    With the small guarantee @ Dublin, will there be a cap on numbers? (100 -150 ish)

    What will the capacity be for both venues?

    Dublin is capped at 120. Sky Poker players will have a chance to qualify before it is opened up to local players for direct buy in

    Broadway, 200.

    Not sure this is accurate if you are prepared to look a little outside the City centre

    I booked two nights this week within 10 minutes walk of the casino's city centre location for under £120 and return flight ryanair for under £60

    Shop around on all the late rooms/expedia type sites. Currently rooms available in Dublin for £50 a night in quite a few locations

    Of course worth booking early, as it is an expensive City.

    Sporting Emporium has a 25Euro registration charge, will this be enforced for Sky players?

    Also what about railers?

    From Website

    The Sporting Emporium is a members club. It’s easy to join once you are over 18. We’ll need your name and address along with some other information but it will only take a minute to complete. There is a once off membership fee of €25 (which you pay at the club) and when you join we will give you €25 in FREE casino chips. If you register online now we will give you an extra €5 chip to bet with.

    Cheers 
    Dave

    A little note for people, the Dublin Leg is on at the same weekend as the FA Cup final.

    I was aware of that, but didn't really think it was as significant as 10-20 years ago when everyone would watch it on terrestial on a Saturday

    Am I wrong?

    True it's lost it's significance compared to in the past, especially as it's now not the season curtain closer, I was only trying to make people aware of it in case:

    1)  They are likely to go to the final and need to be aware of this before trying to qualify and;

    2)  They have a set FA Cup final event they go or hold every year (as I do) and need to know this to choose which they are going to do.

    It wasn't a criticism of the date, just trying to make people aware of it in case it matters to them.

    Really lokking forward to the Dublin event. Really good spot to play and in the heart of the city. Congrats on the venue. If people do a bit of homework they will find that even a mile away from the center of city there is top hotels for 50 euro p.p. and with Luas and Dart (types of trains and trams) everything is very close.
    Hope and know it will be good.
    Locals will fill it no question. Hopefully just sky poker members will be in attendance.
    Slainte mhaith agus tainte (good health and wealth)
