sattelites into re-buy tournaments

edited September 2011 in Sky Poker Tournaments
I know there are sats running for re-buy tourneys, but would it not be a good idea to give 'tournament tickets' as prizes for these games ?
This would then allow players to play in as many sats as they like for the same tourney thus giving them a chance to win re-buys rather than having to pay for them. Players could then re-buy for the price of a sat rather than the full re-entry cost.
Tournament tickets could also be used for the same tourney but on another date giving people who are on shifts a chance to play the sats one week for buy ins to the tourney the following week.
The restrictions imposed could be
a) tickets can only be used for the tournament they were intended for
b) a set time limit, (posibly four weeks) in which these tickets must be used.
Thanks for reading this, any comments are appreciated.

    i suggested tourny tickets many months ago but also got no response, i can't see a problem with it as most players who sat. in to a tourny are very unlikely to rebuy at full cost.

    Excellent idea Quietman and I for one feel v. dissapointed that as this site grows the less opportunities are being catered for shift workers.eg: when they run competitions to win free tokens to a competition, they tend to specify when you have to play......which is pretty damn awkward if you are a shift worker.
    Why they just can't give a token for use at a convenient time for the winner (where's the hardship or inconvenience) in that.......they make a note and you just contact them when you wish to use it.....or even better, why don't they just place the token under the 'My Account'... />>..'Promotions'...tabs.  
    I really would like the suits and the TV presenters to have a look at this thread as you and I already have said, shift workers are being excluded from an increasing amount of tournaments which is a crying shame......ps: excellent idea and well written post......wd.
