I'm close to giving up.
I'm searching for how I can buy an annual streaming pass for a foreign based user. All I can find is "Sign up for One Orient". I did that last year (£30 ish) and I can sign in now but there's no option to buy what I'm looking for. Has my One Orient thing lapsed? It doesn't say that. How am I supposed to know.
I saw an ad for an annual streaming pass for £195 but it is says "for qualifying games only". What does that mean? All games except cup games? If I pay this, will that sign me up just for the streams available in the UK? If not, why would the UK residents pay the same as me for less than half the service?
Every friggin' year it's the same.

Not for nothing is patience an Oriental virtue. I checked out the "Sign up for One Orient" guff yesterday, and finding it mostly gibberish I sort of expected you'd be on today. In the fullness of time I expect all will become clear.

I have some sympathy for the OP.
I've considered trying to kick my streaming every game addiction for just what I'll get with Sky+
The club should be making it as simple as possible to keep me on board.
I know what streaming subscriptions add to the coffers is a fraction of the Sky money but as a club that cares about loyalty, they should be doing better.

If I pay this, will that sign me up just for the streams available in the UK? If not, why would the UK residents pay the same as me for less than half the service? Every friggin' year it's the same. I purchased the Overseas membership thing too recently, as I did last season. The Overseas sub is a yearly subscription and cost me just shy of $60 Australian dollars. What this does do, is entitle you to a discount on the 195 quid cost of a yearly streaming pass - the discount code you get when you purchase your Overseas sub knocks 25 quid off of the std price so I can now select to purchase a yearly pass which will work out at around $340 AUD - this works out to be about $8.60 or so per game when you add cost of the overseas membership in to the mix (about 4 quid odd) - good value really. However, last year an overseas membership also secured a 10% club shop discount which is not offered this year. As much as I appreciate the benefit as an OS member of being able to get priority seating allocation for games I can attend in UK and a 10% discount on a stadium tour(bearing in mind, I have only been back twice in the 26 years I have been in Aus) I would have saved a bit of money just electing to buy the annual live stream pass without the additional cost of the overseas sub. That said, I am more than happy to consider the cost of the overseas membership as a gift to the clubs coffers! Like you though, bit confused (still) about what games will be available to me to stream (all 46 league)?? Mark Devlin seemed to suggest that the EFL deal will not impinge on the clubs ability to offer its std streaming service at the AGM recently so I am hopeful I will be able to ruin my sleeping patterns and silently scream in my front room at ungodly hours of the morning for all league games in 24/25! - I only missed 2 last year... |

Where did you see the ad Fisch? I've seen nothing and it doesn't look like the streaming pass has been made available yet. |

Canberra ACT here Last season I paid the $170 pounds for my overseas season tv viewing pass ( as you say around aus $330). I did not pay the 30 initial advertised pass as like you I am stuck here and cannot access clubs offers ( apart from I assume buying stuff on line but it’s the overseas postage that makes it not appealing unfortunately. I anticipate in a day or so the club to advertise the tv orient overseas price and what games if covers - so we don’t miss the first game in the middle of the night for us too |

I was pinging back and forth within the impenetrable maze known as the LOFC website. Eventually l got completely lost and just plain quit. Either me or them are stupid. Either that or the average fan is a long way down the list of priorities. Too much marketing strategy, not enough common sense. |

This is spectacularly bad from a club that likes to talk about the importance of the fanbase outside the UK. The season starts in four days and I've still no idea whether I can watch the games 🤷

In the absence of any news on the overseas tv membership I just logged on the tv page went to overseas membership and paid the advertised sum of GBP 195.00 which is AUS $384
Last season it was GBP 170.00
I assume it gone up in in line with the higher prices for watching the game in person at the ground
I assume it will be for all the 46 league matches including any sky matches if that occurs as the description on what one is buying does not have any comment to say differently.
It works out $8.34 per match that is good value I reckon (even though for me it's in the middle of the night).
I am not sure what occurs for cup games

FA cup hasn’t been in the past. Not sure about the league cup. |

Great link Thor. I agree with the rest in this thread, that the website is not very intuitive and is in need of an overhaul. I know that Carabo cup is n Bein sports so I may opt in for a free trial for that for the Newport game and typically, I think for those of us in Aus, FA cup is on Paramount, sign up, ideally for a free trial if available then cancel or, worst case pay the 10 bucks for the month as the ticket price...This year we are going all way to 1/4 finals so expect to spend about 40 bucks

Just got an email from lofc in which others overseas will get if they have previously supplied their email address
- ALL league matches
- FA cup and Carabao Cup - live audio only ( as lofc are not permitted to broadcast pictures )
- At least 3 Bristol Street motors
From memory I think the Bristol Street motors in the old league cup
I don’t know what the Carabao cup is

Thanks Thor. What's this "One Orient" thing? The link to it on the website gives me no clue it is worth bothering with. When I went to buy my annual streaming pass I was not given the option to join 'One Orient' thus getting a £25 reduction on the streaming pass. Can anyone find a link where this is explained? I did find a page where membership guarantees my preferred seat but that's no value to me. I was going to ignore it but when I clicked on McCormack's interview link, it said "sign in to your One Orient account". Does this mean that I will be denied certain pieces of content if I don't sign up? Is it me? |
