A game purchased for streaming on a one off basis for overseas fans is £7.99.
The same game purchased for streaming on a one off basis for fans in the UK is £10 (games are allowed to be streamed in the UK if they are not Saturday 3pm kick offs).
That’s completely fair, obviously. Oh, wait. No. No, it’s not. It’s completely ridiculous.
Fabulous job once again. It’s almost as though it’s deliberate. |  | |  |

Oh come on, it's not worth moaning about.
It's probably because people back home are more likely to get their mates around and watch together, whilst abroad there would be lots of individual purchases. |  |

It’s a 25% higher price for someone in the UK compared to someone in any other country.
It has nothing to do with getting mates round, if anything that’s more likely in reverse. It’s this mania that the club seem to have for what they will doubtless call ‘customer acquisition’. It smacks of people that simply don’t understand the difference between marketing within ‘normal’ consumer markets and marketing within UK football. For them, a new customer is worth more than an existing customer.
Great if you’re John Lewis. But it simply isn’t the same for football here. | | | |

Save 10% ! I'll take a £1 commission for advising you on a reliable VPN and booking using my credit card complete with overseas address.  |  |

I'd assume the extra few quid is going to the EFL/Sky rather than being an arbitrary surcharge on the club's end. The iFollow service has the same price structure.
If their "improved infrastructure" leads to showing replays of goals in u23s matches I'll be chuffed. Watched a Derby Country (I think) stream of one of our games last season and they had replays and graphics and everything, it was great. Our is one bloke with a handicam. | | | |

They're asking for you to register with your credit card and address (from a non-UK country)...so not impossible but harder than simply getting a VPN. |  |

Many overseas countries are simply not as affluent as the UK. 7.99 here is a lot of money when the official minimum wage is just over 2 quid an hour. I teach English and earn about the UK minimum per hour before tax NI etc so have to work about an hour and a half to pay for the game. The model is used by a lot of subscription services such as Spotify. I pay about 4 quid a month whereas the UK is 10. An ideal model would charge dependent on ability to pay and charge accordingly but that gets unwieldy and complicated.
I am just happy to he able to watch the games and will subscribe despite the cost. |  | | |

I think the issue is it’s £2 cheaper abroad. Tend to agree with Res on this one though. £10 is decent for a one off game. It’s a fair point of principle, but I’m not really bothered if someone else gets it for less. | | | |

Would they have to add VAT to British customers?
Or are they just money grabbing bastards?

Can someone please explain this to me?
If I am a UK or Republic of Ireland resident and subscribe to SwansTV Live, will I still be able to stream live games when I travel abroad?
No. You would need to be based outside the UK and Republic of Ireland and subscribe with a valid address, telephone number and bank payment details from the UK and Republic of Ireland. | | | |

It’s for people who live abroad rather than those on holiday.
It’s the deal the EFL cut with Sky. Nothing you can do about it apart from hope someone manages to stream it | | | |

But if you're resident abroad why would you need to "subscribe with a valid address, telephone number and bank payment details from the UK and Republic of Ireland". Have they omitted a word here? Like "from OUTSIDE the UK and Republic of Ireland"? | | | |

Sorry, I misread. Yeah I’d guess you need to prove you’re not living in the uk and they missed the word ‘outside’. | | | |

UK residents looks like you will only be able to watch the midweek games for a £10. Still a touch on the expensive side. It would be useful for important games towards the end of the season. For the midweek games, i still think it's best to watch all the championship goals go in on Sky Sports News. | | | |

VAT is applicable throughout the EU.
Not just UK and Ireland. So any price variance for watching in UK vs. for example Spain or Germany, isn’t being caused by VAT (other than the odd penny caused by different rates in EU, say 19% in Germany or 21% in Spain rather than our 20%). | | | |

You’re being too generous by ignoring the £110 season package for overseas fans, which isn’t available here.
Not that it’ll bother most of us on here if we all go the games. |  | | |

I thought it better to compare like for like.
Obviously living away, midweek games are a pain, so I’m more likely to use a streaming service than many on here, hence my interest.
Am investigating what the rules actually are. What decisions are within remit of clubs. | | | |

EFL rules dictate what can be shown and to which region. I suspect club sets pricing as this is our own platform, not the league’s iFollow service. Be interesting to have that confirmed though.
Yeah, I suppose there are a lot whole live away and similarly a lot in Swansea who don’t go away. There won’t be that many matches on this though if it excludes all Sat 3 pm kick offs and anything broadcast live on tv. | | | |

To maximise the amount of games that you are able to watch (by using a VPN to hide your location), you need to choose a country that shows the minimum number of games through their national broadcaster.
Having looked at the EFL site, there are a number of countries that do not show any EFL games, so theoretically if you were to use a VPN to show you were in one of the below countries, you would be able to view every single game. Listed are European countries, others countries will be the same:
Albania, Hungary, Italy, Kosova, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Romania, San Marino, Spain and Ukraine.

Great news for me. Having all the games on NBC was a godsend last year, even if it did ruin most Saturday mornings! | | | |

Lets be honest, if we are as crap and as boring as we were last season, theyll be making another loss to sit nicely alongside that of the stadium lease
On the plus side. Nice idea for those who dont live in S Wales and have zero chance of midweek games and away games |  |

OK so question for the techies. Assume I have a relative in Oz who is also a Swans (born) fan. He subscribes legitimately to the streaming service using his Australian credentials. Thinking about similar streaming services in the UK (e.g. Sky Go) a subscriber is entitled to access the service he pays for on more than one device.
So, I wonder whether I could "piggy back" on my relative's service via a VPN masked Australian server. Views? |  |
