Poker Forum > Seat Exchange
Hmmmmm
Chipaccrual:
Sorry I haven"t got involved in this thread sooner, been busy this afternoon. ;D
Any seat exchanges must be completed for no more than the face value of the seat (i.e. £75)
Due to the high demand for these tickets, players are offering a percentage of themselves to stand a chance of getting one as and when they become available. This is only potential additional money, should they cash.
To the best of my knowlewdge, this is only being offered by players looking for a ticket and not by anyone selling (i.e. I can"t make it, so selling my seat for £75 + I want 50% of whoever buys it).
What we want to do is ensure seats are exchanged in a simple and fair way. By sticking to the £75 rule (which I believe each transaction so far has done, and if anyone knows any different, then please pm me) we do not have the situation of people getting seats just to make a profit from.
That would go against what APAT is all about. Offering a % of yourself to get a ticket, just shows how keen you are to play.
Hope that answers the queries.
Leigh

If you choose to swap % with players in the same competition or whatever then that"s fine and part of everyday poker but selling a seat with the promise of % as a sweetener to intice the transaction is wrong in my opinion...

Why is this fine then?? APAT clearly has a rule stating that no deals are allowed in APAT tournaments. This would IMO constitute a deal.
FWIW I agree that this is fine, but if we look at the rules in Black and White as we appear to be doing, how is it fine?

The no deal rule relates to the players currently in the tournament in question. You are comparing that with a situation where a % has been agreed to someone not playing in the tournament (as they are selling their seat).
Two completely different situations.

And offering a premium above the value of a concert ticket just shows how keen you are to see the concert, it doesn"t stop the person you"re dealing with being a tout
Pilf:
Thanks Leigh, clears everything up. ;D
Steve, I don"t think you know me. I"m easily locatable on APAT website or Hendon Mobs poker database (or through google) if you wanna see if you recognise me.
If you gamble a lot you"ve probably had a few of my hard earned on Betfair too.
And if you laid Denman at 20/1 for me at the National, Thanks. I"m now on a £500 freeroll....../brag.
