NBA League Pass 2017-2018: ~$109AUD via Mexico VPN ($299 Locally)

1930

Its that time of year again…
NBA League Pass is open again for 2017-2018!

You can sign up locally for a pretty un-ozbargain $299, or you can sign up via a VPN to Brazil for ~$112.34

Regarding purchasing from India:

Have seen another forum site where people have signed up via India. Requires a VPN to be on whenever using the service though. Still no joy for me with the India League Pass sub via PayPal payment. No sub showing in League Pass account. Reckon something wrong there. Credit card seems the best payment method if other sites are anything to go by.

Update:
$109 via Mexico VPN. Thanks for everyone who pointed this out.

        i get that annoying game is unavailable message for some archived games though

          I always get that! I usually have to close the app and reopen again or even worse reboot the CC :(

        Whats a chromecast? is it that usb thing? isn't that outdated? since my laptop has chromecast and all tv's come built with chromecast these days?

        excuse my ignorance

        • Its a device that you plug into your HDMI port of your TV that allows you to interact, stream, or control an app from your phone or computer. It basically means you fire up the NBA, select your game, then hit cast and it plays on the chromecast.

    • Yes, there is an NBA app on PS4. From what I recall I had to create a USA PSN account and download it from PSN USA as it wasn't available on PSN AU.

      Just found a thread on here: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2315135

      • Us App is for Us only, spoke to them NBA at start of last season and they said the app would be coming to australia but for the meantime create a non US, american PSN and downlooad the app. Canada worked for me.

    • You need to sign up for a Brazil PSN, then download the app from the Playstation Store. This works for me on my PS3 and have known to work in PS4 as well.

  • Screw you Danny Ainge for giving away Pick #1 next season.

    • +1

      It might not be pick number 1. I don't think the nets will be the worst team in the league. Especially with other teams like Chicago tanking.

      • They would be far from the worst with Lin, DLo, Crabbe and Mozgov. May still fall short from playoffs but should be league average at worst.

        • league average? Haha they'll be awful. Not as bad as Chicago but fkng awful no doubt. Pick should be seeded between #3 and #6

        • +1

          @murphy84: Rofl, not that I am a Nets fan but I guess we will find out ;).

        • @MadMaxBargainRoad:

          I am a diehard celtics fan. like so diehard that we go over for the playoffs each year ;)
          And because of the pick situation I've followed them closely for the past few years as you can imagine.
          They will be very, very awful except they won't be trying to tank which will get them 7 to 12 more wins than Chicago. Probably not more than 25 wins though ;)
          Trust me.

  • I received a subscription renewal email today for a one team subscription for $80.99CAD. I purchased it last year via a VPN and paid thru PayPal. I no longer have a VPN so does that mean th $80 will just be deducted from PayPal again this year. I just don't want any nasty surprises.

    • Email them and try to cancel your subscription. They'll sweeten the deal and make it a 20% discount.

  • I can never get this to work, always show $269.99 for me. Using Getflix VPN, does not matter if I connect to India or Mexico. Any tips?

    • Maybe, try clearing your browser history. Or even the league pass' local storage.

    • Try clearing your cache or using another browser. I just used edge/IE instead of chrome (chrome didn't work after turning the vpn on) and it worked fine.

      • I used the non smart VPN server on Getflix and it worked for me. Thanks for the suggestions.

  • if anyone is looking for a VPN to use, i'd recommend "windscribe" - they have a free service.
    Very quick to download & easy to use.

    I used it last year to purchase league pass from canada for the year (i think i paid around $120 AUD for the season last year).

  • Awesome! Just signed up using Mexico for $109 AUD (Used nord VPN, which I already had)

    I spent all of last season paying $45 a month or whatever it was for god knows why.

  • Any blackouts or you can watch every game from any team live?

    And what's the quality like? 720p?

    Thanks

    • +1

      No blackouts last year so I can't see why there would be any this year. Quality wise I found the chromecast and android tv app to be best quality. Web browsers are fairly average quality imo.

    • +1

      On iPad I believe the max quality was 720p:
      720p ~60fps (or maybe ~50fps, not sure anymore) 6000kbps
      720p ~30fps (or maybe ~25fps, not sure anymore) 4500kbps

      The stream is adaptive so it depends on your net speeds

    Hey OP do I have to use a VPN everytime I want to access this? Or is it just for the payment?

    • +2

      Literally answered in the first comment…

  • Please tell me how to do this. How to make vpn and how to subscribe with that vpn. Thanks

  • I purchased it with VPN via Mexico.

    It successfully went through. But when I login to the iOS app without the vpn it's not showing on my account and asks me to upgrade to league pass

    • It only works when I connect with the VPN to Mexico.

      Is that because I'm in Hawaii at the moment?

      Edit: Just tried NZ VPN and its working on that as well. Hopefully it will work in Australia when I get back

      • yeah im pretty sure you have to be outside the states otherwise you get that msg

  • I'm a bit behind the 8-ball when it comes to VPNs. Any ideas as to which one to use?

    I'm happy to pay for a reliable one if it is a decent price.

  • Wow $299 locally? The price has gone up!

    • +1

      Down actually was close to 400 last season

      • Wow really? I thought a few seasons ago it was $199. That could have been a long time ago now I guess.

  • when i try to renew via mexico using nordvpn it's saying that i already have an existing account and to email customer support for assistance…any ideas?? do i need to signup with a new email??

    • +1

      Someone posted above about emailing them to cancel their existing sub, so they could renew

      • cheers i'll do that

    • He Jimmy, I signed up with an existing account (I only set it up previously when they had a free 2 week trial) and everything worked out fine.

      I paid via PayPal.

