Buying a season pass?

Hi,
If buy a season pass for a TV show on iTunes, and you have already previously purchased individual episodes, will the price of the individual episode already purchased be deducted from the cost of the season pass?
Also has anyone ever had a problem with a season pass after updating iTunes?
Thanks.

It's likely that even more people haven't had problems and just haven't bothered to come here and say, "Hey, season passes work for me!". On a tech support forum, you're going to hear about problems. I've purchased a number of season passes and had no problems. I really like the convenience.
Best of luck.

  • Buying TV season passes and then the show is cancelled?

    What happens if you buy a season pass and the TV show is cancelled?
    I purchased a season pass for Fringe this morning on my Apple TV, but having just seen the overnight ratings (2.1), I've realised it might not get a full season order.
    Do Apple credit your account in this case? If so, when?
    (P.s I know I'm jumping the gun, but I'm curious)

    They refunded my multi-pass for The Tonight Show back when NBC pulled out of the iTunes store, so I would expect them to do the same for a season pass if a show is canceled mid-season. If that happens, find the season pass in your iTunes purchase history, click on the "Report a Problem" button, and raise the issue with them.

  • I'm having trouble buying a season pass for The Americans. I have purchased passes to Justified for the past 4 years with no problem. Can't figure out why this purchase won't work.

    What is the problem that you are having ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

  • If I already have episodes downloaded then buy a season pass will I be charged the whole price?

    I have already bought tv episodes on a current tv series, but if I buy the season pass for that series will I be charged the full season pass price? Or will I just be charged with the episodes I do not have yet?

    To quote a previous answer by AHXtreme42...
    If you purchase a Season Pass for a TV show season, which you already own many or all of those episodes of that season, you WILL pay the full price for all of the episodes of the season, and it will probably download again the episodes you already have.
    It doesn't work like complete my album, where you get the price off the songs you already bought.
    So, to get the best deal, buy the season pass at the very start of the season.
    If you already have lots of episodes for a season, it is best to purchase the rest of the episodes of the season individually, if the total cost of all of those individuals is less than the season pass price.
    Sorry!

  • I messed up when I bought the second season of Game of Thrones recently. I wanted to buy the season pass but it seems I bought the first four episodes instead. Is there any way of upgrading to the season pass, without having to download those I have?

    I messed up when I bought the second season of Game of Thrones recently. I wanted to buy the season pass, but it seems I bought the first four episodes instead. Is there any way of upgrading to the Season Pass now, without having to download those first four episodes again? Don't think my download limit will cope! Thanks for your advice.

    Not that I am aware.

  • When you buy a season pass for a TV show, do you rent or own the videos?

    I want to get get a TV show, but I was curious if I got a season pass, do I own the videos, or are they just being rented to me?

    Hi!
    If you buy a season pass of a show, you own it. You can download each episode from within the season as it becomes available by clicking on "downloads" in iTunes. Hope this helps!

  • Can I use a gift card to buy a season pass?

    I have some iTunes giftcards that I would like to use to buy season passes. However, when I click to buy the season I would like, it doesn't give me an option to choose how to pay; it simply pops up a screen that says confirm you would like to buy xyz.  Is there an option to buy with a gift card?  Does it come up on a later screen? I don't want to committ myself by clicking that I want to buy unless I can use my giftcard, so I haven't proceeding any farther yet.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    you mean iTunes gift card ? if yes, you can't.

  • When buying a season pass to a tv show how can I Download select episodes?

  • Missing episodes after buying a season pass to a TV series

    I bought a season pass for Vampire Diaries Season 4 and the clowns at iTunes have released episode 15 before episodes 12, 13 & 14. I started watching the downloaded episode before realising it was the wrong one - massive spoilers!!! How do I get the missing episodes? Who do I contact to find out why they haven't released or sent over the earlier episodes? I'm really hacked off at this rubbish excuse for service.

  • What happens if you buy a season pass for eight tv show episodes but Discovery cancels the show after four episodes?

    Hi,
    I bought a season pass for eight episodes of the tv show World's Toughest Trucker. Discovery cancelled the show after four episodes. My purchase was made after the show had been cancelled but I didn't know that at the time. The missing four episodes do exist, as the show was produced and shown in the UK. Help.

    Considering the hundreds of people that use this forum and likely bought a season today alone it really isn't an unanswerable question. However I'll take the lack of an answer as ineptitude rather than ignorance.

  • TV Shows Season Pass New Episodes Gone from Check for Available Downloads

    I was informed today from iTunes Support that new episodes that become available will no longer come through the Store > Check for Available Downloads option in iTunes.  If you notice in your email alerts for the new episode's availability, it now says the new episode is found in your Purchased items in Itunes in the Cloud. 
    I was also told that if I checked the options "show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" in iTunes > Preferences > Store tab, that I could just see the new episodes in my Library under TV Shows.  I used to have this option and could access the new episodes and download them this way, but that option is now GONE as well from iTunes.  I am awaiting feedback from my Senior Support Rep as to what is wrong there. 
    I have been simply going to the iTunes Store > Purchased > TV Shows and clicking the "Not on this computer" option in the upper right.  I have to go show by show and click "Download" or "Download All".  I have almost 15 Season Passes at any one time.  This is a completely horrible way of downloading them. 
    When the new episodes were evailable via the "Check for Available Downloads" Option, I had my iMac scheduled to restart every morning around 4am Central.  That was about 2 hours after the date/time stamp of the email notifications.  Since iTunes was always set to start at login, it would automatically check for available downloads, and then download all the new episodes.  I then had a cloning process scheduled that would clone my primary iTunes Media drive to a backup iTunes Media drive.  That way if one fails I always have an up to date copy. 
    This new method totally screws up how slick this whole process worked.  I understand streaming and the cloud is the direction they are taking here, but this is completely an about face.  I want the new episodes available locally.  I want it downloaded when I am asleep and always available locally when I want to watch.  That way I dont have to worry about my internet availability.  Storm can knockout my internet.  The construction down the road can cut the optical cable.  I may loose my internet due to a problem with the ISP.  Having the files locally allows me to watch them worry free, buffer free, and when I want to. 
    I urge those who are annoyed by this change to provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I really hope this decision to remove this functionality is not a sign to come.  Next I will be downloading each song one by one when I buy an album because I can just stream it in the cloud. 
    I love my Apple products and servies.  But this totally makes me hate them right now. 

