Quick question - one of the Lancashire contingent has paid the £5 reserve-a-seat fee but now can"t guarantee to be at the casino before the cards are in the air. Would I be able to pay for him at the cash desk and his chips be put in play from the start ?

To clarify -
the Eventbrite "reserve a seat" facility guarantees a player a seat for a cost of £5 which needs to be paid immediately to Eventbrite - this fee is non-refundable whether the player turns up or not.
thereafter, those who have used Eventbrite need to register within the timeframe at the venue and pay the full buyin of £75+£7.50 there and then, in person, otherwise they would have to take the chance of getting in as a Late Entry (if the event is not full - but I strongly believe it will be) which can be up to and including the first break (after 3 levels of play) or as an Alternate (if the event is full) which can be up to and including the first break if a seat becomes available before play re-commences - an "Alternates List" will be maintained on a first-come-first-served (in person) basis.

So paying £5 to guarantee a seat doesn"t actually guarantee a seat.

It does - it guarantees you your seat without having to turn up on the day and hope for the best - but you have to pay for it - on time - and if you haven"t paid for it, on time, you lose it
Scousebill:
I"m finding this difficult to understand what the issue is here...
£5 guarantees you a seat, which you have to pay for in advance of the tournament starting.
It does not guarantee you a seat for you to turn up and pay within 5 minutes of the first break.
But I think we have gone a long way from what ian.ski309 initially asked... "Can he pay the entry fee for his friend because he does not think he might make it in time, or does it have to actually be paid in person by the actual cardplayer?"

Ian, thinking further on this (now that I"ve clarified the position on pre-bought-in players do NOT have to register on the day an chips will remain in play) - as long as the venue requirements are met (eg does a player need to show ID to register) then yes, as long as a player "is registered and bought in" then their chips will remain in play - and a player does not need to register in person from an APAT pov (again I emphasise subject to meeting any requirements of the venue)
