Season Seven Seat Reservation
suzanne:
What does this mean exactly?
but the merchandising fees are prohibitive on an £82.50 transaction
suzanne:
If someone has paid the fiver but cant make it/forgets etc...are the chips put on the table to blind away?
If not how long does the reservation last?
I ask because I am not the greatest at getting there on time but would hate to set out not knowing i had a seat :)

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 agree with Dave. Feels like dropping the ball. Not sure how you attract new players to the fold with tournaments costing more for committed players than others who aren"t prepared or able to commit.
It"s backwards to the hotel idea - i.e. with them if you commit and pay early you get your room cheaper. The later you leave it the more it costs or it"s just sold out.
With this plan loyalty and commitment to APAT will be costlier. Where"s the sense in that?
Why can"t we just BACS the cash to an APAT bank a/c, and you then BACS it to the casino say 5 days before, then the remaining seats go on sale at the casino? Any drop outs need to seat transfer or forfeit if no takers. There must be a flaw in that I guess!
BOINGBLITZ:
I don"t really understand why we can"t return to the old system where the seats go onsale on a certain date and if you want in then you BUY one, not reserve one.
If not, then use what Andy says in that you pay £75 to enter up until say 2-3 weeks before the event. After that the cost goes up to £80.
I don"t believe it is fair to charge (possibly) 8 x £5 for loyalty for a season......and of course, when the WCOAP came around, that could / will mean you would pay an extra £30-£40 for the whole series on top of this??
No No No.

Nope
All the £5 does is guarantee your name on the list. If you don"t turn up on time to buy-in on the day your name comes off and you"re SOL.
No chips on the table until the buy-in is done.
