How do the numbers sold so far compare with say last year? Are we looking at a possible poor turnout or is this just "normal" at this stage? Will there be locals to fill the spare capacity?
I"m considering going but not if it"s looking like
TightEnd:
UK turnout to date is poor compared to last year. In the first three seasons we"ve always travelled across with 100+. However there is still time.
Local demand should be high (we usually have 20-30 alternates in Dublin, local players who leave it to the last minute) , always is to ensure that...
Will be over 100 runners, imo
UK turnout? there was a problem with the venue, that delayed "on sale"/caused confusion, then WCOAP before and Luton/Coventry coming up so perhaps people don"t feel the need to travel/spend this year with so many events around the Dublin one.
Unless anyone knows of any other reasons

I haven"t been for a couple of years (Vegas usually gets in the way) but I believe that this has ALWAYS sold out...the locals will snap up any remaining seats if you don"t.

don"t think it sold out last year.

Think this has a significant bearing - it certainly does for me. Dublin is just so expensive for food and drink that it takes the trip beyond low stakes poker..... am looking forward to Barcelona, and reckon the weekend will be overall cheaper than Dublin.
That said though, the trip last year was excellent - the Dublinners are just the most fantastic bunch of people.

Sorry...by "Sold Out" I meant" Ran with Max Runners"...not that they were all sold through APAT. I think that"s true...but I could be wrong.
I agree that Dublin CAN be expensive in terms of food & drink but it all depends on one"s...erm...tendencies. We"re not there for long and cheapish pub food can be found within easy walking distance of the Fitz. Of course, if you"re Ger, then your drinks bill is going to be mahoosive...and then there"s Laxie and the "extra"s to consider.
Finally, and believe me, whatever you spend you will make back playing cash in short order. The Fitz regulars have been ripped to pieces for 3 years running by the APAT crew...why do you think Tighty had so much hassle in locking them down?
I...me personally, made money there and I can"t play cash for toffee. ;D
