Ben: hi garth, i was wondering if i could buy a ticket for the grand final. i have played 13 away games this season, but couldn't make it to any of the rebuy games, so i want to buy in directly.

Garth: sorry, you have to go find someone that has already won a ticket and buy it off him for $500 instead of buying it from us. It's not our fault you didn't make the effort to play a satellite and try and win one, maybe next season you will...


FYP...



tell me how this increases the amount of tickets available?

May as well continue to allow direct buy-ins if that's the case.

Good point Pete. In fact if you can't get them direct from 888pl, they would be worth much more, and that is even MORE incentive to try and win one....

lets say a group of 5 players went around and won 5 tickets each, then decided to well their tickets for $700, and this was the only way that you could get a ticket.

what is the point besides lining the pockets of these players? i think that is completely wrong. players that win multiple tickets should not expect to make huge amounts of profit from them selling them to other players.

That would indeed be like someone paying more than the entry fee for a WSOP ticket, kinda silly.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

You are forgetting that those players have made the effort to enter the tournaments, turn up & win the tickets. Why is it wrong for them to sell them?

Are you saying that players who enter tournaments and win prizemoney are greedy too?

I don't think anyone is suggesting it's wrong to sell them.

No different to scalping tickets to a Sold Out event....

i never said it was wrong to sell them.

but i think it is wrong to scalp them for prices higher than you could directly buy in for.
