How do I get the Alabama-Tulane Game on Pay per View this week? ?

Question

ESPN Map says it's available thru them in all but LA and AL, where it should be on local channels. But I know it's on Pay-Per-View. I have Comcast. Is there any way to get this? I saw the Auburn game on one of our channels last week (didn't buy it but saw that that's where it would be) so it seems like I should be able to get this one too. But I can't find any info on how to get it or how much it costs.

Answer 1

Hello -

I am in Alabama and have Charter Cable. I just went to channel 861 on the guide, clicked select on my remote, and a box popped up saying "Tulane vs. Alabama 6:00 Central $29.95 press "B" to buy, then "A" to confirm purchase."  I did this, and then my tv screen showed 8 different colored vertical lines (like it usually does when I order a game on PPV before the game actually starts) for this channel.  Hope it works!!

I have DirecTV.  I called a rep there and she said they won't know if it is blacked out until the game begins, and if you already ordered it, they don't have to give a refund because they explain the blackout rules on the phone when you order.  I looked at ESPN's web site, and according to it, Alabama is on black out for the game.  I still don't understand why Alabama gets blacked out when it is our game.  Geez.  Anybody else find anything else out about this?

It's 34.95 on PPV, via comcast. Just invite some friends over, to chip in, have lotsa beer and enjoy... :)

Answer 4

If you are on Charter Cable you can go to channel 861 and order the game when it is closer to kick-off for $29.95. If you want to per-order you push the menu button twice on your remote and scroll down to PPV and order the game there. Like you I have been looking for info on how to get the game. I finally called Charter to get this information.
