Season Seven Seat Reservation
Des:
We"ve had a disappointing situation here at Wembley, with only around 50 of the 80 odd players on the this morning"s reserve list turning up by kick off. Not good for our credibility with DTD I"m afraid, who had already allocated APAT the smallest pod as to quote one of the managers "we know what your players are like". I"d prefer if we had more options available, but I feel we"re being pushed into a corner on this with an outcome like today and we may well need you guys to work with us on this going forward.
Laxie:
Maybe a system of fines for people who reserve and then cancel? If they fail to pay the fine, they lose their right to reserve in future. That way you"re not penalising everyone who turned up.

V. disappointing..especially the comment from anyone associated with DTD. That"s the one place where we need a good rep.
vulcan107:
If 80 odd players paid an additional non-redeemable fiver and 50 only turned up, would that make it less disappointing. In a highly competitive market like poker, is it a wise move to make a charge to put a lock on a seat. It may only be a fiver, but a casual player looking around for a game will think twice as to whether APAT offers the value as other games without the levy.
If you want to accurately know how many seats are taken revert back to a click-fest or take the money up front. Allowing players to cancel via the seat exchange or a simple unregister.

FWIW It"s disappointing but for me, both this event & the main event was way out of my bankroll & expenses. It"s sad because it"s a great idea but surely this was aimed at the grass roots to create the volume & sadly the cost was not grassroots imo.
