Hoping those of you who have subscribed before can answer a question for me since their live chat was completely useless. If I sign up for just the month of March on the website, will I need to cancel the service myself physically before the end of March? Or will it automatically cancel and I won't be charged for April without having to take any action?
 
I'm not an expert, and I subscribe for the whole wrestling season (so have no experience with a 1-event situation); but I think you normally sign up for a monthly plan, and thus would have to unsubscribe. It's not a hard thing to do. I'll be doing it right after the B1G's.
 
I've been signing up 1 month at a time during the wrestling season. There is actually now a checkbox for "Automatically resubcribe". If you uncheck that, it will automatically unsubscribe after 1 month. Of course, if you didn't already do that, you'll have to manually unsubscribe now. But in the future, you can just do that.

I actually had to go resubscribe last week because mine had run out for the month.

You can't sign up for "just the month of March." The subscription (monthly) goes on 30-days from the date you sign up. As for paying, you choose either the yearlong option (Penn State only), or the monthly auto-renewing option (Penn State only). If you choose (like most of us who get it just for wrestling) the monthly option, then you cancel when you are done with it. It's as easy as could be. You go into "My Account", then "My Subscriptions" and click "Cancel Subscription." Piece of cake.
 
Thanks for the responses everyone. I figured it had to be relatively simple, but their live chat produced no one to actually have said chat.
 
I signed up for the Penn St only plan, is that sufficient to watch this weekend or would I need to sign up/upgrade for the all access plan that covers all schools?

Yes, not based on personal knowledge as I get all sports all teams, but many have chimed in that they get PSU only and got all of the BIG matches in the past, which makes sense since they are showing each mat and would have no easy way to filter out none PSU matches.

I always purchase BTN Plus through ITunes because I watch it either in the tablet or cart it to the tv from the tablet or phone. With ITunes, when the month is over, you have to re-subscribe.

I just did a live chat with them, I currently subscribe to "penn state" only, and he told me I needed the full conference package to see the tournament...$14.95 according to him, so I guess I will be upgrading before Saturday!!

I don't think that will work for Big Tens according to what they told me, you need the 14.95 plan, whatever that is called.

I had to do the same.
 
Would wait till Sat. also..Big ten is so dam money hungry it worked for me last year also and I only had the Iowa plan.
Show you how money they are..I can get the Big Ten networth
my cable provider is local. Now I can't use Big Ten2Go because my cable provider is not on there list. So I checked with provider and he told me would have to pay them more money and not many of his customers would use BigTen2Go.
 
i wouldnt spend the money until Saturday.... I watched last year with only the PSU plan. maybe it has changed. or maybe the customer service guy was clueless.
That's what I plan to do but if we are not able to get the tournament will we be able to simply upgrade for $5.00 or will we find two bills on our cards. I simply don't trust their honesty or competence.

I had the exact same experience last season.

PSU-only plan
Watched entire tourney, all mats.

I was told you could not upgrade. I asked if I could do that as I was already subscribed to Penn State only.
 
Just got this reply from BTN support in regards to whether I can get the Big10 wrestling tourney with a school pass like last year OR need to upgrade to a full Conference Pass like has been hinted at for this year?

"Thank you for contacting billing and technical support.

We have currently corrected the issue that was preventing BTN School Pass subscribers from receiving any Championship events. You will have access to these events, as long as they are listed on the schedule page and are listed for BTN Plus subscribers.?

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Best regards,

BTN2Go Support
 
Well...that sucks.
I also was fine with the team pass last year but didnt sign up till the last minute; I was told they were allowing it as a "one-time" thing.

This year I didnt want to wait till the last minute, so signed up for conference pass this morning, and now they act like there was a technical issue they needed to correct.

The extra $5 is inconsequential, but boy I hate feeling like I have been misled and ripped off.
 
and fwiw i just logged in to all 4 mats with only the team pass and it certainly appears as if I am good to go. event hasnt started yet but i didn't get any kind of error message that I wasnt allowed access

Thanks. I haven't signed up yet, and they are still telling me that I need the full conference pass. They are certainly sending out mixed signals. Can anyone else confirm that they are on the school only plan and are getting all mats this morning? Thanks in advance.

All mats streaming with just a school pass. Guys loosening up,on all mats. 5 minutes to the start.
 
You can click the box to not resubscribe. It works...I did it last year with no issues, and I did it again this year. Also, the school pass will work. I talked with the chat people twice and received two different answers. On Tuesday they told me I needed a conference pass, and last night they told me that a school pass would be fine. Last year I watched everything with just my school pass, and right now I'm streaming all mats with no issues with a school pass.
