The alea glasgow facebook page event says that direct buyin through the sky poker site is unavailable. I was going to register through the site, will i have any problems when i turn up to the alea Tommorow? Will there be someone that can check i have bought in?
In the event schedule it states that the day 2 starting stack is 25,000.
Now this says to me that if all I have left at the end of day 1 is a small blind of 1,000 then I can look forward to joining the final day with much improved stack of 25,000.

By the way, that Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a cracking read.
It's a non-fiction book - the only type worth reading imo - purely on the correct use of punctuation. So it has a whole chapter on the correct use of exclamation marks. Sadly, very few folks seem to have read it.
Ditto question marks. Our forum is regularly populated by thread titles which ask a question but have no question mark, of which there have been several this week alone. Drives me nuts.
Then there are those who use DOUBLE question marks or exclamation marks. What's that all about? Don't even start me on that.
I've no idea why these things make me so grumpy & tetchy, but they do.

Direct Buy-In via Sky Poker has been open all week but it closed this afternoon, as names etc needed to be sent across to the Venue.
Direct buy-in at the venue remains available, of course.
I'm a little confused by your last sentence. Have you already bought in? If so, yes, we'll be there from early afternoon, just bring some ID please.
If you have not bought in, you can buy in at the venue.
I expect to be at the venue from around 2pm, just come see me if there are any issues, I'm the middle-aged cool looking dude.

Surely this can't be right.
No, it's not right. In fact, it's a bit of a set up error when the Promo Page was produced.
It states EXACTLY this.....
Players are allowed one re-entry per flight, and can play both flights. Players have the option to take their biggest stack through to
Day 2. Starting stack: 25,000
When in fact it should state this;
Players are allowed one re-entry per flight, and can play both flights. Players have the option to take their biggest stack through to Day 2.
Starting stack: 25,000
Note the difference - EXACTLY the same words, but with the line break in the correct place.
So no, your starting stack for Day 2 is whatever you carry forward (if any) from Day 1.
Somehow, I'm reminded of this......

Being scottish,english is my second language so this sort of grammar is very confusing.
Scottish, you say? How did Scotland do against Israel last night? 4-0, 5-0, that sort of thing one imagines?
