Hi mate - I was planning on getting the train from preston and coming back the same night, but just heard it can go on for 12 hours so don't know what to do now - At the moment you can get a return preston for 11.50, but I might wait and see what other ppl are doing

Hi Izabel,

Unfortunately, you have to stump up the cost of travel and accommodation, out of your own pocket.

Hi MP33,

You may have a problem if you run deep, as the last 3 legs finished at 1.45 and 1.30am on the Sundays.

If you look at leg 3 SPT hotel deal thread, there are some deals for cheapish hotels near the casino.

Question about the final SPT round...

Has a deal been done yet by SKY with a Nottingham Hotel for discounted rooms?

If we (my wife/daughter.....thanks TK) book our flghts from Shetland now we can get a real good deal, would also like to book Hotel at the same time.

ps. coming to Nottingham even if we have to camp out.

Colin

SPT

A hotel deal for Nottingham wouldn't be done until after the last leg

Booking this far in advance you'd probably beat the deal anyway

Most when playing at DTD use

Holiday Inn, Nottingham Marina

or, cheaper, Premier travel Inn, Nottingham South

or, very nice, Village Hotel, Clifton

Sold out already?!!!! I don't think they even advertised that qualification had begun? I'm pretty mad about that, I want to play - haven't missed a leg yet. Come on Sky, sort it out. Can you open up some extra seats for the regulars to have a chance

Hello all, congrats to all going to Luton as i am, can someone tell me what happens next, do i need to registrar and when and where please, have read blogs and can not find info, many thanks and see you there

SPT

Turn up on the day from 12pm onwards, no need to register just look for your name on the seat draw when it goes up

You'll receive a briefing pack in the week beforehand by email

I don't know if this question has been asked before but I would like to go to the Luton leg and just watch and maybe join in with some of the Sit 'n Go games that are played later in the evening.

I have not qualified for the main event, but having not played 'Live' Poker before would it be possible to get some training from the Sky Poker team before I play any 'Live' Poker.

I have also noticed that all players need to become a member before entering the Casino. Is there any subscription needed to become a member.

Are there any Disabled parking bays available at the G Casine, Luton, as I would like to bring my disabled wife with me.

SPT

Yes by all means come and join in the fun...Play the Presenter SNGs for example

If you can be there early enough we run a session on live poker etiquette etc at c 1.30pm before the competition starts. If not, find me (Richard Prew) when you arrive or ask any dealer. All will be happy to help

No subscription to become a member. You'll need photo ID to get access though and adhere to a firm dress code (No sportswear, not rainers, no hoodies, no ripped clothing etc)

Yes there are disabled bays in the sizeable car Park

Thank you for your reply SPT.
I look forward to meeting some of the Sky Poker Community if I can get to the venue on the day.
This will all depend on the wife being well on the day.

Satellite qualification only, and apart from one 5 seat Live satellite the next leg at Luton is now sold out. Watch out for last minute online satellites the week beforehand if any seats become available

The Tour website has all the info on dates, and the satellites for the Glasgow leg will appear in the lobby from Mid March onwards, and will be trailed on these pages
