Ticket Prices Out Of Fucking Control!

[twistedvincent]

JESUS CHRIST!! It was bad enough having to pay 4 tickets for the latest LP (usually DAP) scenes, but 5 FUCKING TICKETS for the new Double Addicted, Belle And Crystal!!!

WTF man!! Am I the only one who thinks this is getting out of control??

Ticket prices have just about doubled since I joined in 2013.

[FunkyF836]

+1

[Pissing]

For a DAP scene I also think 4 tickets is to much.
But for a pissing scene, I would gladly pay 10 tickets.

[rashrob]

This is my first post on the Forum.

I have spent a fortune on LP over the past 2 years and the quality has dropped whilst the ticket prices have continued to increase. I find Giorgio scenes boring since the piss ban. Sineplex has some stunning models but they lack enthusiasm and gonzo is mainly churning out "first" scenes. There are still some great scenes but value for money is decreasing.

I usually clear my tickets quickly and have to prioritise scenes. I have not had this problem lately!

[marcimilan10]

Yea. Giorgi scenes since the piss ban so boring.
Same sex positions same dildo playing at the beggining.

[shark1]

Agree, if pissing was included 5-10 tickets would be acceptable!

[gapefan]

I find Giorgio's work since the piss ban to be his best ever!

I gladly coughed up the 5 tickets yesterday!

INSTANTLY!

But that's just me

I know what you mean, I used to have to pick my scenes carefully and ALWAYS had to buy more but I've had my tickets for months now.
5 tickets for a DAP (or ANY scene) is just taking advantage of us.

[VictorH33]

I, too, am stockpiling my tickets. I think it's the only thing to do.

[Cynewulf30]

5 tickets is just under £3,and if you look at other forms of entertainment, try buying a hollywood movie or watching a 90 minute football match for that price!, and then think about the cost and effort gone in to produce the scenes.I would say we are getting value for money easily.

[twistedvincent]

^Cost? Effort? They're the same scenes with the same positions, in the same order, using the same set, with the same male "talent" that they have since I joined!

DAP scenes were around 3 tickets but are steadily increasing and for what? The only thing that changes are the girls. Between XVideos, XNXX, and Legalporno this company is already making MILLIONS of dollars and there's no reason to keep raping us with ever increasing prices. I almost GUARANTEE they'll be charging 6 tickets for scenes by the end of the year.

And you're seriously comparing an hour long porn scene to a Hollywood movie? C'mon...

[Cynewulf30]

The value depends on how much enjoyment you get out of it, i myself get more enjoyment out of repeatedly watching a 90 minute LP scene that i have bought then your average Hollywood movie that becomes stale after one or two viewings. You clearly don't enjoy what LP produces, you don't like the cost, so why are you still here?

[Boshanks]

I think the pricing is fair and represents good value. In 2013 they didn't consistently release on a daily basis, at least not before the middle of the year. There were days where we got no updates, and others where they'd randomly put up scenes in bunches. The content released included a lot of 1v1, as well as old gg and gapeland content, they did not provide (or very little at least) some of the scene types we see today, 5 and 10v1's, 0% pussy and constant DAP updates. In fact If you recall, around 2014 the pricing was addressed by XXX because of people complaining about it being too much, so your memory of everything costing half as much is wrong. There was a period very early on, in the sites infancy, where everything being released was costing around 1 ticket, it was a ridiculous model that wasn't going to work long term.

As far as his other projects, I don't share your opinion that because money is being made elsewhere savings should therefore be passed on to the customers here to reflect his guesstimated wealth. This is a business that arguably offers the best product in its market, unsurprisingly this comes at a premium. As with every other form of retail, if the cost at the higher end exceeds your budget, there are thousands of alternatives that aren't as good but better reflect your price range.

[twistedvincent]

You clearly don't enjoy what LP produces, you don't like the cost, so why are you still here?

As I've said before, LP is the ONLY game in town for DAP. And thank God I downloaded all the piss scenes 'cause we all know they're long gone.

I'm just running out my tickets on what used to be a decent site and hoping that somebody else starts releasing DAP scenes on a regular basis in the meantime.

After all, LP has shown that there's a BIG market for this type of content.

Fingers crossed....

As for pricing I think given the base cost of membership 3 tickets per scene if fair. The whole "free scene" deal is a scam as they're never updated. The last free scene update was Jan.7th and before that April 2015.

