Champions League Final

APAT
£75 seat, Expensive drink, dodgy food, Excellent compnay, priceless

TBH I will know most of the people there, and also hopefully witness a great final. Still disappointed to be missing Cardiff though, as it is the city of my only live APAT cash!

[BrummieGreg]

Are there actually only 120 seats available? Do the seats usually sell fast? My first one you see.

What is the torny structure? How many chips and what are the blind levels?

[Paulie_D]

I would assume that there may be a few more seats available via satellite etc than the 120. Perhaps 150 overall.

10,000 chips and 45 minute levels.

Full structure can be found with a little research on the APAT website.

Is your CL seat going on the Seat Exchange!?

Just looked on the 888 website and there are varying details as to when the APAT welsh championship and the UK pub poker championship are being held. they have the dtaes the other way round- and the welsh leg advertises the start of registration at 22.00 hours and that the tournament starts 22nd May in the box but 25/26 June at the top of the page- I emailed them to check and have just been told that the 25/26 June is the correct date- I assume the details on this site are correct, but is it 21.00 hrs or 22.00 Hrs start  for the registration?
