Sports fans 'flabbergasted' after Sportsnet announces double-digit price hike | CBC News
Briefly

Rogers Sports and Media announced a price increase for Sportsnet+, raising the premium package by 30% from $249.99 to $324.99 and the standard package by 25% from $199.99 to $249.99, effective Sept. 9. As a result, many customers are expressing frustration online. Jason Pike from Halifax canceled his subscription upon seeing the increase, noting he preferred the now-discontinued NHL Live service. He mentioned that he might turn to alternative streaming options, highlighting the limited choices for watching NHL games. Sportsnet+ is the main provider of NHL game streaming in Canada.
When I saw the numbers, my jaw dropped. I looked at my wife and said, 'Sportsnet's going up 80 bucks.' I was absolutely flabbergasted.
There's a lot of pirate sites out there. I've used them here and there, but they haven't been a big thing in my life. But now, well, you're not leaving me a lot of options here.
Sportsnet+ is the most comprehensive live sports streaming experience in Canada. This update reflects that great value for sports fans looking for the best sports content in the country.
Many customers have taken to social media to express their frustrations over the significant price hikes for Sportsnet's streaming service.