When you put it this way it kind of puts things into perspective somewhat. Where else can I pay 3 quid to get this level of gratification, albeit for an hour? A glass of prosecco is about 4 quid and soon goes, and a trip round the shops will cost me wayyy more. For £3 I get to watch and admire two stunning beauties having insane sex giving me copious enjoyment.

For me, the issue is saying no! Where do I draw the line and resist the amount of content I am being bombarded with? It's a dilemma for me and it does become expensive. December was silly and I spent way too much and started paying for the sake of it. I am trying to be more conservative this month but it's at the expense of missing out on great scenes. My one wish is for a streaming model to be introduced but alas, I doubt it will happen x

[rashrob]

5 Tickets????? There is a high rate of inflation.

[twistedvincent]

You're not kidding....

[TheVulture]

I'm pretty new so I don't know about the history of the prices but I would say it's currently good value.

I view it this way. I have to have all of my porn on a physical DVD (I'm not a "digital"/megabyte kind of person) and historically I've viewed £20 to be decent value for a porn DVD (as long as it's good). That would generally have meant somewhere between 90 and 150 mins with maybe 6 scenes (and of course you don't get to choose them all).

For £20 here I can get 35 tickets, which means about 8-10 scenes. Much more than the 150 mins (although this isn't a big deal to me - quality over quantity etc.) And I choose them all, which doesn't guarantee zero duds but is still a good thing.

There's still some additional cost - just of the blank DVDs/conversion software etc. So not a whole lot. And there's the labour time of burning the discs. But on the plus side I control when I have the discs and can get them done quicker than it would take to wait for the postman (or even get down the sex shop) and can pretty much watch them instantly after purchase.

I haven't calculated the exact amount I've spent since joining but would say about £100 (spread over 3 months) and that has got me about 100 scenes (with maybe 30-40 being the free ticket/free ones), most of which have been excellent and only a few of which have been duds. Can't grumble with that really.

Like others I suppose I would say 5 tickets for a scene is a little high and wouldn't want to see scenes escalate beyond that. But at the current ticket prices I think LP is very good value.

[fighthardin321]

Ya a bit expensive. But NOBODY else does the stuff that LP does ANYWHERE! Bring back good pissing scenes and ill gladly pay 10 tickets each. It brought so much more to each scene.

[twistedvincent]

^10 tickets, that's insane!!

I don't care if it's DAP, PMAO, Piss Drinking, Mega Bukkake.... no fucking way!

If you can afford 10 tickets per scene I want to do what you do for a living...Giorgio.

lol

[zeusanalfreak299]

It´s very simple: The higher the prices become, the more member will decide to get the scenes illegally.

My big problem are not the higher prices. My problem is the worse quality I get for the higher prices. LP changed. And I don´t get as well quality as I got then I became a member anymore. I miss the GG/Sineplex Classic/Firstgape Scenes, where only stunning european pornstars got assfucked in hot positions and great camera angles. The scenes were not in high definition, but I did´t care about it.

Today, the only reason I´m still here are Sineplex SOS and some scenes from Sineplex CZ and Gonzo. But the camera work and choice of angles is by far not as well as in the past. To hectic without long enough moments to enjoy and worse body postures from the actresses. But it´s a topic LP won't understand and realize ever.

Furthermore: I can´t see a difference between a 3on1 and a 10on1. Women have 3 holes to get fucked. So, I think it makes more sense to take the best 2 or 3 guys + invest in better camera work and save the money for the 7 other guys with middle sized dicks!

I miss these moments for the money I leave here:

Nor can I.

Plus for the most part there isn't anymore cum in the 10 on 1 scenes then is in the is in 2 on 1 scenes.... which is unbelievably sad.

[magizi877]

You guys are forgetting how irregular the release schedule was back then. And all the technical issues of old.
The women are just now more diverse, so not all of them are thin teenagers. That's not a bad thing IMO.

And pirating the content just make it more expensive for the rest of us.

[zeusanalfreak299]

The women are just now more diverse

Sorry, but in my opinion a little bit to diverse. There are gangbangs with middle thirty fat housewives (ca. 80-100kg), just because they have big fat tits. It´s very sad. Apart from this, I complained on the camera work as he biggest problem...

And pirating the content just make it more expensive for the rest of us.

I agree, this is the next problem. I don't like it, too, but it´s the result in almost cases.

[bigyimmy007]

I miss these moments for the money I leave here:

That old-school sineplex Black Cock Addiction series is soo insanely hot, especially the Stacy Snake one you screen capped here.

I agree that the camerawork isn't as good as it once was - but i suppose its the price we pay to have constant dap-fap content...

