Hi
Just wondering why you are selling the seats so early.
I want to play all the events, but not too keen on shelling out £200 for comps that do not start until August!
What is the reason for this?
-
Its a WSOP thing.
Its to give you a chance to get some sponsorship in place and get some
coaching from top class pros, up your profile etc... before the TV
cameras roll and someone has a life changing moment. ;)
-
Good answer Mayfair.
But I think it"s primarily for planning.
Most people can arrange time off, get good deals etc with 5 or 6 weeks notice.
But if you want a really good deal on travel and hotels then this lead in time is ideal.
There might be other reasons also.
-
The venue must have a say.
-
To plan a weekend in Nottingham??
5 months is a little extreme.
Planning yes, but shelling out for a poker comp not starting for 5 months - am i the only one who thinks this is just wrong?

We have a lot of people coming in from all over Europe for this event and we want to ensure that everyone has ample time to book flights, hotels, etc. Also, we want to ensure we sell out every event. This is the one event in our calendar that we sell early.
-
Considering that APAT events sell out in 30 seconds, I would consider it good planning to have such a big event on sale so early. In terms of the money.
You sort of contradict yourself,
To plan a weekend in Nottingham??
5 months is a little extreme.
Planning yes
APAT events a played by people who dont have massive bankrolls and decide that they would liek to travel around the country next weekend. Have you tried booking a hotel close to DTD lately when there is a decent event on. Its always sold out, so APAT have given the opportunity to players to be able to sort out accomodation at the best price.
I take it what you are trying to say is that you have an objection to APAT having the money 5 months in advance?
I would have no problem with it (could i make it) to pay, and if it means I know i have a seat.
-

And it would appear a couple of hundred others agree with you. ;D
-
Fair points made.
-
Jizzem
I play the £300 at DTD every month, and have only failed to secure hotel accomodation once, and thats because I left it until 4am AFTER day one.
I usually book the night before with no problem at all - Nottingham has plenty of hotels ;)
APAT - thanks for the reply, didnt realise so many would travel from overseas - but as they do, I can see your reasons.
-
It"s not just about booking any hotel either.
It hasn"t been so much the case this time, but for last years event I booked a whole week in London for less than some people paid for one night - and that"s because I"d decided to go no matter what, so I was able to look for the sale/bargains several months in advance.
-
Fair points made.
If you have bought in M3 and subsequently cant make it your ticket will sell instantly on the transfer board.

just how did you pay for that park bench then Jon? ;)
-
Pretty straightforward really......if you think 5 months wait is too longer....DON"T ENTER !!
Seriously, the time to worry is when you can"t get a seat in one of these and only live down the road.......did I tell you about my problems with the Walsall event.................... (CENSORED DUE TO EXCESSIVE YAM-YAM WHINGEING )

Dunno. One person says closed, the next says open, then your own good self throws a proper spanner into it by asking which it is.

Des,
With the interest you will acumulate from £36,450 over 5 months do you think you might buy a drink!!!!!
Woop Woop
-
Hell No! Wages for the Mods! ;D

Well deserved in my opinion ::)

Des,

Woop Woop
Alas the prize money will go to DTD as soon as it comes through. APAT will however be left with a £3 charge per transaction - that"s £900 in charges for main event seats alone.
Will you be buying the drinks Dave? ;)
-
Hell No! Wages for the Mods! ;D
Well deserved in my opinion ::)
Wages for the mods, Tighty and Des FTW. Not any time soon though... :(

At 20p per failed transaction, that"s a column I"ve avoided totting up yet.
You can be sure we will be bending some ears about this though. It doesn"t help that there is a serious lack of competition in the market however.

Someday I will start a blog and include details from some of the 24,000 emails that I have in my inbox, most relating to APAT. A few hours before launch in August 2006, PayPal confirmed that they could not support tournament seat sales. That will be one of the first dramas that I will write about...

That he did. Fortunately we wore a mask when negotiating our sponsorship agreement with Blue Square and they essentially pick up all charges. Viva the players...

