Hey GiMac, I"m not sure I can agree it is madness - the Eventbrite "reserve a seat" facility allows those who wish to take this option to reserve a seat, yes at an additional cost of £5, months in advance of the event - at that point the exact details of the event will not be known, many discussions still need to be conducted with the venue - capacity, event timings etc - most things that the venue cannot confirm that far in advance - as things start to firm up and we can give you guys more "meat on the bones" of the event then that is when it is available to buyin in full in advance of the event - if at this point the finer details turned out not to suit you, and you only reserved a seat via Eventbrite, then that saves you losing the buyin and you can change your plans where it won"t cost you the buyin in full.
So Eventbrite allows you, if you wish, to spend £5 and guarantee your seat without committing the full buyin amount months in advance when the finer details of the event haven"t been confirmed.

Sorry I disagree and i refer you to the other thread in general reference to my views on reservation vs advance purchase. And if something arose that meant someone couldn"t attend we do have a seat exchange marketplace here so it"s highly unlikely and I am not aware of anyone who has ever lost their full buyin, as we can just sell our seats on there.

However, the ONLY remaining seats available are with the venue - these can be purchased at the venue, or over the phone with them - I would suggest the best time to call is around 7-8pm when the poker room usually opens.

When contacted they advised that they thought APAT had requested the seats they had to be returned and were not aware of any seats that were available for direct buy in locally.

Well I can only take the blame for that myself - apologies - after deciding that it would be better to have those tickets available for sale here (forum or whatever) to our members rather than locally to locals - although, for whatever reason, I couldn"t get it confirmed by the venue last night - although you obv did (well, at least you were advised we wanted them back). Once my venue poc calls me and confirms exact details (names of those who have bought locally, amount spare etc) then I will advise everyone asap of available tickets and how to get them.

+1...I spoke to someone at the Alea and was told the same as I"d offered to buy in GiMac over the counter at the Alea.

My son informed me last night that he had purchased one from the casino,
assuming he is telling truth!
