RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal Yet another reason for the Government to look at the Sky monopoly. We also have paid through the nose to try and be exclusive only for others to get PremPlus for free or use foriegn systems. Maybe if I used the foriegn system it would work out cheaper in the end! It appears to me that Sky don't want business customers only domestic ones. Michael Kheng This post replies to this thread |

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal I had Prem Plus up until the end of last season then I was asked for over a £1000 + VAT for this current season , I have just had an offer of £500 +VAT for the rest of the Season .
There are so many offering Football through other means now that competion is too feirce for me to take on prem plus I can hardly make Sky pay. When the Smoking Ban arrives Sky will profit from more users watching at home Ask them if business has increased in Scotland and Ireland, The supermarkets will benefit from increased cheap booze sales and the publican will be told we didn't try hard enough. Ah well it will be a saving on those extortionate Gas and electric bills we have all seen recently.
Have A good Christmas enjoy the business. This post replies to this thread |

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal I am disgusted by this. I run 2 units in 1 building, both have prem plus and I pay both at £900 + VAT each. Why should new commers reap the benifits of the freebie channel whilst I have to bite the bullet and pay up just to stay competitive? I have never been offered any incentive to stay with Sky, and will now seriously consider paying out next season. This post replies to this thread |

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal I am fed up with Sky, even now no promotional material for December, and it's costing and arm and a leg, no wonder they are losing out to foreign channels. This post replies to this thread |

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal Sky simply is not worth the money. I visit many pubs in my various activities and I see pubs with thousands of pounds worth of hi-tech equipment, blazing out music or sport with a handful of customers. I recent watched the Rugby in a bar with a capacity of several hundred. It's the only one of the three bars in the village that has Sky. I was honestly the only one watching it for the first half, and was joined by one other man for the second. Ditch it, Sky will not care but you could put the money to better use.

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal The maths is quite simple. For every £1 you spend on entertainment, that has to generate an extra £3 in revenue - not total revenue, extra revenue. If you spend £1700 pounds on Sky, that has to bring in and extra £5,100 per year, say £100 for rounding off. Does your Sky T.V. generate and extra £100 each and every week of the year? Some weeks it will, but every , week? If it does, then it may be worthwhile. If not, it's cheaper not to have it - you might also save some extra costs into the bargain!

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal FREE PREM PLUS? This is an outrage! I don't subcribe to prem plus because only a handfull of matches are worth having, tommorows being one of them (arsenal v spurs), if it was free though surely all publicans would subcribe. I signed up to sky last January for £511 a month, this has now risen to £575 a month. Inflation!!! I was never offered anything free. Only now have i been offered prem plus for the rest of the season at half price of £895. Which is still an insult. I am now considering a foreign system, the costs are far more reasonable & i believe as more people leave sky they will have to indroduce offers or reductions or will be forced to concentrate on personal household packages. Lets break this unfair crippling monopoly they have. Matt Stocker This post replies to this thread |

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal Why is this issue still being debated by licensees, the maths are simple as has been pointed out. Unless your income stream brings you in 3 times what a normal non Sky night would do then ditch it. It's not rocket science. Next year Sky for traditional pubs will be the least of your problems. www.freedom2choose.co.uk This post replies to matthew stocker > RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal |

RE: Sky offers free Premplus deal This has always been my argument, I'd had SKY for 2 years paying £500 + a month for my small pub, where ALL my fellow licensees were paying £150 a year!! for ART, Sky kept telling me how illegal it was and promised it would stop, November 06 the SKY rep came to me with a list of the pubs showing ART in our town, and that prosecutions were imminent and to bear with them. When July Came, they slipped up and kept badgering me with mailshots telling me to join SKY and get August and July for free inc Foot + !! I said that as an existing customer who had just lost £12,000 over the last 2 years compared to rivals that had MORE games, and nobody had even received a visit from MPS, I said it was disgusting and asked for £100 discount off the football + to which I was told you get no offers unless you leave us for 6 months, So I told them politely to stick it where the sun doesn't shine!!!! They have no idea how to treat or keep customers and I was and still am disgusted by them, This post replies to this thread |
