avongirl Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Re: Apat Season 4 Announcement More details on the APAT site http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=5149.0 Will just highlight this change to how live seats are sold. The clickfest has always proved problematic and wildly expensive to host in merchandising fees. Clickfest seats will now be sold through a special Betfair tournament lobby, which will go live at exactly 9pm on the advertised clickfest night. This will save us a great deal of effort and should be a far smoother process for members. The Seat Exchange and player list will be managed as in all previous years.
