I am sure many of us are unsure whether or not they can make the event in Vienna, but would like to take a punt at the satellites. If you blag a seat and then can"t go, does your Betfair account get credited with the monetry equivalent?

Firstly, everyone has a right to play the satellites. So the short answer is "Yes"
With that said, from a personal standpoint, I"d rather that players NOT use the satellites as a money-making opportunity.
I appreciate that there genuine cases of uncertainty but I booked the time off months ago just in case I get a seat. I"d hate to find out that I, now cannot get a seat because someone won a satellite with little or no intention of going to Vienna. This is especially true when the "seat" also includes something towards expenses.
Seriously, if you think you have a good chance of making it, fair enough, go ahead and play. If you"re really just in it to make some extra cash, I"d ask (purely on my own behalf) that you find somewhere else.
Hey, just my opinion, others will, undoubtedly differ.
Chipaccrual:
I agree with Paul on this one. Those looking at soft satellite cash action should be put off by the -ev of having to then sell the seat on the seat exchange, so I doubt it will attract those players.
Mike"s point is a fair one though, and I hope we have put on enough of a mixture of satellite buyins for everyone to feel they could give it a go at joining us in Vienna for what will be another great APAT weekend. *

* I can guarantee it will be a great APAT weekend, because I know The Duke has already booked his flights and hotel, so merriment is guaranteed. ;D
Mikeyboy9361:
I agree with you both, and as fervent APAT supporter I will always endeavour to make every APAT event, but being self employed and running a business things can conspire against you, this season I am 0/2 live events due to various reasons. :"(
Chipaccrual:
Just to clarify the holding tank situation for this event.
There will be two holding tanks.
The $400 one is for all satellite qualifiers.
The $120 one is for all direct buyin and will go live at 9pm on Thursday 15th April 2010.
Good luck to everyone looking to get a seat.
