So does that mean APAT events are now going to be £75 + £7.50 + £5 ?

Only if feedback supports it Andrew, and in that scenario for seats reserved in advance. Not for seats bought at the venue or for seats won online.

Hi Des, what I meant before was if you won a seat (which will be x+x buy in) would you get the £5 refunded?

Thing is it will stop people just reserving seats for events which they know they are not likely to attend and stop the massive amount of drop outs. Des, Leigh and the guys do such a great job of keeping those threads up to date and ensuring that we are kept up to speed with the situations we forget how much work is involved for them.
This service will not be required for the vast majority of events either. These days most events just do not sell out and you can feel totally comfortable just turning up and paying the buyin.
If the £5 cuts down the workload for the APAT organizers then it is fair enough really. If it helps keep the events running as they do then I support it.

I don"t think this is a great idea tbh, regardless of the merits of this it just doesn"t have the right "APAT" feel to it. Can"t see a casual player being too impressed.
I"m not a fan of the forum based seat reservation for the reasons outlined, but I believe it could work and cut down on admin if structured better. I.e.
- Seats reserved on first come, first served basis as per current process. These players have until a certain date (i.e. 2 weeks prior) to pay the full buy-in.
- Any seats not paid for are wiped and offered to the waiting list for another set period of time.
- Any remaining then given to the host casino for first come, first served their end.
If there is adequate reporting of who"s paid then any manual admin only needs to be done at each cut-off point. The above could be built into the website and be automated by someone with decent coding knowledge. Ignoring the payment side a simple automated reservation list publicly available would be pretty simple to knock up so that APAT doesn"t have to read and edit every single post made.
Some of the above might be impossible depending on payment processors/money transfers etc, but automating a reserved list seems like a quick and relatively easy fix to me?
