2012 League Pass: Hopes, dreams, fears

[DoubleDeuce]

This year's options according to nba.com:

1. TV/Broadband/Mobile

Watch live regular season games on your TV and online!
Early Bird Pricing
$179

2. Broadband Only

Watch live NBA games online!

Early Bird Prices Starting at
$26.99/mo

3. Mobile

Watch regular season games wherever you are!
Early Bird Pricing
$49.99

That $26.99 option on the Broadband only option is a bit misleading because that price only gets you five teams. In 2010 you could pick 7 teams for the cheaper price, so you're getting less this year. If you want to watch all 30 teams, it's $39.99/month.

I was really hoping mobile would stay at $40. Not sure if I'll get it or not.

How long does the early bird pricing last?

Think I might jump on the broadband option this year.

This is the first year I've even thought about maybe getting League Pass....if I do its all or nothing but that 179 price tag....hmmm.

5-team pricing was the same last year. I think I am getting 5-team again this year. I'm not sure I'd ever get the full League Pass because I don't really care to watch a lot of the teams. No offense to fans of these teams but I personally don't care to watch WAS/CHA/MIL/TOR/HOU/PHO/ORL/SAC, for example, and that's already 8 teams (over 25% of the league) off the top of my head. I'd hate to be paying for those with full LP and never watch them.

You can break the payment down in 4.

I kind of want to get League Pass this season, but hmmm. Is the $179 payment for the entire season?

Yes, for all 30 teams. Locally televised games will be blacked out on LP.

And forgot to mention that it's for regular season only. Playoffs/finals are nationally televised anyway, of course.

This ends up costing more than paying at once, though.

I was able to complain to Comcast last year and get them to just split the 1 time payment price over 4 months.

I did similar with Dish... they're not going to say no to money as they're getting paid either way.

I've gotten nba league for the last 4 years and this year is no different.

$179 is a bargain!

Costs me £140 in England which works out to be around $220 I think. And thats for watching it online/mobile devices. We don't get it on satellite or cable over here

Re: 2012 League Pass: Hopes, dreams, fears

I can say that while 179 is a lot, its really only 45 a month until February as many have already stated. This will be my third year going with the full package and there is nothing better than having an NBA game on every single night before I go to sleep all the way until next summer. I can't wait.
