just give him a price ffs, stop trying to upsell it
RAM_Eh
Here is my take;
Law of supply and demand, if he can get more why not. People are always selling tickets for face value or more... how about Leaf tickets at " face value"...:bs: they buy the season tickets for less than face value and sell them at cost...(sure its face value).
A couple of years ago I won 2 seats to the Fallsview $1000.00 and sold one of them for $1300, cause that was the going rate. I won a $2500.00 seat also and sold it for $ 2200.00 CAUSE THAT WAS THE GOING RATE.

I refuse to feel sorry for anyone that has to pay a mark up on a 1k given that at this point, people have months to get be for it sells out, knowing it will sell. I didn't pre-order a PS4 and if I wanted one for Christmas or even know, I pay going rate...but I could have got it for face value if I planned better...same deal

Go the day of the 1k early, get a seat in the cash game and make it known right away you want a seat for the 1k but will only pay 1k or less (I said 800 last time) word travels fast and if people have them still they will come up to you 5mins before tourney starts and give it to you, if not sit and play cash and make what would have been a min cash and leave by 4pm home for dinner and money in your pocket.
Think about this, if you thought you were so +ev you would have bought a ticket a long time ago.

I plan to go down now for only the Thursday morning and stick to cash games.
Can someone confirm the 5/10 is $1k min and $5k max. Also, will 2/5 still be $500 max during the WPT? Seems like a much better option to play 500BB max 5/10 vs 100BB 2/5, even if you buy in short for the 5/10 game. Rather have everyone starting with 100BB, versus a lot of players that buy in short for the 2/5 game.

Could be wrong, but I think it's usually $200-$2000 for 5/10 but maybe they will change it for WPT week?

The poker room has been ordered to stop running the lowest $125 and $235 satellites. :( I already know this means that there will not be enough players for the $1,050 and possibly the $550 satellites too. My name just got called & there are only three of us willing to play the $1,050.
Since the $125 satellites have been terminated, the $550 satellite failed to run later. Then stoopid players signed up for the $1,050, but when the list of over ten names were called, only three of us (with vouchers) bothered to show up! If I didn't have a new iPad to play with (where I can watch the Olympics & other live TV shows if I wanted to) & if I didn't enjoy talking to dealers while wasting 30-60 minutes for $1050 and $550 satellites that will fail to run, I would be going on life tilt like the other enraged players.
pokerJAH, I confirmed with the pit manager that the 5/10 is and will continue to be $500 min, $2000 max during WPT week, i.e., 50-200 BB. There will be a maximum of only two 2/5 tables running.

Thanks, so I assume the 2/5 will be $1k max? Likely sign up for both and see which has the better action. Won't bother going over to the old casino as most of the players that bust out of the tournament will likely just head to the cash games at Fallsview.

You're welcome.
No, see my

This is why fallsview will always be one pile of dog shit. Floor have no balls and no comprehension of how to run a room. Guess what if your name is on the list you get called once and if you're not around your name gets rolled down or off totally. Calling names 2 and 3 times is a waste. The satty should be run the same way. Call 10 names and if 10 bodies aren't sitting down call names till they have 10.
Stupid situations like the one above would never exist as players would be conditioned to be alert and ready to move if their name is visible on the screen.
Please the 80 percent and screw the 20, not the other way around.

2-5 will never be max 1k at fallsview for the simple reason that it pushes bad players away. It's enough of a nitfest as it is.

People who bust out of the tournament will have a list a mile long and will spend 6 hours trying to get on the table unless they get bumped to the top like previous years

$1,050 Satellite list with 24 names.
Call all 24 names, within 5 minutes, then announce open seating because....
...only 5 people show up to play.
Fallsview could probably improve on this how?

Why does a 10 person table get to 24? Especially with open tables and dealers twiddling their thumbs

anyone know how late reg works for these? full stack or being blinded off?

If past years are any indication there will be a huge line in the hallway to get registered. You may have a 30 min buffer to work with.
blackmagicz
Basically what I was trying to say is the staff has conditioned the players there knowing that they can sign up for everything and know their names will be called 4 times before they are moved off the list.
If someone can confirm that names are called once and then a minute later a final call is made and they are deleted I may decide to go back to play in that establishment.
Otherwise the place is a complete joke and yes I can voice my opinion because I have played all over and for many years and I'm not an ass hole to dealers or floor staff ever, I'm polite, I tip a dollar when I win a hand and I follow proper poker etiquette.
So to get me aggravated enough to make sure I don't ever come back to a venue again is pretty bad.
With that being said I would love to sit down with floor staff and management anytime they would like to provide objective information that doesn't go against olg rules that can be implemented.
The problem is it will upset their regulars who have basically made sure they get their way by throwing temper tantrums when they don't get their table change or if the dealer makes an innocent mistake.
I would run that room like a military base and it would be so efficient people would love to be on the waiting list knowing that they would be treated objectively and fairly

Don't hold them on an on demand basis. Schedule them at specific times. Let people register a week in advance for a specific sat. Add more to the schedule as the SATs fill up. Pay cash instead of tickets if the sat doesn't sell out.
It's not rocket science.

Per TDA rules, late registrants will be sold a full stack (unlike silly Brantford where unsold dead stacks get blinded off). For example, when forumers make the final table on Day 3 of the $1100 event, we have until Level 9 to late register for the $2500 event with a full stack. We won't be allowed to multi-table.

My $2500 voucher is waiting at the cage for me. I plan to arrive about an hour before start time. Do people think this will be sufficient? Should I expect a lineup/wait to claim my voucher and register?
Thanks
