Hi chaps,

     I'm thinking of playing in the ME, I'm new to these stars tourneys. Can you just turn up and buy- in? Because I'd like to play Thursday, also is it possible to park at Metropole hotel or near?

Many thanks in advance.

John.
           

Parking will be shockingly expensive m8.  Nearest and safest I can think of would be the multi storey at the marina and get taxi/bus back (possibly the Volks Railway for a bit of tourist fun if it's running) or an ok 20 mins walk along the seafront. Dont walk back that way in the dark though !!!

[Coggy]

Think u can buy in at venue but no idea how it will work out.  I'm going for that at about 7 - 7.15 on Thursday then if cant get in, get a cab along to the marina and play there tourney instead (which is a 50/50 on a Thursday). 

Can't Reg online as that fish Amatay can't !!! Sigh

Sigh at missing everyone living it up in btown

Planned to buy into 1b on stars but its sold out. Can't play 1a, unsure now.

It says it's sold out at 80 but cap is 200 per day so would think it will reopen again.

The list of 80 is qualifiers tht are playing 1b, theres a seperate list of people tht have bought in seat only thts capped at 77 for 1b and 70 for 1a. Sighaments

Sigh, at work, fun sweat, hopefully make it, but got someone going to Hilton tonight trying to buy me in if stars fills again

You can buy in at your local Grovesnor, or at the Brighton Grovesnor if you do not wish to buy in through stars. This is what I've been told anyways.

Hi Everybody

Myself and a few others are planning on travelling down to Brighton to play day 1B... That should be easy enough ...you would think....Nah !!

As I didnt want to buy in via Pokerstars and then effectively become a "Pokerstars Player" represent them , wear their colours etc ( + they pay any winnings into your stars account) ..I decided to make various enquires...including  direct buy ins, field capped at how many runners, alternate list , start times etc etc..     got to say it was a  "F****in Nightmare "...It would seem that no human being knows anything about the tournament

Ive tried to speak to pokerstars but they have their own agenda and it appears are not interested in cash buy ins....Spoke to the metrople hotel and they said " what event" ?    ....It goes on and on as you can imagine

If we are travelling down from Sheffield (and various other places in The North)then we dont want to get down there only to be refused a seat... Anyway to cut a long story short The G Casino in Brighton are accepting buy ins on behalf of the Hilton who are hosting the event on behalf of pokerstars...Are you still with me ?      ...Mmmm I wonder why there is a breakdown in communication........

So after going round a million houses I eventually  rang the G casino in Brighton at 11am Tuesday(today) and was told categorically that you could buy in from any G casino in the UK who will effectively ring Brighton and confirm the booking...according to the same lady she says that both days only have 15 or so entrants currently registered but accepts pokerstars have yet to merge their satelite winners into the pool

My advice is... if you want to buy in direct !...get yourselves into your local G casino and buy in from there to secure your seat !

Hope this helps

Peace x


PS...As I said there are a few of us going down so if anybody wants to suggest where we can meet up for drinks on the Thursday night then maybe post on here

PPS...It would seem the people I was going down with have had a change of heart with their plans...so if anybody is wanting to travel down with me by train Thursday ..Im free

Many thanks to all, especially Coggs. Parking in the multi-storey and walking along the seafront sounds simply divine. Not  sure why it'd be slightly precarious at night; I was under the impression, with Flushy living there, that it was a predominantly gay area, and thus very friendly.

That area you'll walk along, Madeira Drive houses Dukes Mound.  A spot no doubt flushy enjoys from the sounds of it, but I don't know him to answer that !!!!

I'm hoping Amatay knows a few faces so i can meet some of ya.

For going out options, feel free to ask away, say what nights and sort of thing your after (ages I spose) and I'll see what I can do.  Thursday nights are basically student nights tho, so you'll get cheap beer, but not many people over 23 !!!

That's great info Coggy, however I've seen that there's a Pret a Manger in Brighton, and that'll do me just fine, as I'm a 40 year old man and no use to anyone.
