So, I called DirecTV and told them that I wanted to drop my premium package (the 115 a month pack) down to the 65 a month pack to offset my purchase of the 199 Sunday Ticket..

The dude said that rather than do that, he would give me Sunday ticket for what turned out to be about 40 bucks if I kept my premium pack..

So, if you have DirecTV, call them, tell them you want to downgrade your package, and when they say why, say you are doing it to offeset the cost of Sunday Ticket, and they will cut the ticket cost..

I just did it.
