Hi Tikay,

I have just found out that I have the weekend off and would love to play in the SPT Final at Nottingham. Last night their was 277 of 290 places filled. Now the tournement has left the tournement section as per your guideline post. I appreciate it is very late, but is their any way that I can still buy in direct for £220.00?

Kind regards,

Grimm

    If the remaining seats do not go in tonight's satellite then the lobby will re-open for direct entry tomorrow

    If not, your best bet is in person is

    a) Friday's live satellite at the club

    or b) at the club on Saturday, to either buy a remaining seat or be on the alternates list

    With a few minutes to go it looks like 5 or 6 places may still be available for a direct buy in. Should this be correct, what time tomorrow will the tournement return to the lobby?

    Regards,

    Last night I played in the SPT Semi Final and 31 players took part, although the maximum that could have entered was 90, which would have given 9 places into the live final at Nottingham. I logged on this morning  to direct buy in and found that the tournement on line is now full! How did did the last 6 places get filled?

    Above it was suggested that it might be possible to buy in at 09:30 this morning when the remaining seats were again available in the lobby. This seems not to be the case. Can you explain please?

    Kind regards,

    Grim

    Hi Grimmy,

    DTD needed the names from us this morning to pre-enter everyone, so the route via Sky Poker has now CLOSED.

    A few seats ARE still available via DTD, contact them direct, please. There is also a Live Super-Sat @ DTD tonight with 10 seats Guaranteeed, but if it makes more seats, those will be guaranteed, so if it makes, say, 20 Seats, they will be honoured.

    Alternates WILL be available for the first 3 or 4 Levels tomorrow, too.

    It's regrettable that we casn't offer unlimited seats, but the Lobby has been open for qualification or direct buy in for 6 or 7 weeks, I believe.

    This morning I awoke to SEVENTEEN Facebook Messages & PM's asking if I can find people a seat!

    See you @ DTD Grimmy, I hope, & I'm pretty sure that if you are resourceful you will get a Seat.

    go to the DTD website and you'll see the facility to buy in direct

    Once those have gone, any spare (from withdrawals etc) will be on sale over the counter at DTD only, starting tonight

    Thank you Tikay.
    I tried my very best to get a seat. Joined DTD online and could not get a direct buy in no matter how resourceful I tried to be. Had to wait until DTD opened at 19:00 to telephone to see if I could speak to someone about entering, but alas was told the tournement was full. I then asked if their was an alternate list that I might be added too, but was told no alternates would be allowed... oh well their will be next year.
    Regards,
    Grimm

    I would happily purchase your seat... but do not know if the facility exists?
