I subscribed to GCN Race Pass back in August, paying the introductory offer price of £19.99, being half of the “regular” price of £39.99.
The subscription was taken out via Google Play, and as expected that subscription shows the next payment of £39.99, the expected regular price, due to be taken in August. All fine so far. Happy to renew at that price.
However, GCN have launched an Android TV app now, which I installed yesterday. Within this app’s Account section, it shows my subscription as renewing in August, but at £69.99, not £39.99.
ie. a £30 a.k.a. 75% increase over the price I expected to be paying.
So a question for GCN (@Brian_GCN)…
=> Is this price “discrepancy” between the two apps a technical glitch, or has the Android TV app let the cat out of the bag that a very large % price hike is incoming?
Just an FYI - I am on a similar subscription setup but through Apple, and it says £39.99 on mine for 6th August 2021. TBH, while it’s good I’m not even sure I’d pay £40 year on year as I could just watch the TdF through ITV Hub. All the other bits and pieces are nice… certainly not worth £70 to me but maybe be a better value proposition for others.
Your subscription renewal shouldn’t increase, it should be £39.99, this is a technical glitch as you’ve put it and we’re now looking into it - sorry to have caused confusion!
@swgregg If you’re only paying for a sub for TDF content have you considered signing up just for the month instead? You’ll get all of our TDF coverage (subject to territory restrictions) as well as highlights and the Breakaway analysis show, of course if you’d rather stick to ITV in future then that’s fine
I’m psyched with $25/year but will definitely be renewing at $50: cyclocross season or this month’s road racing alone are almost worth $50 to me. Like you said, different value for different folks but $50 is a steal for all this content. Good job GCN!
I substitute to eurosport where they show road, cyclo-cross, mountain, track and so many other sports. I also rnjoy watching the x country skiing, biathlon and athletics.
