Stars' site says San Remo is 8,000 Euros, so I'm not sure where you're getting that figure ($7400) from.

I think travel/hotel accommodations should only be included for events that are $8,000 and up. This won't include the WSOP preliminary events OR the smaller APPT events(unless Stars wants to throw a bone).

Why do YOU think that travel shouldn't be included??? This thread and all threads like it should be treated as a sort of a "players union" if poker stars is willing to come here and ask our opinions and what we want and how we would like to have it we need to address it as such.If poker stars is willing to give a player travel expenses to go play a 1500$ tourney please don't put the idea in their head not to. If you make elite next year which you have said you are thinking about wouldn't you like to go to a few of the smaller WSOP tourney's and spread your chances of winning out instead of playing 3 big tourneys you could play 8 smaller ones and increase your chances of making a big score. Wouldn't it be nice to have travel expenses paid? You should never be suggesting us giving some thing up or trading always ask for it then if they don't wanna give it offer some thing you really don't want or would like to trade off for it but please don't offer to give things up. When I read in this thread earlier people were suggesting to do away with the vip tourneys or give them up I cringed, a better way is to suggest they give us some thing because our needs aren't being satisfied DUCY this is better you are asking for something else but could possibly retain the other thing too and definitely NEVER suggest some thing not be given. If I was in charge of this @ poker stars I would be like hell they want the 50k gone DONE no travel expenses on tourneys under 10k DONE man these guys are easy to screw they tell us not to give it to them. Just reading this thread it has sounded on more than one occasion to me that we were more than ready to give up things that would have been nicer to have in ADDITION to what we want. I hate having to play the vip tourney on Saturdays but I tell you what if they gave us a bonus and kept the tourney I bet you the player attendance wouldn't drop any. I hope I am not offending you pokerboy I am just suggesting we word things a little better and not be so hasty to give up so much so quick. This was the first year they did this and there were basically promising us to make things even better in the coming year lets see if they will add stuff to what we already have before we go offering to trade things or suggest some thing isn't needed.
