Stan Sport prices increase following EPL and FA Cup acquisition
Nine has increased the price for subscriptions to Stan Sport in the wake of securing the broadcast rights for the English Premier League and FA Cup.
The 19% price increase kicked in on July 1, seeing Stan Sports users pay a minimum of $32 a month, up $5 from the previous $27 monthly payment.
Stan’s basic plan costs $12 a month, while it’s mid-tier plan — which offers HD and up to three screens — costs $17. Stan Premium is $22 a month, offering 4K quality and four screens. Stan Sport, as an add-on, has increased from $15 to $20 a month.
I’d hoped Stan would offer a sports package without having to pay for all its other rubbish. I’ll continue with ‘alternative’ streams until it does
Sneaky
Sadly with only one network taking basically all sport there will be price hikes whenever they seem fit. With Optus and Stan competing against each other prices were high but manageable now this opens the door for little or no competition and I believe the prices will soon show this.
I’m out.
