Virgin Media has unveiled its new ‘Season Ticket’ offer. Available to new and existing customers until the close of the transfer widow at the end of August, the Season Ticket gives ten months access to Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2, Sky Sports 3, Sky Sports 4 and Sky Sports 5 for a one-off upfront cost of £150.

A statement from Virgin Media claims the savings add up to over 40 per cent compared to paying month-by-month.

Virgin Media is now delivering all the live sporting action from Sky Sports, BT Sport, ESPN, British Eurosport, Premier Sport, BoxNation, Racing TV and more. Customers will see their HD sport line-up increase on July 15th, when it adds Sky Sports 3 HD, Sky Sports 4 HD and Sky Sports F1 HD whilst Sky Sports 5 and Sky Sports 5 HD will be available from launch on August 12th.

Virgin Media customers will also soon have access to all their Sky Sports channels on the go, for the first time, through a dedicated app. This will be initially available for iOS mobile and tablet devices, as well as online, with an Android version coming later.

Dana Strong, Chief Operating Officer at Virgin Media, said; “Virgin Media is now the home of all the major live sports in the UK in HD or on the go. This is the first time all the Sky and BT Sport channels will be available in one place, backed by superfast broadband, for a single great value price. It doesn’t matter if you are watching at home or on the go, you now have front row access to all the top sporting action with Virgin Media.”

This is something worth considering for me as I have their XL package, but I could not justify the additional cost of their Sports pack
but seeing as I still get my Motorbikes in HD on BT Sports 1&2 and Eurosport's because I have a Tivo Box I might just take the plunge just a shame the Virgin Card only works in their Cable Boxes

There is a lot of evidence that their card does work in unofficial platforms. I saw a post on this WoS forum a few days ago that said as much.

well I wish that I could find a way to do it as I would fit my Cable Tuner back in my Golden Interstar LX3
and start using my Official Virgin Card in that box instead of the Tivo :confused:
