Good idea but far too expensive. £5 would be a fairer price point.
It amazes me how in England you still can’t watch every PL match. You are restricted to just the televised games.
For context, here in Japan I pay about a tenner a month for DAZN which lets me watch every single PL game (plus all the other European leagues, Champions League, J League etc.) live and in HD, and also available for about 3 days afterwards too.
Now I’d swap that in a heartbeat for my old season ticket in the the Lower Gwladys and some away days thrown in, and that’s my point, would it really affect match attendances at the Premier League level? Shouldn’t they just adjust the law and allow all games to be televised by the TV companies? Is it fair that people outside the U.K. get a luxury viewing experience of the PL, but British people are restricted in the country where the matches are actually being played?

People seem to have got a tad confused as to what this is. It’s basically all of what would have been the 3 pm Saturday games that weren’t selected for TV, made available to view via PPV.
As you say, we get our seat money refunded so why should we expect to get every game FOC on the box? It was never like this before lockdown so why are people expecting it now? Seems we’ve all been spoilt by getting every game on the box for months, but that was never going to last.
I’ve seen every Everton game this season via my existing subscriptions, that I pay for anyway, with the exception being the West Ham game that cost me £10 via the Carabao site. My seat money for the 2 home league games will be coming back to me.
I do think the price point is tone deaf like, and should be a tenner, but I don’t actually think they’ve published it have they? This seems to be a ‘leak’ and given the outcry I can see it maybe being reduced, but we’ll see.
Similar in Australia, I get every single game from the premier league, champions league, europa cup, internationals, J league and nations league and 2 dedicated football channels, all included for free in my $35 phone plan, or you can buy an annual subscription for $99.
In regards to the UK, I'm pretty sure they dont allow 3pm Saturday games to be broadcast because it would have an effect on lower league attendances, the thinking being that a lot of people won't go and watch their local team live if there is a premier league game on telly. I know there are no fans at the moment, but allowing it now would set a precedent for when fans do return and it would weaken their position when sky inevitably do ask for all games to be broadcast

Ah that’s true I suppose, I didn’t think about the lower league teams.
Don't think so, I don't watch it and have never heard anyone talking about it. I suppose some people will watch it now and again if they need a football fix

I am not mad at the decision but it is the pricing point they got wrong. I think about £6 or £7 and I would have bought not only our games that are PPV but potentially some non Everton.
I have looked through the PPV list and the timings and you can see what they have craftily done. They now have PPV games at 8 on a Saturday night when there is bugger all for us to do knowing fans will cave and order the game

You might find our numbers might be quite good this season considering how well we are playing. You have to remember this is the domestic market only. Would be interesting to see the numbers

The media behemoth created by the public clamouring to give it money for what they already had ripping people off shocker.
Do you get adverts too for that £15?

We would do okay compared to most clubs but what is at the moment an all across the board payment, the RS and utd it would suddenly be 10/20+ times greater. That would further lock in their monetary advantage.
It's a good idea with a poor price point; where that comes back to bite them, we'll see. I won't personally pay it for a number of reasons, but I suspect some may.

I'm kinda interested in seeing what demographics the adverts for a Burnley West Brom game would be now. Infomercial for Laurence Fox and two for one deals on euthanasia.
