deano147:
tried to get a seat for walsall did not manage, i just think this way of who ever is the fastest to write there details in on the computer gets a seat is wrong, i think they should put it back to the way they first had it by the way off a random draw.

You could then possibly go the rest of your life without getting a seat.

Bodddders:
I have said this from the start deano, but im afraid we are in the minority as most members think this is the best way of doing things.

For what its worth I think everyone who would like a seat should put their name forward via a special link during a specific time frame. For instance between 9.00 - 9.10pm. then a random draw is made.

As it is you are in the lap of the gods with regards to technology. I pressed the make payment link about ten seconds after the link came up, but for some reason it wouldnt take me thru to the payment page. So I miss out, not because I couldnt be bothered but because of a technical fault.

Blimey these grapes are sour.

Nostrodamus:

Fair poimts made.

I think the problem with a 10 minute window, followed by random draw, without a payment authorised, will then give a headache to the admin to collect the necessary payments.

It"s possible if demand is this high, future events may go the way of a 3 or 4 day tournament, splitting day 1A and day 1B. Grosvenor do this already for their other big comps and are geared up to support the process.

I thought we, as members of the APAT, were going to get to vote on issues such as how tickets would be sold.

Personally I"m in the random draw camp as it is much fairer and less reliant on people having a good computer and strong broadband connection.
