Many expect the International Stadiums Poker Tour (ISPT) to become the world's largest live tournament ever. The tournament will take place at Wembley Stadium in London between May 31 and June 6th, 2013. The buy-in is €600 (1 rebuy or add-on possible) and 30,000 players (2,631 players have registered so far) are expected to take part and fight for a chunk of the €20,000,000 prize pool.

The direct buy-in is less than na entrance to WSOP ($10,000 equals €8,153.40) so i believe those 1,000 seats can be all easily ocupied. We aren’t talking about na event that will take part in the USA, but still, it may be a good chance for european players to do a cheap travel to UK and investo n this (travel to Las Vegas to be in the WSOP would always be more expensive). It wil be nice to see pics from the stadium with the 3,000 players.
So the online tournament is like a satellite for the live tournament, when players can buy-in directly for the live tournament... Probably the prizes will also be distributed like there was 3000 players at the beginning.
Pretty nice idea to make it online AND live for the important part. No way they could make 30 000 players play live at the same place, would take so much space and dealers lol!