      • i'll see what i can do. didn't seem paypal would work for me. cheers

    • Mine is going to expire on the 29/9 anyways so i'll just sign up next week :)

  • /reddit nbastreams for casual nba fans

    • YouTube 10-12 minute full highlight videos I find are more than enough for me. Don't have time to watch full games anymore!

      • +1

        Ditto, full length games take up so much time. The thing I hate about those compacted highlights is they focus on buckets/dunks and not much else.

        These days though, it feels like every play gets posted to reddit even before the play happens.

        • Seriously when there are 6+ games on a day and I like to see the results of a lot of teams, those youtube highlights will get you through an hour workout!

  • Just saved me from paying $40 a month!

    Used VORD VPN, Free 3 day trial (google it).

    Wooohoooo!

  • +2

    tunnelbear is a good vpn to use as well.

  • I am trying to renew my subscription by using Mexico but it says that "You already have an active subscription. If you need further help, please contact customer support." Has anyone else got this message who had league pass last year? How did you get around it?

    • Sorry, just read the other users with the same problem.

      • So, what's the best resolution with this situation?

        1) With an existing, but about to expire active subscription, you need to email a request not to renew (eg. Canada) and then try again and subscribe a la Mexicano?

        2) Or, email to cancel your existing subscription, so you don't get billed again there, but go ahead and create a new NBA Pass account (different email) and then go via Mexico?

        • I emailed them asking if I could cancel so I can "switch packages" and they offered 10% off to keep me.

          Waiting for them to cancel still.

        • @unco: i requested a cancellation and they offered me 20% off.

        • @jimmy coona: they didn't offer me the 20 per cent so it's Mexico for me!

        • +1

          Just wait until the 29th when ur current subscription finishes then sign up.

    So good to see so many Australian NBA fans. I'm 30 years old, and back in high school it felt like nobody outside of my circle of friends followed NBA. It's come a long way in that time.

    Also, Kawhi for MVP.

  • Newbie with the VPN and league pass thing.. can someone please help..
    1. Can i use my australian credit card in paying for the league pass subscription
    2. It is asking for my billing address. Should i give my australian address or use a random mexican address? - maybe use one of the narco trafficante address. 😜

    Appreciate your help.

    • +1

      I'm a noob and did it (albeit 2 years ago though) using Getflix, via Canada. Apart form logging in via Getflix, everything else went through as though I was signing up normally (real contact details, real credit card etc). I only needed to use Getflix once, for signing up. After that, I could log in directly, no issues. More importantly, no issues re security or anything.

      • All good mate. Now subscribed

        • I'm a Getflix user too but don't think they have a Mexico server available do they? Anyone achieved Project Mexico using Getflix?

        • +1

          @fookos: get a NordVPN free 3 day trial. That'll make it easier.
          I use ProtonVPN, but they didn't have a Mexican server. Sorted in minutes via Nord…Now back to Proton for normal use

    • Hey Macky1012 did you end up using an aus credit card and aus billing address to sign up?

  • Is it possible to share a subscription?

    • tried sharing with a mate was 3-4 years ago but it logged us out each time the other person signed in

      • My mate was using apple tv and i could use my sub at the same.time. i think i was using kodi addon

  • Strange, I tried to use PayPal and it said, "We are unable to accept PayPal payments at this time".

    Anyone else get that?

    • im getting it when paying with Peso or USD.

      ANy way arond it?

    Brilliant timing for post was looking at nba options. Almost tempted enough to get a foxtel subscription on telstra mobile. Worked well

  • Awesome!!

  • +1

    Signed up using free Hola VPN extension in Chrome

    1,499.99 MXN =105.728AUD

    No issues. logged into the NBA app on my Samsung phone and NBA league pass website on my laptop. don't even need a VPN turned on.

    winning!

    • +2

      Turn off hola and change your password. It is known for sharing your connection with other people and generally being a bit shady. But i agree it is the quickest way for those without a vpn/proxy otherwise.

  • Went to cancel auto renewal. Got offered 20% off the CAD price. Think ill go mexico anyway

  • Thx OP. All signed up… :P

  • Has anyone paid with PayPal, or are you all using the credit card option (and if so, are you using your real billing address)?

    I can't pay with PayPal and keep getting, "We are unable to accept PayPal payments at this time".

  • +1

    I bought the India deal for $20 bucks. I have PIA subscription for next 2 years, so from you-tube 10 mins highlights to watch any game is not a bad deal. thanks OP :)

  • Thanks, signed up via Mexico VPN using 28 degree card, turned out to be AU$106.1

    • Did you enter a Mexican billing address, or your actual billing address (associated with the card)?

      • used Paypal

        • Thanks. Wonder why not accepting PayPal for me…

          I ended up creating a new NBA account and PayPal worked just fine.

  • thanks.

  • cash rewards cash back of 7% for me also.

  • Assuming this is for Premium?

    • I think there's only one tier these days - as of last season?

  • Anyone know how much Indonesia is?

    • I'm guessing it's expensive to buy an entire country.

      • Not as expensive as Sydney property, though.

  • Connected to Mexico via NordVPN, but when i go back to the NBA league pass page, its always $299 AUD. ideas?

    edit: it was Google Chrome that kept revertig back to Aust.

    So i tried Safari, and it gave me $119 AUD on a mexico vpn. THought it was $109, gone up already??

    edit2: Tried Firefox and it gave me the option of 1499.99 MXN Peso which is $106 AUD.
    However when i tried to submit, it says my promo code is wrong (eventhough nothing has been entered)

  • +1

    After signing up with vpn, will it work in nba app? Thanks

    • +1

      Yes, it works as normal after you purchase. VPN is only required for sign up as NBA league pass is international and can we used without restriction.

      • Thanks so much.
