No, you are NOT specifically in Friday's Day 1, you can turn up EITHER Friday or Saturday & you'll be fine.
Here's what the Lobby (in which you are shown) says;
A lobby to show all qualifiers that have won ONE seat to SPT Manchester. This seat may be used to be play on either Day 1a Friday 9th September or Day 1b Saturday 10th September.
So I have never to an SPT this will be my first time I am not quite sure how registration will work I just thought I would figure it all out when I got there. I will need to work out main transport routes from and to the casino I have worked out how to get into manchester etc Will need to work out nearest coach (national express) and nearest train station for this.
Also knowing of semi decent local food places would be a good shout. I mean If I am going to run well enough to be in the casino all day I could do with getting food likely quick food on a break.
looking at this casino there food seems to be very up market I was looking at getting say a burger and chips with a drink for smthing like £12.95 not paying £40 for a luxury diner, I am not against that I have treated me and my gf to this local Japanese place on a few occasions just if I am going to do that its meant to be an occasion for that etc.
unless they do, do pub like grub at pub like prices in which case no real point in going elsewhere.
Finally do I just show up and give my name and then ask to be registered etc or will they ask for £220 if I do that etc. I guess I will just ask random people when up there on the day until Tikay or sky staff introduce themselves and tell me how it works or unless that email we get the day before gives the details etc;.
You go to the Tournament Registration Desk on the Ground Floor, and give your name. They will have a list of all Sky Poker Qualifiers & will give you your ticket. Then, 5 minutes before the start, the Table & Seat Draw will be up on al the Plasma Screens, & your name will be on it if you have registered as above.
If still in doubt, just speak to me - I'm the 50 year old smartly-dressed Kevin Costner lookalike.
You will likely get an e-Mail from Sky/James some time today too.

thanks for that, that works well which is good because it would have been awkward to leave the casino for food and rush back etc.
I will likely be away from the forums after tomorrow morning. As my laptop is broken and my phone is crud for getting onto the forums. So anyone who is eager to meet me who might worry they might miss that etc feel free to pm me and if I get the chance can potentially exchange contact details.
@Doubleme what do you look like so i can say hello?
i dont want absolutely everyone to know its me right away because then they would potentially have reads on me without me having reads on them eg if I dont know their screen names. I can pm you if you promise not to share with others and etc. I will introduce myself when up there but after others confirm who they are etc. EG some says for example Hi I Am john screen name billybob2987 (would be quite funny if someone with that exact name and screen name exists but I just made it up so unlikely but I once did something like that before) then I can say Hi I am David screen name doubleme etc. but likely Winni wont be sitting on the chip stack at the beggining of the tourney once everyone knows it me then he can come out. Its flying Winni who coming up now there was a Winni fight over this one.

No need for that David. I shall let you say hello to people when you feel comfortable.
If you see me, 6ft 5, hat, hoodie, feel free to say hello
1) DBI will likely be available from Wednesday & close late Thursday or early Friday.
Hi Tikay,
I checked last night and again this morning but I am unable to buy-in as it states the registration does not open until 4pm tomorrow. Any idea why this is when 3 people have already bought in?

DBI has not opened yet, it will open this morning.
As Dour Bloke mentioned, those three you can see are NOT Buy-ins, they all won their seat last night. (And will be transferred to the respective 1/2/3/4 seat lobbies shortly).
