Good day mobsters .. I do not write much but here is important the news .. I fulfilled my dream of winning a game to a live tournament in Europe Dusk Till Dawn Casino in Nottingham united kingdom by means of satellites in the room partypoker but I am told to tell them That this server is not going to play since I only win the seat, there are no packages with tickets or stay, it's sad not to have money .. I wish I could get a sponsor, it would be the only option, well at least my challenge was overcome when I won That seat with satellites from 1 cent dollar, almost the style of money maker greetings and luck at the tables.

well i have to admit that i have no idea what 74/5000 means, but you say you won a live tournament seat ($275 worth) from 1 cent and this is really awesome, my math skills are to 4th grader to tell how much of an roi this is, but i guess it's quite a bit more than just big.

74/5000 I already corrected it .. lol I do not know how to collect that .. regarding the ticket that wins if it starts with 1 cent and was very hard .. I won with 1 cent a ticket of 2.20 later me Win the $ 11 back I win the $ 55 and end with the $ 275 for the live event but I do not have the money or sponsorship to travel and stay. Lamentablente. I'm very sad about it, it was a dream to reach that point.

well you should think about it before you played that 55$ sat... always read if there is full package or only ticket... well 275$ buy in live tournament isnt that much... going to great britain and stay there would cost you 3x buy in...maybe even more... nobady would sponsor you this... maybe some generous mobster from england that you could stay at his place could help you up and you to pay trip... but still trip to GB would cost you more than buy in.... my suggestion is to contact partypoker support and see if you can change that ticket for T$ or maybe you could sell to someone that ticket... that would be best option...

Wow. Congratulations, waoz, for winning a seat to the $275 buy-in Dusk Till Dawn tournament in Nottingham. It is very unfortunate that you will not be able to participate in the event for some reason. Did you speak with a PartyPoker representative?

ok, but can you give your ticket to someone else... I talked to buva. He is in ireland and he might buy that ticket from you if he can play instead of you...

well it looks like there's not a lot that can be done here, as StheP said that contacting party support is the only way out, and by te looks of things they are not in the mood to give you anything (and you can't really blame them- they just stick to the rules, that were clearly posted in the tourney lobby), so you can only try to ask them for a favour, point that you are a loyal customer of theirs etc., maybe they will decide to give a way out.... not a big chance though... and yeah- you should ask if you can sell the ticket to some other person.

well he said he is short on money and he cannot buy it... maybe some other mobster will come in your way... but chances are slim... it seems you waste you time and your 1c :S

Currently I am in Ireland too - just like buva, but I will only buy out tourney tickets if I don't have to cross the sea in order to play them

sorry, but every tourny says not to play if you cannot go - as transferring ticket probably isnt allowed. also for a $275 ticket would be hard to find any room that has a package. there are south america poker tours so why not try those instead also there is water between Ireland and england

It appears that you are not allowed to exchange the ticket or convert it to tournament dollars of equivalent value ($275). If I were you I would ask PartyPoker support if they can swap the $275 ticket for tournament dollars of much lesser value. What if they say they can offer you, let's say, $175 tournament dollars instead?

Hi guys. This ticket is only good for the DTD game in UK for the specific DTD 200. Can you transfer it to another player? maybe someone would be willing to buy it.... anywhere from 0.01c (what you paid for it) I guess would be a reasonable offer. Otherwise it's going to waste in your account and expire on 31 March.

Sad to see that you will not be able to play this live tournament, just like you I also dream about olaying big live tournament, just would be very interesting to feel this, maybe play vs some poker pro who i only see on some news. Good luck to you waoz next time you will win something better that you can use