No-one posted because it was closed, but now you have opened it again.
So now thats it"s open I can post that it was closed but I couldn"t post it was closed when it was closed as that would mean it was open.
-
thats correct by opening the post with a post into what was a closed post u r indeeded opening the post or are u re opening the post if was in fact closed in the first place
-
If you posted that you was going to post but the post was closed so you did not post then someone posted on the closed post making it open when it's closed, makes this post closed or it could be open

4 Months of waiting ?1?1? Is this not a little too long?
Thread closed!!

5 months makes total sense.gives people time to book time off,sort out travel arrangements and to save up a few quid before it starts.if youre concerned about the 200 quid then i would suggest not going as its going to be nearer 400 or 500 with hotels,food and drinks before you even start playing cash games mate.anyway good luck if you play and i hope to see you all there.personally,i think apat is very right to do this.having played in the dtd 50k guaranteed where 60 players got turned away and having stood in the alternates queue at the wsop for 3 and a half hours ,i think its right and proper to get it all sorted out way in advance. :D

Although encounters between commercial entities and consumers are one of the more common types of interpersonal interactions found in everyday life, relatively little research has been conducted on interpersonal influence attempts applied to commercial settings. However, the researchers found that a confusing sales pitch alone - such as one utilizing technical jargon, confusing terminology, or large and confusing product assortments (i.e. Ginger Nuts) - does not lead to greater consumer interest. Rather, it increases the "need for cognitive closure"; consumers will grasp for easy-to-process or unambiguous information that has direct and obvious implications for judgment and behavior. Furthermore, the researchers found that this need for cognitive closure will cause particularly susceptible consumers to "freeze" their judgments, that is, hold them with a high degree of confidence and refrain from considering additional evidence that could potentially threaten closure.

Although encounters between commercial entities and consumers are one of the more common types of interpersonal interactions found in everyday life, relatively little research has been conducted on interpersonal influence attempts applied to commercial settings. However, the researchers found that a confusing sales pitch alone - such as one utilizing technical jargon, confusing terminology, or large and confusing product assortments (i.e. Ginger Nuts) - does not lead to greater consumer interest. Rather, it increases the "need for cognitive closure"; consumers will grasp for easy-to-process or unambiguous information that has direct and obvious implications for judgment and behavior. Furthermore, the researchers found that this need for cognitive closure will cause particularly susceptible consumers to "freeze" their judgments, that is, hold them with a high degree of confidence and refrain from considering additional evidence that could potentially threaten closure.

Whilst we all understand what you are attempting to achieve we also have to accept that the need for closure varies across individuals, situations, cultures and forum threads.
A person with a high need for closure prefers order and predictability and is decisive and close minded. This person also feels discomfort from ambiguity (Higel & Merdiviele 2002). Someone rating low on need for closure will express more ideational fluidity and emit more creative acts (Hirumbolo et al., 2003).
The Need for Thread Closure Scale (NFTCS) was developed by Andre Luglanski, Donna Hebster, and Adele Klum in 1993. Items on the scale include statements such as "I think that having clear rules defining a threads conclusion are essential to success." and "I do not like threads that are open to continuation by the simple posting of a random item i.e. a ginger nut biscuit". Items such as "Even after this thread has been deemed closed, I am always eager to consider a different opinion." and "I like to have threads which are unpredictable" are reversed scored (Luglanski, Hebster, and Klum, 1993).
This scale is composed of 42 items and has been used in numerous research studies and has been translated into multiple languages. In 2006, Boets and Van Higel revised the scale to resolve the psychometric problems and obtain a stable, one-dimensional scale.
The Need for Thread Closure Scale exhibits low to moderate association with the following: "authoritarianism, intolerance of ambiguity, dogmatism, need for cognition, cognitive complexity, impulsivity, need for structure, and fear of invalidity, while retaining considerable distinctiveness from those various constructs"(Hebster & Lruglanski, 1994). It does not appear to be related with the intelligence level nor social desirability concerns.
I trust this has cleared up the "thread closed" position and that we are all comfortable with situation moving forward.

Absolutely with Coffee, Ginger mixes wonderfully with the Coffee which takes away some of the bitterness.
I suppose you are fine with a ruddy Cinnamon stick in your Coffee......

you"re right - the bunny isn"t ugly. however, the bunny does appear to have undergone breast enlargement surgery.

I"d bet the APAT week-end was booked first anyway, which means it obviously comes first.

Mission objectives -
Primary = Play in the WCOAP
Secondary = Have fun
All other considerations are invalid.

I refer you all to the point made around 13 pages ago, when in accordance with the decision and statement made by the original poster, who therefore assumes ownersip of the thread, that the thread is indeed closed.

And yet, people are still posting in this thread, which when originally created became "Public" property of all forum members, so therefore it cannot possibly closed by one individual.
Maybe if people refrained from posting in this thread.......
