Lambert180 · September 2014

Sounds good, exciting stuff.

Hopefully it's a sign that the day all the winners fly out (4th November) is also my birthday... would be a great birthday pressie

Micro sat at £1.80 pretty good value - 1in 5 get into a £37 quarter

Someone needs to change the flow chart me thinks.

On this link it states 1,650 dollar buy-in to 500,000 dollar GTD Main Event. But it doesnt state what the name of the tournament actually is anywhere on that page.

Yo Conor,

I will do a Q & A & "containment" thread over the weekend & post all the nitty gritty, & we can use that thread for comments, feedback, Q & A etc.

Satellites don't start until Monday, so we are cool.

bearlyther · September 2014

Thanks Tikay

I doubt they will be in the Lobby until Monday, Gary.

I'll do a thread to give the details, & collate feedback.

Great promo. Was at this same hotel in February and had an amazing time. Thought the poker room was a bit small for such a big tourney tho?

I vote to remove delpotty from the running in this promotion. He has already been to the Caribbean this year, and going twice is, well... just greedy.

TommyD · September 2014

The package looks great. The location looks amazing. Definitely something to go for. I do have a couple of questions though, obviously I'll wait for the official thread.

Thanks Tommy.

It'll probably be tomorrow (Monday) before I start it, as I am awaiting some info & clarification, but I'll start it today if chance permits.

joesman1 · September 2014

100% up for this! But like Tommy, many questions to ask. Spent all morning trying to book 'fake flights'. Seems only way u can get there direct (ish) is with Air France via CDG. British Airways it's via JFK over 2days. Unless I'm being a dork (which is probable).

Dork.

Such a greatly underused word.

There is a direct flight from Gatwick flight no: BA2205 return BA2204. Price is £600+though so for 2 the £800 is not going to cover it.

Thomson £587 again direct from LGW

delpotty · September 2014

I went direct on Thompson and got a very good deal. Think it was £400 round trip.

Yes thanks, just realised the problem wasn't getting from London To The Dominican..... It was getting from Newcastle to London ffs!!! U couldn't make it up. No BA flights to LGW. No seats on a Tues' morning LHR bound flight til the back end of November. That's why it was sending me to CDG. So = DORK

you can get flight on flybe from newcastle to southampton. £62 return Then train from southampton to london gatwick - £40.80 return.

GELDY · September 2014

So where is P.C.
oh - The Dominican Republic
hmmm - not the nicest place in the world!

Lambert180 · September 2014

Hopefully Tikay will be able to give some info on this Q&A thread about it but from what I can see, the £800 credited to your account isnt even close to covering the cost of the flights for 2 people.

Think I (and most people) would rather just reduce some of the $1500 hotel credits and have my flights paid for.

+1 (even though I doubt very much I'd even be in contention lol) - especially as hotel is all inclusive? so what would you spend the $1500 on???

It's for one person, isn't it?

FCHD · September 2014

The Hotel line on the promotion page says 7 nights for 2 people so I'm assuming that Sky are expecting the winner(s) to take their partner/or AN Other
