    SO I called and cancelled that sheit while the lockout was still on.

    Now I want it back, as you could imagine.

    I remember some people talking about how you can get it for half price or something... any ideas you can throw my way on how I could accomplish getting a few bucks off?

    Some how.. I got it free for this season. We suspended our DirecTV account while staying with the wife's grandmother for a month and half. She called last week..to get it moved, and started back up..and they gave us NFL SUnday Ticket for free. Lol. Who am I to complain?

    usually if you get rather pissy with with directv and make solid threats about moving to dishnetwork they cave in and give you what you want

    Sign up as a "new customer" and you get the Ticket free this year.

    Got it free last year. lol. And I'd play the ol' cancellation card if I could but I'm still under contract.

    I'm in the process of moving, and they gave it to me for free in my new home.

    Tell'em the cable company is going to buy you out of your contract. Used that all the time when I still had DTV.

    Yeah? Maybe I'll play that angle. Thanks!

    $400 seems freaking insane to me.

    Online it says I still have it. Not sure if that is left over from last year or what. I'll do a little more digging.

    If I did work for them, you can bet I wouldn't be posting on a popular messaging board asking the masses how to swindle my company to get free DirecTV! Considering all newcomers get it free for a year anyways...

    I actually remember some of you peeps saying how to get the discount. Prob shoulda searched for that thread, but the last piece of advice from Mush was money.

    All in jest my friend....my pc crapped out in the middle of me posting. Wherever I was going with that got lost in a blue screen of death. So do your thing, get it for free if you can. And if there is a way? Preach it loud for everyone to hear because the NFL package is as perfect as it can get for a football fan.

    Well your length of contract should be your biggest weapon. Tell'em your cable company is going to give you the premium movie channels for free for an entire year. If you get those channels free it will offset the charge of the Ticket. Gotta be an butthole sometimes.

    :beerchug:
    I will likely end up paying for it if I have to. I mean come on now... having tasted the deliciousness that is Sunday Ticket, enjoying all 16 games of my beloved Eagles, I could never miss it now.

    Sports bars end up being more expensive in the long run IMO with the way they jack beer up and food.

    Apparently, if you move .. you get it free? Maybe because its set up "new" at a new household? I'm not sure. Nonetheless, good luck with a discount .. or free.
