Hi, last month I won a seat for the newcastle leg of the sky poker tour. I was wondering if i am able to sell my seat as after looking at costs it may not be worth my while attending due to paying £100 for travel and hotels  ,If i do attend do aspers put on cash games , other tourneys or stts as i dont want to get knocked out of the tourney at 5pm and then be at a loose end for the evening. If so which is the best way to sell the seat.

    Hi
    The simple answer is no you cannot sell your seat to anyone else, or give to to another person.
    There will be plenty of sit n gos as people are knocked out and if you go on the Aspers site or call them they will let you know what other games are available on that night.
    Please dont forget that if you are going, to go on their site to preregister.

    like colin says you can't sell or transfer your ticket,so you will have to win it back on cash tables....
    if you look online at the premier inn at the millenium bridge they are doing
    room only for £29.....good luck

    Where do i begin, i played in the first leg in Manchester and the breakdown is like this

    Total
    24 hours round trip on a ferry
    14 hours round trip in a hire car
    20+ hours shopping

    and i lasted 1.5 hours in the tour  lol.

    My wife and i had a great time with very little change from £1000, i am pleased and very proud to have won a seat for Newcastle and we will be setting off for another adventure in January.

    Believe me i am no cardsharp i just enjoy playing.

    cheers guys, how far is the mellenium bridge from aspers.

    Also when you say pre register with aspers is that for the tourney or membership to the casino.

    thanks

    You must be registered with the Casino to take part, this will only take around 5 mins, but you will need ID. You also need to register for the Tournament with Sky, pick up your ID tag, etc. another 5 mins.

    Think Millenium Bridge is not too far away, unless it's the London one...

    Aspers Casino is in the very fine Gate Complex and not far from the Eldon Square Shopping Centre and Grainger Square Markets.

    If your looking for a top quality night out in the UK, without question Newcastle is one of the best for me with London,Cardiff and Chester being the next best on my list!!!

    Even though i'm from these parts, Manchester have never ever appealed to me for a night out.

    If you're not a member of the aspers casino, you'll need to register with the casino to get in, as long as you have I.D. with you, passport etc.
    When you get into the casino, you'll need to find the poker area, at the back of the casino floor if I remember correctly, there you will see a table with a couple of sky staff at it, let them know you are there and they will answer any other questions you may have.

    If you're not familiar with the area, I'd look to get there for about 12.15-13.00 on the Saturday, I got lost last year. The casino is up stairs.
