Opti-Burr Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I signed up for a one month subscription with Flomarching on July 13th and watched most of the webcasts after that date. I had to cancel my credit card on August 13th because it was stolen and now I see that Flomarching has downgraded my account to the "basic" status. I'm wondering if they can come back at me legally because I never did cancel my subscription and they were unable to charge my credit card for another month.

For several years in a row I was willing to pay a flat price for the season, and it wasn't $150, and I didn't have to remember to cancel anything. I would have paid for one-shot shows, non-subscription style, but that wasn't an option. in previous years on the fan network, it was $99 for the season, and then for finals you had to pay an extra fee. last year i believe they gave you everything for $99. however for $140, I'll take DCI, DCA and WGI for $150 for the entire year. helluva bargain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought the entire year, too and I can't see any reason why we won't renew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriTroop Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I just didn't like their subscription tactics. I didn't like that I couldn't see what I was signing up for exactly before I started providing them with personal information. When I clicked the link I was immediately thrown to a "Join now" or "Log in" screen. Under that it says "Questions? Email us." I poked around and found no information. So...nope. I'm not going to give them my email and other information that they can put in some database. All I wanted to know was: 1) does the subscription end after 1 year or is it eternally renewed unless I take action, and 2) if they had rewind/playback during the broadcast. That was one of the most important features for me in previous years because I sometimes had to walk away from longer broadcasts to take care of work or family issues. I agree that the price wasn't particularly unreasonable, as long as it had the features I wanted for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted most BOA days i'm tied up with my local circuit, so i can't guarantee i'll watch much of that, especially during the peak of college football season, but WGI i checked out a lot of stuff, thrilled to have DCA as an option as I refuse to go to Rochester for many years, and for DCI...well...there's no other choice. I'll admit i was a bit of an ### to Flo a few times on social media. Finals week there was one small glitch. granted having Tom Blair and crew there had to be a plus, but it continued to get better after the truly disastrous oklahoma show. Flo also took a beating WGI guard week and percussion was much better. So here's hoping when they sit down with DCI after the season, info is shared and a few points hammered home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I had heard the horror stories with Flo before I signed up, so I went in with very low expectations. But they were not so bad overall, imo. Its not a first rate outfit, but it was ok, and filled the need reasonably well. I wish they had playback, pause, fast forward feature, but they don't. So I cancelled this morning, and the cancel request seems to have gone smoothly so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had very few issues with flomarching. We use a roku and access through the flosports app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommynev Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I paid the $150 because I wanted to see every broadcast as well as BOA and WGI. Flo was definitely not perfect (a lot of the broadcasts had underwhelming sound), but i rarely had buffering issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
