Moto GP video pass

[Se7enheaven]

I’ve been a loyal subscriber to the Moto GP video pass and have been paying 139 Euros a year. Just had renewal in and it’s up to 200 Euros . Ouch. Has anyone else seen a similar price hike ? As much as I enjoy it , and make use of the on demand ( hence reason for using this rather than BT Sport ) I think this jump is a step too far and will end up cancelling it.

I've just checked mine and I paid €199 in 2022, how did you get it for €139?

No idea ,but I’ve been subscribing since 2013.
139 Euro is most I’ve paid.

I’ve cancelled my renewal as it’s just proven to be too unreliable. And at 199 euro, it’s too much to pay if it’s not going to work when you need it.

Was going to ask something similar; I've got a VPN now and was wondering what the best country is to VPN from to subscribe. I'm in UK and I think it was 199 euro.

I can see its something like 149euro in several countries in europe, but any ideas where to maximise the difference?

Also, I'm pissed off with the chromecast stuttering - wonder if I just need to upgrade my old chromecast dongle thing to a newer one? Never been an issue with other casting sources though

I’ve been paying around €199 since 2017

Sounds like you’ve done it through a vpn in a different country?

[HybridTheory]

That's a lot of money BT sport seems better value

Is there a way to view the renewal amount? My payment isn't due until March.

I've binned my old android box and bought an Android TV box, partly in the hope of improving MotoGP viewing performance, and partly because Discovery+ wouldn't work on the old unit.

I used Tunnel Bear to set my location to Holland IIRC, I don't get live timing but err... so what, it's €60 a year cheaper.

So as usual we get ripped off in the UK by looks of it. Another thing for me to be annoyed about

[LukeBrown66]

As usual there are lots of ways to view Motogp without paying a penny if you know where to look, they are worth billions and this is a vast increase, so just opt out and find a cheaper way to watch.

Surely your money is best spent elsewhere? rather than giving it to a company worth billions who just hope people are prepared to pay.

I got an email on Wednesday about my renewal.

Clicking on the 'renew now' button showed the €199.

Mine just said "enable auto-renew", the sneaky peaks.

Yes I know I can watch it for free, but I like being able to watch all classes, quali and race, on demand. If its gone up I'll probably pay it for this season but consider my options for next.

I’m the same as you , like to make the most of my day especially during the better weather and then can sit down at night to watch the quali and racing on demand . So they’ve kind of got me by the nuts. But my interest has waned somewhat over last couple of seasons , so this will be my last season I reckon unless it’s an absolute belter.
