I ordered eight shows on FITE to watch over WM Weekend, the most expensive may have been Spring Break at $20. A bunch of others were at $11.99-14.99. I also only ended up paying for six of the eight shows thanks to FITE credits I accrued through these purchases.
To answer an earlier question, yes, there are bundles available, at least for the Collective and WrestleCon shows.
You do realize that you canât make money, if people donât order your shows? People were already watching through nefarious means, when it was $15 and that was a fair price to charge. How many more are going to watch now that they want to rip people off?
I donât have a TV service so I only keep up through RAD. I would have liked to purchase Revolution, but $50 was too much. Having no friends that have any interest in AEW doesnât help either. I only bought All In and All Out given their âbig timeâ vibe.
Given the price, I have to treat these PPV the same way I treat a PPV for combat sports; that is, I must feel a desire to not be felt out and demand that the presentation is top-notch stuff that Nefarious Means Network wouldnât do it justice.
Lastly, didnât John, Wai, and Damian watch the PPV together? If theyâre saving money by watching as a group, think of the casual fan that would to spend $50 to watch the PPV.
If a company pushes people to get a VPN to purchase something already available in their country to save money, theyâre doing something wrong.
Correct me if Iâm wrong but on the Post Show for Revolution, when the topic of PPV price came up, wasnât the question asked if $50 USD was too much? Thatâs why Iâm using that price as the reference point.
The line of overcharging is the point at which you would make more at some lower price. If they are doing 100k buys at $50. They would need 200k at $25 just to break even profit wise. So it is a matter of a company feels like lowering the price will result in a significant enough increase in buys.
They donât sell 100k in the US. That includes Canada and overseas. I imagine with them all laying 20 bucks per show itâs not as dramatic as you think
I think the average American fan just isnât savvy enough to VPN to Canada and get it cheaper or they would. Canadians have been doing this for years into the US to access banned content like Netflix and WWE Network
We often donât have to so most people donât. I know it isnât 100k at $50. That just made the math easy. The point remains that lower cost needs to translate into an equivalent dollar amount in buys. If they donât get more buys to negate the lost revenue it isnât really over priced.
OK, let me try again: I usually just buy DVDs and Blu Rays instead of PPVs. They may be as much as their live counterparts, but at least I can watch them as often as I can,
But if you want me to answer the question, maybe $19.95 for regular PPVs, and $40 for largest grossing PPVs.
Why so nominal? I am unemployed and have been for a long time, and I donât think PPVs should cost that much. I like the WWE Network model of exclusive PPVs: you save a lot.
