I believe that the plan is Gala Merchant City, Glasgow BUT this has not been confirmed as yet.
You can refer to the calendar post at the top of this forum section for all venues.
-
The gala merchant gonna be a tight squeeze for 200 runners but it"s the biggest gala casino in Glasgow !
-
It"s not going to be 200 runners.....
150 probably
Will confirm all asap, am speaking to the venue

That"s gonna be a real struggle at the Merchant for 150 even unless they move a number of their roulette and other tables. The Stanley Mint has 2 adjoining rooms that could hold 150 easily and Alea could also accommodate this number I believe.
-
The Alea would be the prefered choice.

+1 , but i guess it comes down to sponsorships and stuff like that

Nope...that"s one of the lower factors.
Perhaps the others have turned us down for a variety of reasons or TIghty has reservations...those are much more likely.
Then again, nothing is set in stone yet...watch this space.

Now whats the best way of claiming a seat for this event do i have to have an 888 account ? or can i but direct into it at the venue or do i have to take my chance on a clic fest on the apat site ?
Looking at the structure and the prize pool this one is too good to miss!

There are no clickfests any more.
Buy-in will be via 888 poker so you will need an account.
There may be alternate seats available at the venue ON THE DAY but these are not guaranteed,
-
Think i should have a seat reserved for me seeing as its my 40th the week before lol.
;) ;) ;)
-
Just had a look at 888 poker not the easiest to figure out. So when do the tickets for the Scottish leg go on sale?

Probably a around month before the date...perhaps less.
Patience folks...there"s a long way to go yet.

Does anyone know where to get the information for buying in to this event or when you can buy in to it?

Buyin will be available via 888poker lobby. Seats will go on sale somewhere around the 1st July.
-
Well I"ve started a 888 poker account & I will be buying a seat but I know these events are very popular so in the event I don"t get my seat online I"ll be showing up at the venue to buy in direct if this is allowed ??

Last season APAT ran an alternates list at each venue, so you can turn up on the day and have your fingers crossed.
You also have the sats to the live events and the seat exchange before, what i would deem a last resort, turning up at the venue in hope.
-
I"ll be trying all these routes thanks. I just think that this event gives the average Joe in the street a chance to get quality poker tournament experience for less than 100 bucks!!

Might make a return to APAT for this :o since its my home casino and the weekend before my 21st
-
I am keen to play this event but I am unable and also unwilling to deposit on an account at 888. Is there a way to direct buy in @ the casino in advance of the tourney?
-
you can not buy-in in advance you can put your name down on the day on the alternate list and hope someone gets knocked out in i think the first 3 levels so get yourself down there early and name on the list as not that many people get knocked out that early

Play in Gala MC like 3 times a week (depending on run-good), gonna play my first APAT at Newcastle.
-
I"m sure the gala mc will welcome the APAT players with open arms. It"s normally the home of Scottish bingo poker !!!!
ACE RAG 25x big blind shove! Need I say more?
-
Having played there many times i"m also sure they"ll welcome us, just concerned about the size of the venue especially over a normally very busy weekend.

I played the cheap bingo comp on Sunday & as a casino the venue is fine but if this sells out it"s gonna get very tight for space !! Also it gets very warm as the gaming floor is in the basement. I think some players will be sweating more than just a flop at times.
I"ve played a few tournaments in hotels & I think they make for a more relaxing venue to play poker in. I"m sure some hotels across the uk would welcome such an event as the apat tour just a thought for next year ?

To run an event in a UK hotel needs a Gaming commission licence. That costs, in time and money
You then need to get tables, dealers, chips, clocks, security
the cost is completely prohibitive
In places like Ireland it is done..there is no Gaming commission and the operators charge big rake in both torunaments and cash games to cover their costs, and more
As far as Glasgow leg is concern ed, the venue is laying out new space, not normally used for poker, to host us.

Gala Merchant , may be small , and the smaller field probally reflects this , but to be honest , I am just delighted it is in Glasgow, rather than Aberdeen, or Edinburgh as was previous, and will just make the most of it whatever space is like.
Roll on July

Fair point about the hotel idea!! Well Glasgow it is !! Hope I get a seat & also a deep run !!

yer the likes of when the nutz league play in the MC gala they tend to turn upstairs into partial cardroom aswell, that being said im not really looking forward to the usual weekend of busy gaming floor in there especially due the the cardroom not being seperate from the gaming floor.
