Ok. First post... Go easy

So I won a satellite to a live event (deliberately being vague ) through Pokerstars and now can't make it... I have tons of friends who would willingly buy the ticket. What are my options?

Thanks in advance!

Ask Pokerstars if the ticket is transferable

That simple? Am I complicating things? Will try that.

What if it's non-transferrable? Any ideas what might happen with the seat? I've heard they do tournament dollars (or similar) whereby the amount is credited to the account.

Cheers bud.

If it is not-transferable and they do not give you credit your options are:

1) Suck it up and accept that the ticket will go to waste
2) Commit fraud

Ok. I'm intrigued by option 2...

Pray tell

The tournament entry is definitely not transferable. If the package included a hotel you can at least sell that portion of it and just add the persons name to the reservation so they can check-in and get a key.

It might be possible that you could transfer the package to another tour stop, this will involve lots of begging back and forth e-mails I imagine. Good luck.

Cheers dude. I think my best bet is to request the amount in tourney dollars. Does this happen much? It likely? Any advice on how best to request this would be gratefully received.

...Has anyone EVER been able to transfer a seat at a big live event? Would love to sponsor a pal.

Email them and say that you can't attend due to some conflicting thing blah blah... they will give you a credit for a future event on that tour (example if you bail on a UKIPT you will get a credit for a future UKIPT event only) but you can only use it once.
