All businesses aim to make profit. There's a subtle difference between that and profiteering, though. |

| Quote Rock God X="Rock God X"Of course it is. And part of being a customer is to express an opinion about the services a business offers, and the cost/value for money thereof.
He's gone out of his way to do it because he'll make a shed load of cash from it, not out of some sense of altruism. The point the 'moaners' are making is that he'll make plenty of money from booze at a time when he would otherwise have been a lot quieter, and he'll still have the satellite equipment to use for future events. He probably will shift all the tickets - finding a couple of hundred people willing to pay a fiver out of a fanbase of 11,000 shouldn't be that difficult, but that doesn't mean it's reasonable to charge people a fiver to get into a pub.'"
Five quid to watch Hull for 2 hours or 10% of your wages to listen to some boring child molester tell you about something that can't be proven?
In that context it's a ing bargain. |

| Quote Sheldon="Sheldon"He eats they're because the food, service and value is the best he's found.'"
He does? Do you know that for sure? He might eat there (like I do at my local Italian) because it's within walking distance of his home and he doesn't have to drive/get a taxi. Besides, why he eats there is irrelevant. He still has the right to express an opinion on the matter as a regular customer of the business.
Quote Sheldon="Sheldon"He can still still eat there on saturday, maybe a hour or 2 earlier and he can by a ticket to watch his favorite club play live in the only pub showing it.
For an extra 5 quid. [uloving bargain.[/u'"
Well, the underlined part is open to debate. I don't consider £5 to get into a pub (for whatever reason) to be a bargain. |

In that context it's a loving bargain.'"
In that context, paying £100 to see Westlife would be a bargain! |

Maybe he should just charge £3.25 because if things go the usual route everyone will be leaving after 60 minutes anyway  |

Work in the cost of the equipment, the card to receive the encrypted channel and it is reasonable. Saying he will use that equipment again in the future, of course he will but not very often. He cannot use it to show premier league football due to legal reasons so it will be a case of buying a card for 1 or 2 games a season.
At the end of the day you have a choice of whether to go or not he is not forcing anybody to go. |

Actually, I think there was a test case a while back where a pub landlady was using a Greek (?) channel to show Premier League games. She was sued by Sky and won.

Indeed. I was just expressing an opinion. I wouldn't be going anyway as I live 60 miles away. That M62 can be dicey after 6 or 7 pints. |

I'm not paying a fiver to go to the pub, I'm paying a fiver to get into the only venue in Hull showing something Id like to see. I pay more than that to go to the cinema. Isnt it a fiver a week to get Hull FC tv and watch the match from a crappy camera angle?
What a fuss about nothing. |
