It should be a massive online and subscriber draw but they make almost no attempt to tap into that audience. They have choppers in the sky and live feeds and you could probably get 50-100,000 subscribers signing up without too much effort but it seems that they just can’t get their heads around a model where nobody gets to watch the TT without spending £600 to get here and £10 for every burger. Ok. You can’t explain it because you literally posted about how they should do what they are already successfully doing without realising they were doing it 😂 Its called TT+, started last year and is very well received by tens/hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. You should google it and sign up. It’s a brilliant service with regular updates and content delivered to subscribers all year round over and above the very good live coverage of every minute of every session. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadcasterman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) I suppose this brings a new dimension to being a bog trotter. Irish pre TT competitor allegedly touches up women in portable bogs. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/pre-tt-competitor-charged-with-rape/ Edited June 6, 2023 by Broadcasterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t even seem to be trying to generate revenue out of the millions of people in the world who have awareness of the TT as an event but who can’t come here. Are we not getting paid for the TT+ subscriptions? Surely that must make a profit for government? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The revenue doesn’t appear to be that much from 2022 neither has there been any mention of costs to compile it so it’s impossible to work out if any profit is made. So 57,000 people raising £850K means they made about £15 a subscriber for two weeks viewing. Seems remarkably low when a TT hat is around £25 to buy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-61955853 Edited June 7, 2023 by offshoremanxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re now saying that camping is considerably down though. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/decreased-numbers-at-some-campsites-this-tt/ On the MR news this morning they said it was largely being put down to the new elongated itinerary and the cost of travel.

Last year was the first year and people were unsure if it would work or be good value. It did work and reviews and feedback were very good so this year should see more subscribers. Unfortunately it is also a bit of a victim of its own success as now the robbing twunts who refuse to pay for football and f1 and MotoGP can now illegally stream this as well.

The Phantom Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I usually have a couple of Irish bikers stay with me for the whole week. This year however they're only coming today till Saturday. I'll quiz them as to the reduced duration. They are both farmers and last year they were telling me how much stuff like fertilizer has gone up ridiculously in price.

There’s a cost of living crisis & I don’t think the taxpayers should subsidize bikers to come over, everywhere I’ve been it’s been packed including along the quay which is obviously going to be quieter around 10 as sun gone & people either go home pissed or head for entertainment venues like 1886/Jaks etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
