  1. Dear P5s friends
    I won a package to "APPT Auckland 9th-12th Oct."at the weekend on stars--buy in and hotel accom.+$2.200 for flights.
    Do Stars allow tranfer of this package??--some1 else to play,or use??
    I am totally legit--single dad,and cannot travel and take part--family commitments+credit crunch!!
    I come from the U.K.
    I am not looking for any monies,maybe a % if player happens to cash--seems a waste of a package--if it can be used by someone else--possibly Aussie P5s-
    I hope i,m not gonna get flamed for this post!!
    Thanks
    John

    Youre gonna need to get stars' permission before attemtping this, email them IMMED!!!!
     
  5. I dont know stars policy that well but I want to say you generally cant transfer this to anyone.

    This is definitely something you needed to look at before playing the tourney. However I guess you won like 2k in spending cash so its prolly worth it anyways.
  6. allright sharkzilla--i,m happy as it is--with $2.200 cash
    scanning p/stars lobby--came across the above tourney-$2 entry--2 packages garanteed-APPT Auck. with 46 entrants--1 minute to start--had to enter--duly won it,47 runner.

    "Was only asking comunity--if possible to tranfer--as i did not know P/Stars policy!!"

    Also give some1 a chance of playing in a mega tourney and having a weeks free lodgings in Sky Casino Hotel for zilch--and if he cashed % could come my way.

    This promo is on for 7 nights consec.--$2 rebuy now with average up to 93 runners.
    Will be playing this tourney for rest off week--also would suggest any other U/K P5s
    to do same.

  7. hey, umm I'm not sure if pokerstars will allow a transfer, I've got a sinking feeling that they won't, but I'm going to email them now anyway to find out. But, I am pretty sure, that if I drive up to auckland, and talk to the powers at be there, they can ring you up, and get your permission to give your seat to whoever you want.
     
  8. While not 100% on this, I'm pretty confident with stars sats that aren't WSOP you have to play your first package.

  9. http://www.pokerstars.com/appt/terms/

    scroll down to rule 9, to find this excerpt:

    "The first APPT prize package you win for an event, whether through a Satellite or in any other way on the Site, is non-transferable and non-exchangeable and cannot be exchanged for money or money's worth. If you win, you must play or forfeit the package. If you win additional packages, they may not be sold or transferred; your PokerStars account will be credited with both W$ equal to the value of the entry/accommodation package plus the nominated spending/travel cash for that event."

    so that sucks :( I'm stil wondering if maybe we can get around it by going directly through the auckland casino.

    how did you find this tourny? i always look for things like this but never come across them
  11. Thanks for the reply,s "Bond" & "Emufart"

    Guess thats it--P/stars rules clearly state.

    Woulda been great to give ya a chance "Emufart" of playin a big tourney,as it woulda been relativly a freeroll""

    Ah well srry for wastin your time!

    If you have any luck with the casino or with P/stars-- Emu --since you got in first the package will be yours--

    My player name on "stars" is --SWEETHAYLEY
    Andrew John Ritchie

    Good Luck

  12. Hey Andrew, I havn't had any luck yet. But i'm going to keep trying!
    Theres stil a couple of people I'm going to try to contact about it, so fingers crossed. I'll let you know once I've got a definate yes or no.
     
  13. Hey! It looks like we might be in luck after all!
    I sent this email to pokerstars support.

    >Hi there, my name is Sam Williams (emufart69 on pokerstars). I am writing
    to you in reagards to a quiery I have about the upcoming APPT Auckland
    tournament.I have a friend, Andrew Ritchie (SWEETHAYLEY on pokerstars),
    who recently played in a qualifier on pokerstars and won a package to the
    auckland tournament. The problem is that he's a single father living
    overseas who simply can't take the time away from his kids to come play in
    it.He has since learned that pokerstars will not allow the transfer of his
    seat to another player, and is obviously very upset by this. We both feel,
    that although pokerstars has this rule clearly printed on its website, it
    is an unjust one, and not the kind of treatment that we would have
    expected of pokerstars to its loyal players. I live in Hamilton, NZ. I am
    a young upcoming poker player who lives, breathes and eats poker. It has
    been my dream for a long time to play in a prestegious live event, and I
    have heard nothing but great things about the APPT tournaments. Needless
    to say, when Andrew offered me his seat, I was estatic, a dream come true.
    >
    >It would also be in pokerstars best financial interest to swap the seat
    across, because although it may feel like they are simply giving away a
    few grand now, they would more than make up for that by the on going rake
    paid by two very satisfied customers. So please, please, if you can find a
    way for us to change the seat over, it would mean so much to the both of
    us.Thankyou, Sam.

    I just got a reply from them saying this:

    Hello Sam,

    Thank you for your email.

    Please have Andrew Ritchie contact us from his registered email address in
    regards to this issue.

    Thank you for playing at PokerStars.

    Regards,

    Hoong
    PokerStars Support Team

    You can email them at support@pokerstars.com.
    I guess maybe write something like "attention Hoong" in the subject.

    how did you find this tourny? i always look for things like this but never come across them

    my best geuss is that this promotion is canceled .LOL@2$rebuy and 2 seats guaranty this is just insane value even with 100 runners,i looked for it and cant find it like i thought...

  15. I assume he is talking about the tournament that starts at 20:00. The $2.20+R, which guarentee's 2 people a seat.
  16. For the Attention of Hoong P/stars support

    Dear P/stars "Hoong"

    I won a package to "APPT Auckland" and cannot attend --due to family commitments "single dad"

    I went onto "Pocket 5s" [which i am a member] to ask their community ,if any of them knew P/stars rules --regarding -- if it was possible to let someone else play and use this package!!

    In no way was i touting to sell or gain from this package--I would rather give someone a chance to attend and use,and gather some experience in playing in a Mega live tournament ,than waste it!!

    { I will copy and paste whole transcript on Pocket5s at the end of this e-mail }

    I accept P/stars have rules in place { and will abide by whatever decision you take in this matter }

    I think P/stars have a lot to gain in this matter,---

    You are promoting a new tour "APPT"-- a player from that region "Sam Williams" { emufart69 } already a player on P/stars,21 yrs old--.

    I guarantee this will be 1 loyal player for you "P/stars" for many years to come,and the amount of people he will tell about this--will only benefit P/stars in the long run!!

    My motto in life is---Its Nice to be Nice---

    I hope that this shows--that not all poker players are greedy and self centred

    Thanks for your time
