled my subscription 1 month ago, was on the 9.99 a month offer for about 9 months.
Normally I would get a call a couple of days before the viewing would be cut off offering me a deal. Nothing came.
So my viewing is now gone, I mailed them to see if any offer, replied back with no offer.

Its a bit of a stupid business model given how easy it is to stream it. Would be wiser to try and maintain their current customer base instead of losing them.

Anyone get any offer from Virgin Media(UPC) when they go to cancel? Paying €20 a month and rarely use the service and thinking I will cancel.

I got BT/Setanta free for 2 months (I wont keep it on past that) when I recently signed up for another 1 yr TV/Bband/Phone contract

i only renewed it for the McGregor fight,if you had to buy the pay per view pass on ufc would be costing 20e just for the fight so 16.99 aint to bad for a month of viewing if ya look at it like that.

Not if I don't watch UFC
Only have it for the soccer and there is an international break after I get cut off

I've been getting the €12.99 per month for about a year now.

Got a bill for €25 so I cancelled and they only offered the €16.99 X 2 month deal or €200 for the year. So I won't be going back.

For the UFC just don't look at your phone and get it online the next morning.

bungaro79

got the same offer of 16.99 after being on 12.99 for ages. told them i'm off to sky so we'll see if they come back with anything. with the ufc on 3e a day later and the 3pm saturday games are gone now from next season too i won't be paying

mdwexford

I was paying 12.99 for the last while.

Rang to cancel the other day and she offered me 16.99.
I said no thanks and she came back and offered me 9.99 for one month.

Maybe play hard ball and see what they say?

Was the €1 only available as a once off to new customers, did anyone ever get it again?

What's this about 3pm games gone? are they going to sky, i can only assume they're only gonna show in Irl only?

Yeah, Setanta/BT will lose a lot of customers. Sky will have up to 6 premier league matches a week, I think. The Setanta sports pack will be down to 1.

I recently spoke to Setanta when cancelling, and they really couldn't give me any decent reason to stay. I said I watched football and F1, but had gone off F1 the last couple of seasons. They couldn't even say if they will have F1, and it starts next month....

Or you could just stream it live

Just received an email there from Setanta offering €14.99 for 2 months. Online signup, use promo code "UFC!"

The mail I got offered it for 19.99 for month 1, minimum contract 2 months .Second month charged at full price of 25 euro,so effectively 40 euro for 2 months.
Or am I mistaken?

I agree, I had it for 9.99 a month for ages, got it cut off couple of weeks back after they wanted to increase my subscription.
No thank you setanta.

I was paying 12.99 a month for last 8 months, used to call up to cancel every 2 months and get same deal extended

Called at beginning off February to cancel and instead off extending the deal at 12.99 they said it wasn't available so would only offer 19.99, so cancelled

Then this morning I get a call from them, 3 weeks after my call to cancel where they offered me 9.99 for 2 months

interesting
I cancelled 2 weeks ago
I'd take 9.99 to get me to end of season

From a long time ago I made it plain to them that I wouldnt pay more than a tenner a month and they would be wasting their time contacting me if they were looking for more. So for the last couple of years I would email them every 2 months to cancel and get an acknowledgement back offering me another 2 months at €12.99 which I would ignore. Then, about a week before I'd be due to be cut off, they would ring me and offer €9.99 for 2 months which I take. And the cycle goes on.

Strange one this time as I gave my cancellation notice about a week ago and then got an email offering me 2 months at €16.99 which is €4 more than their normal "first offer". It will be interesting to see what they offer when the call me in about 3 weeks time.......I'm assuming they will call anyhow.

I'll keep you posted.

How much are people paying for setanta on Virgin?

I used to be with Sky on the 9.99 deal but you can't negotiate with Setanta directly on Virgin.

Captain Don Thorpe

They wouldn't offer me the same deal to continue paying €12.99 a month ago so I cancelled and they cut me off today (three days early). No deals offered in the meantime.

its free in the package, watched the game last night in HD

Sparkles2012

I emailed them about offers and they just quoted the offers from the website at me. I rang them and was offered €169.00 for the year.

mdwexford

I rang to cancel the other day after being on 12.99 for the last while.

She offered me 16.99 and I said no thanks.

Went away for a second and then offered me 12.99 for 4 months so I took that.
