Sky release 100 seats for televised Grand Final at DTD

[gatso]

It won't let me register says my card is registered to another account.

do you have a skybet a/c? they're linked so you log into the poker using that

[DesD]

I iz confused, can you clarify please tony. this is from the confirmation email from sky

You'll find myself and the team in the reception area of the card room from midday onwards where you'll need to complete your membership with the card room and register for the tournament.

so we need to register for the tournament even though we've already bought in/qualified? surely not. what if my train is late so I miss the start and don't register on time?

No, that's not quite right gatso.

By "register" they mean, sort of, "report for duty". Everyone gets "ticked off" (literally, not figuratively) on the Master List when they arrive at the Sky Poker Welcome Desk so we know who has, & has not, arrived, then you get issued with a name badge by young Sarah, & given your sooper-dooper Sky-Poker Card-Marker etc. This is not your regular Tourney, we schmooze you & kiss you & that sort of thing. Commentary, too, God help you. Heckling ftw.

Did you buy-in/qualify on Sky, or buy-in at DTD, as a matter of interest?

PS - If you are running late, ring me, & I'll make sure you are sorted out.

I'm not kissing gatso...... will make exception for Chilli though

i do not have a bank account and there fore cant open a sky account which is wot i wanted to do so i could buy in online to make sure i have a seat but also u r sayin the winnings gets paid into my sky account yes? so if i win i have no way of withdrawin this money do i ? so wot im sayin is that my brother has account could i not use his account to buy in online and get any winnings paid into his account ? sorry to ask u all this but the customer support is useless im on live chat to him now and he is not helpin much.....i have asked if i can use a pre paid card to deposit and been told yes but i cant withdraw from it because of fraud reasons....my argument with this is how can i be frauding anybody as i wont play on the site i will be playin the live event.......

Sky Poker are monitoring this Thread smuzzles, & will either answer themselves, or let me know the answer, & I'll reply accordingly

For now, my advice is that there are only two ways to Enter, officially, being......

1) Qualify on Sky Poker, or buy-in Direct, on Sky Poker.

2) Buy in for Cash at DTD. You wll need a Sky Poker Account to receive any winnings though.

There are now approx 215 seats paid for, (188 + 22 + 5) with, if it goes through, 10 more awaiting "approval", and Capacity is, I think, 270.  So I'd strongly recommend you buy-in quickly. 

This is correct.  Payments are being made directly into Sky Poker accounts $muszlesz$.  DTD will be reimbursing the direct buy ins back to Sky Poker on Saturday, so they will not be holding any tournament entries by the time the players reach the cash.

LOL - leave it as Terry please Sky bods.

May I ask why do they use the name "Terry"? The names generated on the Player List - as yours was, at Swansea - are generated from the Player's Sky Poker Account. So I'm assuming that was the Registered name - no? If not, I'm sure it will be corrected.

Ok here goes,

"Terry" is officially my 1st name it is the name my biological father gave me when i was born my mum hated the name but he wouldn't budge,he left mum on the 29th september 1968( he was and is a 1st class shyster) 1 day after i was born,so my mum called me by my middle name which is Ian to which i am known.

it is a pain in the arse tbh.

The latest info is that 231 seats have now been Sold, or qualiified for.

Capacity is 270, so with 3 days to go, only 39 seats remain available.

Online Satellites will run tonight & Thursday night, which will eat into the balance.

So, almost certain to sell out.

If you want a Seat, I strongly advise you organise it quickly.

If youi do not already have a Sky Poker Account, please consider using the blonde Link. This benefiits blondepoker. Thanks.
