... I am guessing people might not be keen to take the Friday off, although it is a 4:30pm start.

some people might not have the option to take Friday off.

My point was, "not keen" and "not able to" are entirely different.
My suggestion for fairness is that the players give their preference in order of payment.
Once one day is full the players expressing a preference for that day are offered the other one as an alternative.
If they know they can"t make that day then it can go to the next down the list who failed.
I expect that most people will accept the alternative day and then try their best to be able to make it, and sell it on the seat exchange only if it"s absolutely not possible for them to make it.
Generally I don"t see random selection or any kind of lottery as a good way to decide matters - and as their is a record of when people paid, it might as well be put to good use.
APAT:
We will be using the same method as with our last three day event. Players will be able to input their preferred day 1 with their payment and those days will be allocated in order of payment. This event is being put on sale 5 months prior to taking place so there is ample time for people to organise a day"s holiday if they want to play and do not get their preferred starting day.
Chipaccrual:
Have you two been talking to each other ?
;D
Great minds and all that.

I didn"t actually remember this.
But it may have been somewhere in my subconscious.
APAT:
There is a significant difference. We will not be offering the "second" day as an alternative option, then moving down the list as and when players decide whether to take the option or not.
If their preference day has filled up we will either a) allocate a seat on the second day and the onus moves to the player to sell the seat through the Seat Exchange Board or b) not allocate them a seat. That one will be decided before the event goes on sale.
