Wasn't it £110 last year? I hope we get one of the sky games.

shmmeee · Aug 11, 2020

What a scummy company. Just have a cancel sub link or even better don’t auto renew.

Also 70% net? So they take costs and then 30% on top? Anyone know how much the club actually get?

samccov1987 · Aug 11, 2020

Just checked and I’ve had the same email.

£140 notes for the season - home and away games via Mr VPN.

Many teams in the championship do not use ifollow, so you may not get those games - may be worth checking

Yes think blues may be one of the teams who don’t. I’ve got Sky so will be able to watch a lot of midweek games on that.

Be interested what the season membership looks like when they’re announced. Will be a season ticket and one of Sky Sports or I Follow. Gets more and more expensive watching sport, BT Sport and the Champions League is already one subscription too much.

Nick · Aug 11, 2020

Yeah I've got it as well.

shmmeee · Aug 11, 2020

I’ve had nothing since this at the start of June

bradwellskyblues · Aug 11, 2020

Yes Bedworth via San Fransisco all courtesy of NordVPN

Woolly68 · Aug 11, 2020

I had my renewal email for a season pass and it is still £45.

bradwellskyblues · Aug 11, 2020

just had an e mail and the cost of mine is £45 that only gives you all radio commentaries i suspect any live to watch will be paid on top

Agree I just gave up the champions league on BT as too many games clashed with Coventry games I was attending or watching on Ifollow.

Would love a Coventry city channel but a little unrealistic.

I dont think they have updated things yet. So will have to wait and see. I feel the might swell try and show as many as possible other was VPN use will be massive with no fans in ground

I’d happily pay for a season ticket if it came with a streaming service, I can rarely get to games so make do with the ifollow commentary plus the odd stream on Facebook

Only about 5 do , but the only games you don't get is when both have club channels. As I advertise games and channels I get lots of calls from bars to see if a new game is available. This season shit loads for Leeds. I told them ifollow the other team or subscribe to Leeds own channel. As a side note 1 year in to the new Sky deal clubs are not happy as Leeds were shown 17 times, other clubs 4 or 5 .

From the offal:

All Season Passes will renew on the 1st of September ahead of the 2020/21 season
There is a price increase for the international products:
- International Season Passes will increase to the equivalent of £140
- International Monthly Passes will increase to £20 per month
Subscribers to those products will therefore be charged the new rates ahead of the new season.
There will be no increase to the price of iFollow Audio Products in the UK
We await confirmation on the pricing for UK Match passes for the coming season

Further updates will be provided in due course regarding iFollow for the 2020/21 season.

The price has gone up but am a bit concerned by how many matches will not be shown due to them being live on Sky. I don't really care about the price increase but in conjuction with the inconvenience of more matches being unavailable due to broadcasting rights, it'll be annoying.

Doesn't ifollow still show it abroad even if its on sky. So international will basically get all games ?

Must be my memory playing tricks then - I'm probably mixing it up with the FA Cup games. That made me feel like I lost a lot of matches last season because of needing replays with Ipswich, Bristol and Birmingham!

RegTheDonk · Aug 12, 2020

In the UK I'd imagine buying a season ticket (or season membership) would give you a match pass to iFollow for games behind closed doors.
Non season ticket holders could buy a per-game match pass.

Once crowds are allowed back, your season ticket or membership then just gets you in the ground and iFollow will revert to everyone paying for a per-game match pass when there's no restrictions (on Sat or on Sky).

Any games live on Sky are not shown on ifollow regardless of whether you are abroad or in the UK. Although they did show EFL Trophy games, other cup games are also not shown.

larry_david · Aug 12, 2020

My understanding is then that they don't know wtf is going on. I assume any games behind closed doors will be available to UK residents at a cost

Legia Sky Blue · Aug 12, 2020

It makes sense for the EFL/ FA to put a temporary halt to the ban on live games being shown in the UK that are played on Saturday afternoons while games are BCD, and clubs can't get any gate income. When fans go back then revert to the old regulations if that is what they want. Given the uncertainty over how long BCD games will continue, I think it unlikely a season pass would be open to UK subscribers, but instead match passes on a game by game basis until the BCD situation ends. To not do that would be a real case of football shooting itself in the foot.

Really fucks me off - I told them to cancel it and I’ll make my mind up in my own time.
As bad as insurance companies

You sure? I had foreign iFollow last season and I’m sure there were no missing games.

Sky only show a handful of L1 during int breaks. Show a lot more Championship so prob more fussed about the exclusivity. Also if it's foreign it's not competing with the domestic Sky deal.

Sky games are definitely not also shown on ifollow.
