Pre Season Matches.

Just been sent an email, offering me 25% off to stream the friendlies. Really are rinsing season ticket holders now aren't they i used to fume at the streams not working when they was free for us

TFG are gonna be in for a rude awakening on how few take them up on their 'offer'

 

[Modern07]

I for one will not be paying a single penny to stream a friendly game - the absolute nerve.

I can’t imagine many will take up that offer - certainly shouldn’t do!

 

[UltraVires]

I thought it was free to season ticket holders because they made a huge thing about us having EvertonTV+ as part of our ST.

Surely this is an error in their email?

First real example of sweating the asset. Think they chose the wrong output to try but you can't deny 5 thousand paying up is still more money than 0.

A mistake perhaps but not an error. Not entirely unexpected.

Surely this is trade descriptions.

From the O.S. today -
Everton’s new subscription TV service – evertontv+ – is launching on Friday 11 July with the release of an exclusive three-part documentary series Goodison Park: End of an Era, celebrating the Grand Old Lady and her iconic 133-year history.
Forever Blue+ Members, Premium Members and Season Ticket Members will gain automatic access to evertontv+ under the benefits of their Memberships.
Please note – live streams of pre-season fixtures will not be included as part of the subscription.

The club has a turnover of well over 100 million and they're gonna make like £50,000 off this. What are we doing here..

Giving it to Patterson for his weeks wages.

I think charging £60 for a membership was the first example of sweating the asset.

And those paying it will prove to be their own worst enemy.

'If Ifab approval is given, Ref Cams could be trialled by the Premier League in its Summer Series tournament this month in the US, featuring Manchester United, Everton, West Ham and Bournemouth, with a view to potentially using them next season.'

Premier League holds talks with Ifab over plans to introduce Ref Cams next season

Footage has been used at the Club World Cup for instant replays and could be trialled during pre-season pending approval

There is a market for tv rights for these matches. If they give it away for free, they can't sell these rights.

In addition our opponents will want a chance of making money on streams. If Everton give it away for free, they won't sell subscriptions or memberships.

Not being in England, I see that I can sign up for a local streaming service and get access to 42 pre-season friendlies with Premier League teams incl. four of Everton's matches. For less than one matchpass from Everton will cost me.

Theyre not and wouldnt be giving them away for free, they should be included in an Everton tv+ package which costs a minimum of 60 pounds annually. Or included in the season ticket package which is about £600 annually. The same as every other year where they've done the same where its been sold abroad as usual.

In addition, being in England, I can see no other provider is broadcasting these two matches including the hosts. It's a nonsense argument that doesn't hold up to any scrutiny but by all means keep defending billionaires greed and the degradation of the game.

The streams had better be watchable for the entire match this pre-season for the charges.
Every time they’ve tried this the streams have either gone down pre kick off or ½ way through them.
