Pretty Please

[Mikeyboy9361]

I don"t know if this has been covered or not, I seem to think I have read something at one time or other, but here goes.
Des please can you fix it for me to swap my Dublin seat ( won in Manchester ) for another national event later in the year ( not the one in London cos I am on my Hols ). Even if it is one in the next season, I don"t mind.
Please Jim, sorry I mean Des!!

Best to PM him I reckon.

It"s a topic that has been covered a few times over the last three to four weeks. 

Tickets were allocated for this event without the option to switch due to the number of people wanting to take up that option over recent events.  As we"ve said before, it makes no sense to start filling future events up prior to their advertised on sale date.  That said, a credit does not really appear to be an option for you anyway if London is a no-go.  We would not carry a credit into S3, as there is no schedule currently in place.

So our guidance would be to sell the seat and buy into an event at a later date. 

Clearly giving notice a week prior to the event doesn"t help your case too much either!

If he can"t find anyone to buy it before the day, would it be possible for his seat to go to a reserve on the day, and the £75 be credited to him if that happens?

Just thinking out loud.

That has happened before Daniel, so I don"t see why it couldn"t happen in Dublin.

Hearing your thoughts and replying........

To do that for one member, would obligate APAT to do that for any number of late withdrawals and we simply do not have the capacity to check for emails received late, take and refund entry fees, amend player lists and potential prize pools, etc on the morning of an event.  For one or two of course its possible, but where do we draw the line?  

Now I know this will appear unreasonable, but one important thing we have learned from a heavy schedule in S2 is the need to simplify our administration.  The Seat Exchange board has been put in place to deal with post event transactions and to date it appears to have worked pretty well.  Lets not dilute its purpose.

Hi Guys thanks very much for the reponses, and your Pm Dan. I didn"t honestly think any thing could be done, but was just hoping really, I fully appreciate everything you say Des, and I will put an ad on the seat exchange and see what happens.
Cheers

Thanks Mike, I felt we needed to take a clear position on this question, but where specific circumstances dictate, we will always do our utmost to help individual members out.
