I wrote to MX-Life to ask why we can't purchase video access to the race without having to buy the "Free" T shirt and shipping?
"Dear Gentlemen,
I think that I speak for many when I say that is has been a privelage to be able to purchase my GP Pass access to the FIM Motocross rounds this past season. I live in the US, and have been happy to be able to purchase access to each round that included 2 stroke motorcycles (EMX 125)+ FERMO) for $4.20 each.
I attend many AMA Nationals here during out Motocross season, and while many people I know cannot imagine going to a race without purchasing a T Shirt, I have never felt that way. It is the race action that I'm interested in, not the T Shirt.
Nothing is "Free" everyone knows that. The $35.00 + purchase price for "Motocross De Nations" video access DOES NOT reflect "$35.00+ Dollars to watch the race + a FREE T Shirt!"... It's more like Wholesale on (Shirt+Shipping+Video Access to the Race) with a thick margin of profit spread all over each of those things...
Can't you offer us an option where we purchase Video Access to the Race BY ITSELF, with a thick margin of profit in there for you???
One would think it would be no problem for MX-Life to profit hansomely on Video Access ONLY at a cost of 10 Euros... I'd gladly pay 12.5 Euros if I had to. But, to get dragged into this deal approaching USD$40.00 with the T Shirt and all that seems a bit much!
Don't give us anything free! We want to pay to see a race! Just don't make us buy more than we want... Please allow us to exercise options... There will be enough moto suckers who buy beads and trinkets, there always are...
Thanks,
Jim"
Who knows they probably don't give a damn because they got a cheap deal on a run of shirts and somebody sees an opportuninty to insert and HUGE margin of profit in there.... but why not write to them and ask?
