In addition we"ll have seat reservation. To stop people speed reserving everything in sight, there will be a charge on all events. £5 for the main event and £2 for each side event.

I think this was pretty much what I was hoping to see. Thanks Des.

Agree completely. I think a direct buy in with full payment up front should be made available for all events before reservations. Surely selling out an event with money up front is more desirable

^^^^^ +1^^^^^ surely have direct upfront payment available for say 14 days then go down the reservations route for those still undecided, there are lots of hardcore members who have fully committed 100% to the series..

What I meant was I was happy to see that if need be I just had to find £25 spare rather than £600

We"re still in Season Seven right? Below is from the APAT Season Seven Announcement thread:

Will that mean to reserve a seat in this one you"ll have to pay £50 + £5 +£5?

If you"ve reserved the main, or already qualified, you wouldn"t have to pay any side event reservation fees.

Having only 1 reservation for the whole of the WCOAP made sense - but I thought it was worth checking/clarifying as it"s in 3 distinct groups.
--- End quote ---
To be clear, if a players is committed to being at the venue, then they would only have to pay one reservation fee. So consider it one reservation fee per venue Jon. That avoids the previous issues.

So "to be clear" means "I might change my mind" ;)

Have you ever actually said something that wasn"t critical Andrew? We just seem to be constantly inconveniencing you, which might be fair enough if we were PokerStars or Sky, but we"re not, we"re just a bunch of recreational poker players that dedicate a lot of our non working time in an attempt to pull together something pretty special on your behalf. Apologies that we constantly fail you.

If one assumes that I"m allowed the occasional bark, as is everyone"s right within APAT, then I"m not unhappy with the post Brendan...and I"m sure I"ve done worse. :)
I feel the economy is a bit worrying, the jobs situation also....but I don"t believe APAT adding an event to a festival late in the day, or changing our position on side event reservation should be described as worrying.
Now that"s just my opinion and we listen to everyone"s opinion - which frequently differ as seen even in the last few posts.
So I guess what I"m saying is I / we are entitled to show a bit of frustration also.

Sorry Des but you can"t have it both ways. The "we"re just a bunch of recreational poker players that dedicate a lot of our non working time " line doesn"t cut it anymore.
APAT is a business of which you are a Director (according to Companies House). APAT is a Business that charges customers (us recreational players) fees.
As a paying customer I am very disappointed that you spoke to another customer is such a manner. As a customer with choice, I will not being playing the event.
