It has to be option a)

I would be gutted if I had clickfested intime, but my choice of day one had gone and I was not allocated the other day one if available.

And if it is not an option for anyone, then they can always put it on the seat exchange as you say.


I would say this as well, especially as if they were given the option I would expect most people would accept the alternative day and then try and "find a way" to make it.

Having said that I don"t think having 50 seats going through the seat exchange board would be a good idea - so if there are too many I can see how administratively the other option would be preferable.


I agree.

Is there an option "not to choose a day"?

Because if you HAVE to choose a day, it does not mean that you can"t make the other day - it"s just that you HAD to choose one.

If you qualify by the clickfest i.e. one of the first 220ish to have completed the ordeal, you should be entered.

As Des said there is plenty of time to try and make arrangements to make the other day. If alas you can"t then I am sure there will be 1 or 2 that would be interested in buying your seat.

It has to be option (a)

I agree with that - I would be happy to just get a seat.... Des can then stick me in whichever day1 he chooses - I have no preference, and will be there for the duration anyway.

I plan on playing all the events so i really dont mind which day... just getting the seats will be one thing!!

Anyone know of any Good (and by that i mean Cheap) Hotels near the card room??

£153 is the cheapest if seen so far not bad for two for 4 nights!

I don"t think I"ve seen any that cheap, so you might be safe to go for it.

As far as I know the only hotel which is within walking distance is the Riverside Travelodge, so any other hotel you can assume you need to factor in petrol/taxi money.

The Travelodge is about 1.5 miles so it"s certainly within walking distance but still a trek.

It"s where I stayed for the opening weekend - it"s less than 1.5 miles with the quickest route (up the Boulevard - over the bridge) - but, yes, it might be further than some people might like to walk.

Oops...that was my fault...Google Maps is, of course, driving distance.
