The venue may be different from last year. Please wait for any updates.
Oh dear! Apologies - I was going off Neil’s post in the European IFPA group a couple of weeks ago, but if this has changed since then I will of course update immediately.
Some of the team members are viewing an alternative venue this week.
Thank you! Just didn’t want people booking hotels etc if an alternative venue is found.
Bugger! Already booked on basis of Neil's post, so I'm hoping for no change.Thank you! Just didn’t want people booking hotels etc if an alternative venue is found.
Yep, same same, fingers crossed
To update The UK Open will be taking place at The Hilton in Croydon
Booked premier inn for 2 nights should be another good event. The open is at the same hotel as last year?

What is the player cap number?
If tickets went on sale at 7pm, and you posted this at 6:14. How had 100 tickets been sold?
Or am I missing something?
Shows as 7:14 posted to me. Something might be up with your forum times? Maybe it's a timezone issue on the forum

I think it's usually around 180?
130 tickets sold after the first hour and a bit

Picked up my tickets, how often do the Registered Players get updated at Play Pinball? Looking forward to putting up some terrible cards and then kicking back and watching some good players slay those same tables in Finals.
Great! The list gets updated a couple of times a day.
