An alternates list is where they take a list of names, and usually for the first 2-3 levels, anyone that busts out will be replaced by the person at the top of the alternates list. So it really depends how many people bust out 'early' but given the fast structure, I'd imagine there will be 10 or so who bust in the first few levels so if you get there early and can gete your name near the top of the list, then you should be able to just BI direct on the day (no guarantees obviously).
Other than that, there are a few more sats on Sky, and I think there's a live satellite at the casino giving away 20 seats if you can get there for that.
Thanks Lambert What day are the live satellites at the casino, other than that if I don't win a seat I'll try to turn up on the day and see what happens. Ta
I'll be there Friday but doesn't look like I'll get a seat for the Saturday. Might pop back as an alternate or just play the Saturday sidey too. Looking forward to meeting a few of you lot in person for the first time. Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham

Hi all coming to Brum on Saturday , im a reg at the broadway casino and will be playing Saturday Im told that they have about 10 seats remaining for direct buy-in but i doubt they will be available on the day so its probably best to call them The travelodge hotel is literally on the doorstep and parking is free beneath the casino , bring your ticket in and they will give you a validate it when leaving. Im not sure about parking being free for more than one evening though Electric cigerattes are allowed & they sell them at the bar Smoking area outside is right next to the card room Its a nice place with good atmosphere Good Luck
btw the friday night comp usually has 120+ players ( £40 buy in ) 5k+

alot of sky players coming for the fri nite,so could be long nite
Hi - I've not been to of these for a while and only qualified last night. So a bit of last minute planning needed!!! Do i have to be there for 2:00? Posted by hughesie
It would be advisable to be there about 1.30pm TBH. That will give you time to reg at the casino and find your table to be seated at for around 1.45pm. Play normally starts at bang on 2pm.........after a bit of waffle from Tikay, ofc.

Hi all I won few days ago ticket to sky poker tour in Birmingham, i really wanted to go but unlikely i have to be at work on this day and i cannot make it. I see many people is interesting to buy in directly to this event. If anyone is interesting i can transfer this ticket, all i need is user id the player who want to play this tournament and sky will do the rest for us.

Your chips will be in play, but you shouldnt lose too much of your stack TBH. Just find your seat as soon as you can. There will be plenty of folk around to help you when you get there.

Ring the casino and ask for the poker room to check availability of those seats, thanks