[laura.]

It seems the 5 tickets may becoming the norm now. For me it's all about pricing the scene accordingly depending on the popularity of the girls as well as the hardness and variety of the sex. I had no objections to the 5 tickets allocation for Belle and Crystal because a) They are easily two of the most popular and attractive models and b) you got double dap. For me that was justified. The five tickets allocation for the Krystal and Sara Kay scene is in my opinion overpriced. I bought it because that's what I do and I have a major crush on Sara however their popularity is not at the level of the aforementioned Belle and Crystal. You are also only getting 3 studs for your money and not 4 meaning no double dap.

I am loathe to criticise, particularly Giorgio as he is my 'go to' pornograpgher however I am having to forgo more scenes than usual, for instance I had to decide between this scene and the new Gina one, sadly Gina lost out, for now anyway.

Is it also not a concern that some of the less popular models are not getting the exposure needed to boost their own popularity, because the undecided buyer decides not to because of the price?

Just my opinion xx

[mrbadself]

I am willing to pay higher ticket prices for top notch talent like Samantha and Lara Onyx. Those two are unbelievably sexy.

[vvvv84335]

Maybe you should look at what others sites like clips4sale charge for their content (hint: A LOT more), plus you can only download the scenes ONCE. There are NO screenshots, NO refunds, NO preview trailers.... The trailers and screenshots for these scenes give you a great preview of what the scene contains. As it stands, Legalporno are free to choose their price as there are NO other sites that offer these kinds of scenes. I much prefer the ticket-based model to monthtly subscriptions, that way I can cherry pick which scenes I want and save my other tickets. If it were a subscription based site i may be paying 30 USD and only find a few scenes I actually want. Don't like it? Then don't buy it and wait for the scenes you want to be released.

[twistedvincent]

That's what I do, and am horribly disappointed. I am, as I'm sure many are, a facial fan and because NO performer is able to deliver in that respect they have chosen to not even attempt them anymore for the most part and as in Giorgio's case, actually had to start faking them. This is why as soon as my tickets run out, I'm fucking finished with LP.

[magizi877]

This site is expensive, relative to most porn sites of similar caliber, no matter how you look at it.

Past January was probably among the cheapest months in a while, because most of Sineplex scenes released during last month,
where 1 on 1 kinder garden type scenes available for 2 tkt, their usual price, for the type of scene they are famous for, it's around 4 tkt.

If you count, how many tkt are required to see all the content released during January of 2016, the number is 185.4
The 3 month plan, gives us 120 tkt... So not even then, with the biggest subscription plan you can see everything they offered during January (one month).

YES, if you are a fan of ANAL porn, this is THE porn website to follow. I agree with that sentiment.
But, even if you are among the fans that defend the price, here is an idea. Legalporno should continue pushing the quality of their product higher,
but at the same time, make it available cheaper. WHY? Because this way, more people will be able to afford it.

More people buying it, means more $$$ in the long run.

I don't know what the age is of most of us, paying costumers, but I'm pretty sure, that most porn viewers, CAN'T afford this website.
They just can't... That has to be a problem for LP, right?.

and for the record, I love this website.

[twistedvincent]

^ VERY well said and thought out out magizi, I couldn't have said it better myself. I am 50, and I actually CAN afford it, I would just LOVE it if the scenes justified the high price.

[Boshanks]

I would just LOVE it if the scenes justified the high price.

For some of us they do. The beauty of this setup is we're not locked in to a membership where we're being forced to make do with whatever is provided. I can sit on my tickets for as long as I like, and if I don't think the price is represented in the quality of what's on offer, there's no obligation for me to hang around and I'm free to go elsewhere.

When it comes to the content, If after buying a scene you feel it hasn't justified your outlay, well tough shit, that's something all of us have experienced in every form of retail. It's impossible to build a price model around everyones personal preferences, somebody will always complain about your product whatever the price. How many times have you bought a game, or an album, eaten in a restaurant, or been to see a film, and afterwards thought to yourself, that was shit and didn't warrant what it cost me. How did you respond in those situations? Did you address the company and say: I'm not happy about how my needs were met. I would like you to continue producing content specifically catered to my requirements and tastes, and while you're at it, also take in to account my financial restraits and lower your prices to a level that I can justify. That is an absurd way of thinking.

