when I entered the lobby of this tournament I was also very surprised that tickets for 22 dollars are played out in him and not ordinary money .... but apparently such rules of this tournament ... and they will not change ... Therefore you have to play and fight for these tickets ... there are not so many participants in this tournament so there is a good chance to win a ticket .... Good luck in the game

PP no longer has real money games, now they are all tournament tickets, so you can not withdraw playing freeroll, they force you to leave it again in the room. That is a monopoly, we should stop playing in the room and force them to return to real money and stop so much tournament ticket

so thats why we have this 1012 $ prize pool!this is very strange decision from party poker!we didnt have this kind of chrismtas freeroll ever and its not good!we had normal money tournament!I never looked at lobby of this tournament prize structure,so thats why I didnt see this change with prize!we waited for two months for this freeroll and now we get this
It surprises me that very few people participate in the tournament ... Less than 400 people ... for me it is amazing ... there are a lot of people registered on this site ... and it seemed to me that many doors open on the calendar every day ... to me it seemed that there would be more participants .... but there it’s better for the participants

This is news for me. Didnt know that party poker has stopped giving real money in their freerolls. Not a good practice if you ask me, but hey im not an expert This way it wont be that easy to take out money from the site, by playing freerolls.
It's about their agreement with the host sites I imagine. Yeah, the rake part after anything you'll use these tickets is really just an unfortunate inflation on the prizepool, but it could be worse. Doing all this in play money so you would come away with absolutely nothing in the end So, there's that, just my two cents.

If you look other party freerolls they are same prize in tickets. Some freerolls changed in 1$ buyin. In lobby i have only jackpot freeroll and this, other was restriction for me and dont see. Party changed and dont give generously in poker and casino like before.

PP is going in the wrong direction, killing free rolls, going up in buy ins, and now this our yearly calendar free roll they are turning it into ticket fest, whats next PP, if we ever win any cash on your poker site you will give us tickets or hold on the money to your site and never release it, i dont see this going anywhere good.

There are no passwords for this tournament .... If you opened 50 doors in December in the calendar, then you are automatically registered in this tournament ... Go to the PartyPoker client and look for yourself in the list of players for this tournament ... And if you there is no So you either did not open 50 doors in December or there were some violations

Hi Guys. Its now the morning after the night before and the Christmas free roll has been played!
I agree with the sentiment above and was met with much sadness and disappointment when the game started and i looked in the lobby to see what the prize breakdown was to find everyone from 46th upwards got the same prize! Not even an imaginative breakdown of first gets a bigger ticket... $109 ticket or something to represent the victory! As it was , it became a SLOW fest after about 55th place with no one wanting to go out empty handed. I saw poor old DEMODAWWGY go out about 52nd, and I ended up in 38th at the time the tourney ended.
Well done to everyone who played and got a ticket, but i think NEXT TIME more imagination is required from party and the BRM guys to vary the ticket distribution from $5.50 up to $215 tickets as a representative reflection of peoples achievements in the game and makes the tourney better contested for all.

Congratulations to all of us who won the $ 22 ticket, but sorry for the distribution of prizes. I think that for next year they should look for another room to play this freeroll where money is distributed and not tickets. In PP it is impossible to do banking playing free, all the prizes are in tickets, so that the money does not leave the room. Thanks for the tournament but rethink for next year.
