    Meh, put it in the BB sticky but maybe get more exposure here?

    Would any of you Reps for the online poker companies out there be interested in running sats for Champions League final tickets?

    You could run it like any normal big buy in tourney sat except have tickets and Accom fot the winner?

    Go on?

    Its definitely marketable and would for sure have enough interest even from those who dont play poker?

    Noel Hayes? Mike/Dev? Paul Spillane-heres your chance?

    I think PPP did this last time and I think its a great idea.

    Maybe Boyles could run a few sats as they sponsor a premiership team so much have access to tickets etc.

    I would be up for it.

    P.S. Liverpool fan, thats how confident I am...

    Great idea. The tickets would have to be for the Man United end:D

    You could look at it as a tournament with huge overlay given what you could sell the tickets for...

    I hate touts, though...

    it would be quite difficult to organise due to having to apply for visas 4 weeks in advance

    Isn't every regular tournament a satellite for buying real world things? It does sound cool, but why can't we have a satellite for 6 beers, a line of coke, and a top class hooker? Or I need to buy a bed, I want a poker satellite for beds, and a desk, chair, and maybe a bucket of some description.

    Get it sorted Noel.

    Was trying to do this for the Liverpool United game a while ago, people were saying they wouldnt play cos they didnt want to win tickets and end up in the wrong side of the ground. wtf? May try it for a few games next season, think its too late for the CL final.

    Sure as I am that United fans are confident in their team I doubt either they or the Liverpool/Chelsea fans thought about picking up a visa application form from the Russian Embassy. The Russian authorities have made allowance for the arrival of foreign fans I am sure.

    i've had my visa now for 2 months,it took 2 months to get.
    The russian authorities claim to have a 'special office' set up for the final but i can guarantee there will be alot of fans up in arms when they can't get visa applications rushed through,they want your money,after that they won't give a sh1t.
