SPT Newcastle: Nine seats go to Direct buy in from 7pm tonight

SPT

As the title says


In the Poker lobby from 7pm tonight NINE seats will be made available for direct buy in, first come first served for SPT Newcastle at the Aspers Casino from 2pm on Saturday 9th.

Each seat costs £100.

Selling the seats tonight should allow those who wish to purchase a seat sufficient time to make travel arrangements, and thus is preferable to last minute satellites on Thursday and Friday.

hi, ive already posted this officially to sky

 unfortunately I will be unable to attend this weekends leg of SPT tour, I'm gutted but what can you do!!
Began with issues getting time off work, miraculously managed to wrangle
something with a guy who meant to be on his hols (god bless him!) but further
trouble now with weather conditions, not a keen flyer (although by Sat the
airport may well be closed regardless) so was getting boat from belfast and
making journey up to Glasgow on the Thursday, then my friends were driving me to
Newcastle on the Sat morning but they reckon it will be thankless task and
we'll get nowhere fast and have advised me against it!! Seems nothing was going my way so decided against it. So i'm doubly gutted
now!! If possible COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE MY SEAT AVAILABLE, and I will hope to
see you all with a bit of luck at the Glasgow SPT later in the year.

Kind regards

Hail Hail 88

Sadly, i don't think Sky have done any refunds, but i am not sure.

And if you was to receive a refund they might onyl offer the satelitte buy-in back.

SPT

Can you not take the tourney down now at 8 players and reserve it for her as she can pay tomorrow!

Dave

jamielou

Lol Dave, i told her to stick it on a cash table, she'd have made enough by now too, still one seat left!

Fingers crossed!

I presume there is a chance of another seat or two coming up so if I was Jamie's mum I would deposit after the 24 hour elapses and hopefully you can directly offer it to her.

Dave

jamielou

I asked earlier if these were the only ones available, and they said yeah. I'll get her to do it anyway just in case.

:-)

hurst05

ive bought my seat direct, only started playing online again yesterday, with the weather being so bad what with all the snow, and if the trains decide not to run on this day will i be refunded, is there someone i need to ring if this happens. likewise if the event is cancelled due to the conditions?

SPT

The event will be going ahead. No refunds I am afraid, your chips will go into play at the start of the competition

hurst05

so if trains decide to abandon then its pretty much game over

Hjaltland

Too many changes to the rules going on here.

hi jamielou fingers crossed for your mum,but dont hold your breath.On last yrs tour rules were changed a couple of times and they had loads of complaints.at the newcastle leg there were several seats where people hadnt turned up,i was there with my brother in law and asked about playing one of the seats and donating any winnings to charity,but because they had allowed it on a  previous i didnt think it would be a problem,but they said no coz they had had loads of complaints but good luck

Description

£12500 GTD Sky Poker Tour Event 2. This is an offline event to be held at Aspers Casino, Newcastle on 9th of January 2010. (9 extra places avaialable via direct buy-in)

For months now SKY have said there is no direct buy in to the spt legs, what a turn around, guess i'll just wait in the future and buy in instead of trying to qualify for a select game.....the gloss is taken off it.

I feel a big let down with all my travel costs for a tour that someone can just buy into if they live down the road.

If i could get a refund for my expences SKY can sell my seat.


Disapointed.
