After news of Netflix’s upcoming price increase, Sky, too, has announced price hikes to some of its NOW TV subscription packages taking effect from 29th May.
After 29th May, the Sky Movies Month Pass, currently at £8.99 a month, will cost subscribers £9.99 a month. And the price of the Entertainment Month Pass will go up to £6.99 a month from its current introductory price of £4.99 a month. There will be no changes to NOW TV Box, Sky Sports Day Pass and Bundle prices. New customers will still be entitled to a 30 day free trial when they get The Sky Movies Month Pass.
What do all these mean to existing customers?
If you already have The Sky Movies Month Pass and/or The Entertainment Month Pass, your month pass automatically renews at the current prices until 29th May but all renewals after 29th May will be done at the increased prices unless cancelled.
What about new customers?
New customers thinking of getting the Entertainment Month Pass can still enjoy the service for the next 2 months at £4.99 a month if they act fast and subscribe before 29th April. If you get the Sky Movies Month Pass before 29th April as a new customer, you will get the first month free and the second at the current price of £8.99.
What do you get with the Entertainment Month Pass?
You will get access to both live and catch-up content of selected Sky’s channels including Sky Atlantic with its shows like “Mad Men” and “Game of Thrones”.
