Sunday ticket blackout of Atlanta vs Minnesota
I live in NC. Panthers on local channel. I want to watch Vikings vs Falcons but it is the only game being blacked out on my Sunday ticket. Help!!! Why am I paying $300 and I can't watch the one game I want to see?????? Called customer service. No help, transferred me, then they dropped call. Frustrated

Sometimes they just blackout the wrong game. The only way to fix i know of is to call. Is the Sunday Ticket channel for the Panthers game available?

Panthers game is on the local channel.
Called and was on hold forever. First they said the blackout was because the NFL chose THIS state to black out the game. We are in NC, WHAT?? Told them that was a crap excuse and after being on hold TWO more times, they finally admitted that it was a technical problem. Asked to be compensated for paying for games we aren’t getting and was told we would be reimbursed accordingly. They better. We are watching on our iPad using the NFL Sunday Ticket app. Really not happy about this.

We had the same issue. I called and spoke to 4 different people at AT&T and DirectTV over nearly an hour. I was told “the Falcons game isn’t part of the package.” I subscribe to DirectTV for NFL Sunday Ticket so that we can watch the Falcons. What is the point of subscribing if you can’t watch the games you pay to see?

Same problem for me and several friends in NC. We have all called and received different answers. Clearly they don’t know what they are doing.

After a long time on the phone I finally got Platinum support which confirmed they had a technical problem in NC delivering channel 710. It's terrible service we get for the price we pay for NFL Sunday Ticket. They offer no comp up front. You have to beg for everything. I hate it.

I'm not sure honestly. I called Sunday and got the runaround, ended up with Loyalty, because they said NFL support was overrun. I called back Monday and just said "NFL Sunday Ticket problem" to the automated system and ended up there. It's not like it mattered though really. End result was still the same: Paid for every game, missed opening game of the season because of their admitted problems.

Haha that's a good one. Apology with a refund would be even better but you have a better chance being struck by lightning or riding a unicorn.

No apology. Someone with a difficult accent tried to explain to me what a "home" team was and how a blackout worked.
When I called back on Monday I got nothing from the Customer Service? Rep except I was out of luck and not important enough to pass to a higher service representative.
