Any idea when DTV is going to publish cricket ticket 2007 now that 2007 has come???

It will be great if the whole package including world cup is priced around 300USD.

The prices for the 2007 Cricket Ticket is :

$249 upfront or a 3 pay option of $83.33.

Just call and ask ! I did!

 

[quizzer]

Does it include the world cup as well???

what are the other series in that?

 

[Pink Fairy]

Here are the games they told me was included:

Australia vs. England/New Zealand
South Africa vs. Pakistan
New Zealand vs. Australia
Zimbabwe vs. Australia
Sri Lanka vs. Bangladesh
Zimbabwe vs. South Africa
Australia vs. Sri Lanka
South Africa vs. New Zealand
Zimbabwe vs. West Indies
South Africa vs. West Indies
Sri Lanka vs. England
Australia vs. New Zealand
Australia vs. India

They also said there was no Cricket Ticket India in 2007

And for each of those tours you can just pay for them.

And that was what I was told, you should call to verify it with someone else, always good to get a second opinion!

Oh - and the world cup is almost always played on National channels - the person couldn' t tell me if it was included. But I remember watching it last year on ESPN2 or something

Hahahaha

The World Cup is being shown by both DirecTV and Dish. It is a separate subscription. I prepaid for the WC along with the ICC trophy. I think that it is $200 by itself.

i saw from another post in satelliteguys that cricket ticket 2007 in DTV is 249.99USD and includes the World cup along with these series:

Australia vs. England/New Zealand
South Africa vs. Pakistan
New Zealand vs. Australia
Zimbabwe vs. Australia
Sri Lanka vs. Bangladesh
Zimbabwe vs. South Africa
Australia vs. Sri Lanka
South Africa vs. New Zealand
Zimbabwe vs. West Indies
South Africa vs. West Indies
Sri Lanka vs. England
Australia vs. New Zealand
Australia vs. India

dish tv is yet to come with pricing and they have rights to Ind WI and Ind SL one day series.

i guess they will combine these 2 with worldcup and price it around 200USD.

Are you on drugs? This is the ICC World Cup being referred to, not FIFA World Cup.

They will be shoveling snow in the driveways of hell before cricket gets shown on ESPN2.

Thanks for playing.

Next?

Ah see, but all that was said was world cup, so I said what I remembered -grin-

If this is the case then DirecTV will have a VERY annoyed customer on their hands. I paid $200 just for the World Cup and I expect I will have to pay more for the triangular ODI series coming up in Aus and Sri Lanka vs. England.

you can talk to DTV andupgrade the WC package to Cricket ticket 2007 and pay the difference of 49.99usd

Can any one confirm this? I called today and was told CricketTicket is now $200 (instead of $250) but does not include the WC which is an additional $250. Also, they had no clue what was being offered this year, I was told all cricket games, WTF does that mean???? Directv is clueless.

 

[bigloo]

So I have called directv 3 times now. All 3 times they initially told me $249 includes cricket ticket AND the world cup, however, when I proceed to order, it eventally comes up showing that this DOES NOT include the world cup, it is juts for cricket ticket. The world cup is an additional $199. So the price for all cricket is $450. The matches they have told me are as stated previously on this thread, which, are not too imporessive (although the WC takes up a good chunk of the time). As a expat South African, there are only 3 SA tours, one against Zim which I dont care to much for. I might just buy the SA/WI package and the WC unless they decide to offer a combo deal.

My feeling is that DTV will be forced to bring down the WC price after E* announced their pricing.

E* will definetly price the WC less than 200USD.

After calling throughout the end of 2006 to findout the timing and pricing of CT 2007, I called again this weekend and got a similar underinfromed rep as most of you. First he said it was $249 for everything (CT and CWC) and then backtracked once he started punching through the order screens. He also started babbling about CT would have been $199 if I had renewed by 12/31/06. :flaiming I began to note that D* had not announced a 2007 CT schedule before 12/31/06 and that their web site still had only the CT 2006 schedule. (Still that way now as I write this.) A quick put on hold and then the pricing as noted here. $249 for CT; $199 for CWC.

I will call again today to see if they have their story any straighter. I am in more of a rush than some of you as the Aus/Eng Twenty20 match is tonight and then the Tri-Series.

[quizzer]

Why is DTV not displaying the cricket ticket 2007 on their website?

Are they waiting for E* to put their CWC pricing?
