Boys- The guys who own the commercial rights to the Rugby World Cup, Premium Sports, are insisting we sign a contract which includes the following MANDATORY cover charge language, I am guessing courtesy of a national chain which you can guess: Entrance Fee: Subscriber agrees to charge $20.00 per patron, per day regardless of the number of matches on any given day. Business Subscriber expressly agrees that it shall not offer or return to any patron the equivalent of the $20.00 cover charge that is charged to each patron whether in the form of free drinks and/or food, gift card, certificate, voucher, or similar coupon. Business Subscriber agrees that the $20.00 cover charge is a separate fee and shall not be connected to any aforementioned credits or offers in any way whatsoever so as to circumvent the intent of this Agreement and this mandated $20.00 cover charge. Business Subscriber further agrees that a breach of this provision shall be considered a material breach of the Agreement and shall allow Premium Sports, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement, including the discontinuation of the Broadcasts being licensed herein to Business Subscriber. Anyway, I think mandating I charge my customers is total crap, especially after I shell out $5000 to purchase these games. Our plan is to opt out of the original showing of these PPV games. I hope you will all express your displeasure at this extortion to both Premium Sports (_charles@premiumsports.tv_ (mailto:charles@premiumsports.tv) or 415-400-4869) and the only chain in town if you are forced to watch there. This is a bad deal for the Denver rugby community and a terrible way to grow viewership of our sport. Sorry we can't show this for free as originally planned. We will still have the US games and Finals. Berzins Mark Berzins Lead Dog Little Pub Company (303) 517-6994 _www.littlepubco.com_ (http://www.littlepubco.com/)
