I"ll take that as confirmation that the transfer is being allowed. I have held off posting this until the transfer went through as it is not meant as an attempt to stop Gordon having Eck"s seat.
Maybe I misunderstood how the reservation system works. I thought the whole point of it was that you blocked a seat so no-one else could buy it but, if you didn"t play, you forfeited the £5 and the seat became available to everyone again. I didn"t think that someone could block a seat, decide not to play and then pass the reservation on to someone else of their choosing and not be out of pocket at all. If passing reservations around is allowed, then imo that is another reason to scrap the reservation idea totally and just have full buy-ins.
To clarify, I don"t have an issue with Gordon having Eck"s seat. In fact, let him have it as it appears that the rules weren"t clear. But could they be clarified for the future, cos I understood them differently to how they are being applied. Or, best option of all, scrap the reservations entirely.

Hey John, no I cannot confirm this at present (and therefore have not updated/changed the list of attendees) - as I"m new to this I"m playing catch up and looking for clarification and will be posting a decision asap - but I personally believe you are correct in that it cannot be transferred and would therefore be on sale on the day when the "reserve a seat person" failed to register on time at the venue. However, as we"ve been informed in advance then this could go on "general sale" on a first-come-first-served basis in advance if indeed the EB person confirms they are happy for us to do this - but as said, will confirm once I can investigate further - that will be tomorrow.

Wot a shambles

jockey I"m not sure what you consider a shambles, if its event seats then:
Players reserved a seat months in advance using Eventbrite
Now we have venue confirmation of numbers, times etc etc players have played online satellites for seats, bought in in advance both online and at the venue, and now we have taken what the venue has NOT sold, and along with being able to extent the max numbers from 120 to 130, will make these available for members to buyin online
I"m not sure if this is what you consider to be the shambles, but if so then from my pov it couldn"t be clearer - whether some players disagree with Eventbrite is a different issue - maybe that"s what you consider the shambles? or maybe it"s the numerous player comments as things have progressed and been fine-tuned - if not please clarify and I"ll happily try to sort out whatever problems you believe there to be.
Or maybe it"s just been a difficult one with me taking over so late in the day - but whatever, I want to make sure everyone is clear with things.
Regards/Tom

Tbh I agree with you John but I believe a precedent was set earlier in the week when someone was allowed to transfer their reservation to another player.