Magizi, your argument to increase quality and lower cost makes no sense to me, how exactly does that work in pornography? To whose standards do we raise the quality, and at what stage will it ever be sufficient to please everyone and be cost effective for the company. Your point is also based around a customer having entitlement to everything that's released. Guess what, that's not the world we live in. We are all limited by our income as to what we get to enjoy outside of our necessities. If I can't afford the 60+ scenes that get released a month, then I don't get to see them. I'm thankful that there's a system in place where we get to pick and choose what's within our individual budgets, yes you will ultimately miss out on some things, but that's life.

This site is expensive, relative to most porn sites of similar caliber, no matter how you look at it.

Who is of similar caliber to LP ?

[magizi877]

There are many, they just don't cater to these niches

[Boshanks]

Magizi, your argument to increase quality and lower cost makes no sense to me, how exactly does that work in pornography?

1) How about given the BILLIONS of dollars made by Legal Porno and the PIRACY sites Xvideos and Xnxx, offering 1080p after being teased/promised it for a year. Legalporno is the BIGGEST company/site in Europe and still doesn't offer it yet a site 1/8 the size like Dogfart does.
2) How about given the BILLIONS of dollars made by Legal Porno and the PIRACY sites Xvideos and Xnxx, using/offering talent other than angelo/scott/brooklyn, who IMO are sub-standard, in almost every scene.
3) How about given the BILLIONS of dollars made by Legal Porno and the PIRACY sites Xvideos and Xnxx, using something other than the SAME EXACT set that they have used in EVERY scene since the inception of Legalporno.

That's just three off the top of my head.

[Boshanks]

1) They're starting to roll out 1080p and made the first scene available yesterday

2) As I stated in my post, your personal preferences will not be shared by everyone else, eg. I think Mike Angelo and Ian Scott are two of their best performers.

3) This I actually agree with barring the crap about piracy and billions.

As with most of your posts though, vincent, your petulance makes it hard to give a shit about your demands. You stated in another thread that you're over 50 years of age, and yet you convey your grievances like a child. Stating they make billions is ridiculous and based on nothing but guesstimations. Neither of us have any clue as to the owners wealth, nor do we have a grasp on the expenses involved in operating and maintaining a business at this level. Keep stamping your feet though, I'm sure xxx will respond and react positively to your incessant complaining.

Using the forum as a means to post nothing but negativity on a daily basis is in no way helping your cause. You're not a special snowflake and if you're truly unhappy perhaps you should move on.

[twistedvincent]

1080p excellent! What scene? I didn't notice because as I've said, none of the scenes lately have included what I want(facial)and I've not given them a second look.

Now It would be something as simple as having 1 or 2 DAP scenes a week (out of the 14 released between Gonzo & Giorgio)) to have a decent facial at the end and "my incessant complaining" would cease as I can easily get by the same set deal.

Oh BTW, it's NOT a "guesstimation" as to how much they make. Here's what all three are worth (in USD):

LegalPorno - http://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/legalporno.com/ $ 4,020,000

Xnxx - http://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/xnxx.com/ $ 973,000,000

and the BIGGIE!

Xvideos - http://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/xvideos.com/ $ 3,002,500,000 !!! That's BILLION, with a big fat capital B.

[Boshanks]

I have to say I'm shocked at the estimated valuation of those sites That site uses it's own website algorithm to estimate a sites worth, and they do state this in their FAQ

We are totally aware that it is practically impossible to be accurate with these estimations. After all, we are using public ranking systems which are not so accurate in the first place. Then we build our report based on these numbers and on our assumption that website is working on advertising/affiliate revenue model. So please don’t expect anything to be 100% accurate

I'm not sure how this reflects on his personal wealth, but for his sites, and xvideos in particular, my claim of you suggesting billions as a ridiculous figure to throw around was clearly misplaced. My apologies

The 1080p scene is this one http://www.legalporno.com/watch/30750/gorgeous_russian_sluts_sofie_goldfinger_lita_phoenix_double_anal_dap_foursome_sz1160

[twistedvincent]

^ Wow, that's encouraging and only 2.5 tickets! Thank you for calling my attention to it!

I would really like to know how they arrive at a 2.5 ticket cost for that 2 on 2 scene yet charge 3.2 tickets for the 2 on 1 Lara Onyx scene and a whopping 5 tickets for the Kristal Kaytlin, Sara Kay 3 on 2 DAP scene? I just noticed the Proxy Paige scene is up to 5.5 tickets!!
Speechless...
You seem like a reasonable guy. Don't you think that at this rate of inflation it will soon become too much to afford by most? I mean that's not even four scenes for $20.00.
