Out of interest has a pricing structure been announced for the semifinal games and the final yet? I know I've not seen it, but wondered if I had missed anything?

And by the way this is a much worse offering that the imo fair pricing we had for this stage.

What happens if you pay for 3 final games but it’s wrapped up in 2? I know it says best of 3 but if you’ve paid you’d be hoping it went to 3.

I thought the packages for the group stages were fair enough, but I think they've got this wrong.

I'm not paying £49 to potentially watch my team twice.

They should have offered semi final packages. Say £20 for your own teams semi and maybe £30 for all 4.

I would have been tempted by all 4, but now it's a game by game basis.

Regards

That's the bit the I cant get my head around, How can they justify selling them at a higher rate with absolutely no certainly you will be watching your own team in the finals... Surely your odds are not good as a fan, two lots of fans are 100% going to pay for 7 games and watch only 2 and why in hell would I want to watch the second semi final anyway? and even worse watch a best of 3 final when your not in it! 8| :evil:

Under the previous pricing structure the games got cheaper if you committed to watching other games your team wasn't involved in... Now in effect it cost more! :slaphead:

Think the best way to go about it is give the semis a miss then buy individual final games should we get there.

£49 for playoff games package, possible total of 7 games.
A friend has got a semi final for free due to streaming problems in the first Steelers game. But he will still have to pay for another semi and possibly 3 final games at £13 = £52.00 ? So free game is not free, it could cost him £3 more if final goes to 3 games.
