dear tk.i would like ask u one question.could somebody else play at spt in glasgow because i have a holiday? Posted by izabel
Hey izabel,
unfortunately, SPT places are non-transferable and you would have to play in the event yourself if you qualified. However, if certain circumstances arise (that are unpredictable/unavoidable) and result in you no longer being able to play, the Customer care team may be able to help find a solution.
Rich, it is getting really hard to get a table going to satellite through! Even the Semi isn't getting enough runners? How can I qualify!? Lol...Automatic place!? Posted by Ads2kuk
Get 4 players who have already qualified to go into the semi with you, get them to fold every hand and agree to pay them back when you meet them in Glasgow.
Oh hang on..... that would only work if there was only 5 of you on the table
Hi there Tikkay i'm very much new to this & very much a novice in fact i dont even know what most of the terminology means , but like many others i dare to dream about winning big . For instance the Sky Vegas Live i know that the lucky winners have their flights & hotel & buy in paid for & their partner goes with them . Brilliant , fantastic & all the other magical words , but what i want to know is on the SPT Glasgow do the luck winners get any travel/hotel costs paid for or are they to make their own way which is about 500 miles from where i live .

Hi there Hjaltland go on tell him tk lol please you tell me what i want to know it was a polite inquiry so you tell me Geese
Hi Geese, i don't doubt it was a polite inquiry and i wish i only lived 500 miles from Glasgow..... it costs me in excess of £1.000 to make it to an SPT and i consider it money well spent every couple of months.
If SKY paid expenses for qualifiers i'd have been barred long ago.
To put it in perspective...i'm no poker shark far from it but i enjoy playing...last year my wife was diagnosed with possible cancer and during the test period for this problem i qualified for the Manchester SPT....i said hang the expense we are going and we will have fun, eat fine food and meet fine people, just before we went my wife got the all clear and we had a great time at the Manchester SPT.
Next i qualified for the Newcastle SPT again we had a really great time and met more nice people...14 hours on a ferry, train fares, car hires, hotels and SHOPPING, it's like a weekend away every now and then when we are so glad the news was not of the worst.
Get yourself to Glasgow, say Hi and the first round is on me.
Why are there no sattelites running for £2.60? Were they not getting enoug runners? Also, is the buy-in for the main event in Nottingham more than for the rest of the tour?

Hey there,
let me quickly answer your questions...
There were last time around but unfortunately this year the tour has had no satellites running for £2.60.
The buy-in for Nottingham will be £220 (but please bear in mind this will only be available much nearer the time and if seats are available)
Hopefully that answers a few things for you but if you need anyting else - just shout.
Is it true that the blind levels at the Glasgow leg will go up every ten minutes?? Although I'm looking forward to it as it will be my first participation on the SPT, I do think that that is a bit of a turbo, especially for a live tournament! Thanks Posted by style2737
Thanks for replying to this mate!
Sorry for the delay, I have not been on forum for a while.
Good luck to everyone in the Glasgow SPT! I'm gutted I won't be playing as it is two days before my final exam.
I was looking forward to my first SPT on my own door step as well.

hey there Jackattak.
well done on Qualifying!
emails will be sent to all players (who qualified) nearer the date of the event (probably a week or so before.)
if you need anything else - just shout.
Rich

Have a look at this page here.
You'll find all the tour dates there and sats for Swansea will probably start just after the Glasgow leg
All the best.

Ah well, I suppose Swansea will have to do.
See you all there.
