MrBeanti Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 So now we know what the cost of the stream is, but we do not yet know the quality of the product. Only after the fact will we know whether or not this is too expensive or not, and this will depend on camera quality, audio quality, commentary etc. I am happy to pay more for a quality product but time will tell...

I think you are long way off, the cost of riders wages in Poland is tenfold to the UK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but average working wages are far lower, hence my area being packed with Poles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think i am,as another poster has said why do you think many Poles come here to work.We earn 3 times as much as they do back home.Prices in their everyday life back home will have to reflect in what they earn if they want to fill stadiums,cinemas food etc. If you go to places like Finland and Sweden it would be the other way around and you would feel it's to expensive as they earn more.When i was younger i felt i was being ripped off when i went to Gothenburg until i learnt about how much the people earnt there.

Super Blue Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm sure there will be much debate about the cost to stream the meeting, the quality of the line-up and will moan afterwards about the racing if they do pay. For me I'll happily pay to watch the meeting live for £20 but I wouldn't pay £12-95 to stream it. Half my enjoyment of speedway is all about seeing it live and in person and I'm fortunately one of the lucky ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 £20 for those fortunate enough to have confirmed tickets to attend. Fine. £12.95 for streaming without full broadcast quality pictures, on-screen talent and production. Total rip off. Calling it a British Final .... Laughing stock.

I am also one of the lucky ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 It would seem as usual the Bspa are scoring an own goal with that pricing. Having said that,,, as usual,,, I don't suppose they really give a monkeys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Disney are charging £20 to watch Mulan and that's on top of the subscription for the Disney channel, I suppose the going rate is what people will pay to watch it, personally I wouldn't pay that much to watch as a one off... Fortunately I've had my ticket confirmation through though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Again, just a comparison. Premier Sports is as standard £11.99 per month which includes about 16 Polish matches a month aswell as 4 Swedish matches. 20 matches in total. Yet the 'British Championship' is more than that for a single meeting. What an absolute shambles that is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Let's just hope we don't have a massive downturn in weather between now and the 26th. Having gone through the is it or isn't it on, how many are allowed and do I or don't I have tickets bad weather would be the last straw for this year.

Just playing Devils advocate here but; streaming company says to BSPA it's going to cost £xxxx . BSPA think how many will pay. Hence silly price. Rather than go if we stream it cheap more May watch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
