AEW Double or Nothing - 5/25/2019

[Craig H 11,023]

I wouldn't be shocked if Dazn or Fite or whatever winds up offering it for far less. The cable/dish PPV pricing being a little all over the place depending on who your provider is just contributes to that belief.

How much are WWE PPVs for the people who still buy them via PPV? Do they even offer them that way anymore?

[RIPPA 30,085]

Money in the Bank is listed as $54.95 on DirecTV

Xfinity is $59.99 for SD, $69.99 for HD (this is one is from memory so it could be 49.99/59.99)

[hammerva 3,974]

What was the PPV cost of the first ALL IN show?  If it was the same value and it did recently well but I guess the price is worth it.   I believe that was kind of successful financially

[RIPPA 30,085]

Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki, Emi Sakura vs Hikaru Shida, Riho, Ryo Mizunami

Best Friends vs. Angelico/Jack Evans

have been added to the show

[Craig H 11,023]

Ohhhh shit! Best Friends vs Angelico/Jack Evans.

This card is the shit.

I believe I paid $45 or $50 for ALL IN with a buddy paying me twenty bucks to watch it. 

[NikoBaltimore 3,516]

Much like with All In I'll get this on Fite for on-demand viewing but will go to a bar to watch it live.  Hoping this time around they fix the sound issues there but either way I'm really freaking excited for this show.

[Tromatagon 8,346]

I paid $10 to watch All In on NJPW World.

If you want the whole weekend of shit it's another $60 for all of Starrcast on Fite, but Night 1 has pretty much everything I'm interested in watching

Considering it was at least over $100 last time I may consider getting it this time around.  Will need to take another look at the lineup to see though.

[Tromatagon 8,346]

Roast of Ric Flair is the highlight for sure.

Oh, shit, I forgot about that.  In that case there goes $60.

[Tromatagon 8,346]

That's on Day 1 with most of the good stuff - you might be able to get away with just $15 instead of $60

[Oyaji 8,017]

What's the over-under on how many times Flair cries during his roast?

[Tromatagon 8,346]

I fucked up.  Almost all the good Starrcast stuff is day TWO not Day 1, but there's some good stuff a lot of the days which makes me want to possibly get all four.  They're charging $40 for Day 2 by itself and $60 for everything.   I could have sworn they were $15 a day earlier - the other days are still that low I think. I've bolded some personal favorites:

Damn,  it's $59.99 on my cable guide.  I was not expecting it to be that much.  

[RIPPA 30,085]

 

[Sublime 892]

Well that's too much for me, I was looking forward to the card but I can't justify 50 bucks for it. 

[Casey 5,561]

That’s $50 on top of the subscription for BR Live isn’t it?

No - apparently it is ala carte (hence the higher price)

However - this is me reading other people tweeting about it so all that info could be totally wrong

[CSC 2,497]

Just from messing around with the website, there doesn't appear to be one subscription that covers all of BR Live's content. 

The two main subscriptions look to be their soccer and lacrosse subs ($9.99 and $7.99 respectively) and then they have ala carte arm wrestling events for $2.99.

The whole site is a bit confusing and being able to actually access pricing without signing up for an account would probably help solve some of that.

Over-the-top media! 

[Hagan 1,173]

FWIW - I don't think it's a bad idea letting the audience set the price point. Everyone realizes that the WWE made a pretty big mistake by undercutting their PPV business. 

There's gonna be a lot of demand for this show and a lot of their fan base wants to be on the ground floor of something. I imagine this first show does well.

That said, this as a regular price point for monthly big shows is probably tough sledding. Pricing the tent-pole shows at UFC-level prices, though, may work out.

Did it happen to say anything about on demand viewing?  Sorry, can't check at work.

[Craig H 11,023]

Fuck it, I'll order it for $50. Now, I don't think I would order it every month because there's no way I'm spending $600 on wrestling yearly, which doesn't even include the $9.99 for WWE and approx. $9 for NJPW World.
