How much for Sky Sports in a private members club?

[Rosscow]

Discussing the possibility of Sky Sports in our small private members golf clubhouse yesterday morning. We have 80 members and it isn't open to the public.

We wouldn't want any other channels, just Sky Sports.

Any idea how much this would cost?

Thanks!

This PDF might give you an idea.

Crikey, so the cheapest you're looking at is £155 + VAT per month? That's £2232.00 per year, or basically £28 per member per year (and there's no chance all 80 members would agree to it!)

Well that's a non starter

Thanks anyway

If you're doing it properly you'll have to factor in PRS/PPL licensing as well!

You could speak to Sky and see if they'll do you a deal, they are a bit more flexible these days, but it won't be domestic pricing.

Also you'll need to pay extra for BT sport if you want it.

Well, I've been asked by the committee to get some concrete costs.

About £85 per m3.

If it's a private members club which isn't open to the public you could always go the kodi route

Contact Sky business, ask them for a price, simple. They will deliver and pump, you just need to smooth it out.

A members club I deal with pay £385 + VAT per month, no BT Sport.

Or someone can bring their Sky box in from home, plug into a dish and away you go.

Both 'illegal', the committee will be responsible if the Sky police come calling.

So a small fraction of what it would cost each member to have it at home?

What are you expecting it to cost?

A friend owns a bar and he told me his bill is calculated as 50% of rates. In his instance that's over £10k per year and he tells me he makes nowhere near that in return but is seen as something he needs to offer.

My local pub has some tv setup that gets all games, yet none are sky sports. Occasionally they may not be english but mostly are. Got a big satellite connected to it. Costs him less than £30 a month i think he said, details are hazzy, it was the pub afterall :lol: Regarding legalities... most likely not.

Live Premier League games broadcast via foreign decoder or internet stream, either of which could constitute copyright infringement and result in a big fine.

Fud.

There are completely legal ways to do this and the number of Pubs taking this approach is on the increase.

A lot's happened since Karen Murphy's case in 2011.

The current situation seems to revolve around Premier League copyrighted material - such as the lion logon which is superimposed on Premier League matches.

If that is broadcast without the PL's permission, then anyone showing the material is running the risk of prosecution for copyright infringement.

This didn't deserve to go unnoticed

You can have my Sky Go log in for £20 per month.
