Reg fee fine
Live events, don"t lose the team events they"re great, once a month was never gonna work for me, but the more events the more chance I had of playing! I agree that just 6 per year is a little on the low side, maybe fo for 8 or 9.
Prizes - as they are please, the chance to play in a big buy in event is a great incentive to most of us budget players.

Rather than this important question be buried down on page 38 of a perhaps tired (to some people) thread I think you should start a new thread along the lines of "important last minute decisions being considered....feedback required" or something snappier!!

If cuts have to be made I personally would rather it benefits more and come off the added winners prize ( eg WCOAP seats instead of GUKPT) rather than introduce a reg fee, but I"m not too fussed ~ I think only those who know the total financial picture can make this decision.
Im with Mikeyboy and figure the more events the greater chance of playing. Get big venues toward the center of the country and you will always sell out, nothing against Plymouth/Aberdeen etc but the more remote the less chance of people travelling that far for a £75 game.
The WCOAP is a great event and it would be a gamble to move or add another, but if you think it can be pulled off then go for it ~ Could be great !
Team events are fun, bring in new members to our live games, so please keep these but dont make them exclusive.

My thoughts on this:
Reg Fee - It"s all down to personal views and circumstances but the addition of a Reg Fee wouldn"t stop me playing at an APAT event. Reg Free may be APAT's USP but what is that USP achieving?
Scheduling - I can see where you are coming from but 6 events really isn"t enough especially if 6 includes The Irish, Scottish & Team events as it"s really a hardcore that travel (particularly to the Irish) and not everyone can play the team event. A lot of previous posters seem to be landing on 9 and that feels about right; I"d like to see a 6-weekly scheduling including (Random order) English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, UK, Euro, WCOAP, Team +1 other.
Would the Festival idea really take off? It depends what the Friday get together entails. If it"s a "special" tourney at the casino on Friday night with a bit of added value, then maybe? Seats in events the following day could be added to the top "x" finishers. If you have already bought in, as most will have, then you at least you will be free-rollin" plus any cash you win in the tourney. It would add and extra impetus should events sell out also.
To get the Festival feel, please vary the Sunday sides whenever possible - i.e. not always PLO
I personally do not like the "online Thursday"s" idea. People committing their weekends are unlikely to want to give up Thursday nights as well. I like the Online Championships being on weekends as they currently are.
Added Value is the cherry on top - not a reason to play APAT but a bonus. Although I would never have played a GUKPT so far were it not for APAT.

It"s hardly buried Andy - Surely those who care enough to have a strong opinion are monitoring the thread for new posts ???
..... as you & I have clearly done in the last few minutes ;)