    I am so angry right now I can not even see straight.  So the "Show iTunes Purchases Option" out of the blue showed up in iTunes this morning. I dont know if a reboot fixed it or what. But the attached screen shows the lack of that feature along with the iTunes version. 
    So I am not freaking crazy.  So I turned it on this morning to pick up 3 new episodes.  I get home tonigth and sit down on my couch with my Apple TV ready to roll... and it has completely screwed my "watched" vs "unwatched" episodes.  I come to my iTunes library on my iMac and sure enough TV Shows and Movies I know I have not watched or started are marked as watched.
    I have not watched a single episode of The Following Season 1, and it basically shows I have watched all but the latest 4 shows.   I have not watched the last several episodes of Revenge, and it says I have not watched only the last episode.  I am guessing as to where I left off, but it looks like Episode 13 was the last episode I watched and iTunes said I had only not watched Episode 19.  Vikings Season 1 - I have not watched a single show, but it shows I have watched all but the last 2 episodes, 8 & 9. 
    Movies - I have bought and downloaded many movies that I have not watched as of yet.  For instance: Django Unchainted, and all 3 Matrix Movies.  I have watched a couple of the Matrix movies but not all the way through.  But I had gone back and marked them as "unwatched"  Everything else I had not even touched to hit play or nothing.  These are all purchases. 
    I hunted down all the episodes and movies I knew I had not watched... which took me quite a while... and then when I close and re-open iTunes and at least the watched/unwatched TV shows stayed as I marked them.  This was not the case when this feature was first rolled out with iTunes 11.  That is exactly why I never used this feature in the first place.  Time will tell if it remains stable with the watch/unwatched situation. 
    Regardless, I am so tired of taking time out of my day and writing iTunes support and giving Apple feedback so they can perhaps look into it and see if its a larger issue than just my library.  So they can also maybe realize that some of us actually love their product and want to see them continue to working awesome, slick, and incredible. But as someone who is looking at 8 active season passes.... I may never buy a season pass from iTunes again.  The reason why EVERYONE still has a TV antenna and/or cable is because the basic concept of how you watch the programming DOESNT CHANGE.   They should take this feedback simply as TV shows are not like Movies and Music.  TV shows happen weekly.  Having a consistent and repeatable process to get the shows and watch them each week is paramount. 
    I am usually very good with change and enhancements.  But this one.... has completely made me an irate Apple Customer.

  • Why is no season pass available for Big Bang Theory Season 6 in the Australian iTunes Store?

    Season 6 of The Big Bang Theory is now showing in the Australian iTunes Store. So far only one episode is available.
    Where the "Buy Season Pass" button usually is, it instead says, "Partial Season". I can't see any option to buy a season pass.
    Why is this? What does "partial season" mean? If I buy the one episode available, will I later get the option to "Complete" my season? Will the full season eventually be available?
    Thanks anyone for any light you can shed on this.         

    You would have to ask whomever holds the U.K. distribution rights to the show.

  • When is Apple going to fix the season pass for tv shows (The Walking Dead Season 2 for me)?

    Apple do you ever plan on fixing the season pass system?
    I can not download The Walking Dead episode three. This isn't the first show this has happened to me.
    It's frustrating since one would think you would work extra hard to make sure your season pass holders are happy. Afterall we pay for a whole season up front as compared to your other customers and the savings we get from buying a season pass are minimal. It's not like we are paying half off the season price.
    A little consideration in regards to those of us paying up front would be appreciated.

    Feedback falls on deaf ears, it would seem, given I know that many of us have used that avenue.  And no, I haven't noticed the other 90+ missing features, as I am unable to use the program due to it not being compatible with Endnote.  And yes, at present I am using Pages 09 whilst waiting for a fix. 
    I don't at all mean to diminish the importance of anyone elses frustration and complaint about a feature that has gone or no longer works.  This one is mine .  And for me and a large number of users it makes the program unusable.  Endnote is a program used by many universities and other institutions and relied on by many staff and students worldwide.  I just think that when an issue means you can no longer use the software, I would have hoped for some sort of indication from Apple that there will be a fix.  But perhaps the features you mention also make the program unusable?
    Anyway, maybe I'll give a review a go......

  • Previous Purchases not applied to Season-Pass or Multi-Pass?

    I’ve purchased 15 episodes of Lost, Season 2, and when I try to buy a Season Pass for that Season, the iTunes Store wants me to buy these episodes again. Since iTunes is adding the Season-Pass or Multi-Pass in the middle of the season, I would think they would apply what I’ve purchased so far to the Season Pass. What do you Think?

    Just keep on buying episode by episode - previously purchased episoded aren't applied to to a multi-pass in order to reduce its price.
