Do they have a separate line for people who pre-registered and just need to pick up seat assignments, or does everybody have to get in one big line?

They have a separate room for pre-registration.

Re: WSOP Day 1 Seat Assignment & Count
 

All,

Someone wrote that Sat and Sun were sold out and that was 3k each day?

If that is correct, that's 6k + ~1600 + Monday.

Possibly more entrants this year than last?

If all that is correct, that would turn out to be a pretty big surprise to most everyone and an indicator that poker is staying quite a bit stronger than many people thought.

I wouldn't say "quite a bit stronger" since the progression of entries over the past few years would mean we'd need a few thousand more this year to be in the "quite a bit stronger" range. If it is in the 9000 range then we can say that poker is doing the same but we'd need a couple years' more results to get a real indicator.

looks like 7500 +- 500 based on day 1a's #'s

This is all just idle speculation, but I still doubt there will be 7000 people. 6000-6500 seems like the most likely range.

Not that El D needs help from me, but he didn't say "quite a bit stronger" than last year, he said "quite a bit stronger than many people thought."

Re: WSOP Day 1 Seat Assignment & Count
 

I just registered an hour or so ago and was told they were at 4,600 over all four days right now.

Re: WSOP Day 1 Seat Assignment & Count
 

I just registered as well for Day 1b today.
Table 196 Seat #1

I was also told at that time,that there are 1520 players today,1500+ tomm(CLOSED and not available as of now for registration) and 1035 on Monday.
I assuming the next few days Sat. winners will be filling in Mondays "shortage" to even out the #'s

All,

"Someone wrote that Sat and Sun were sold out and that was 3k each day?

As has been posted in a few threads, that initial report was apparently incorrect and they were temporarily closed at 1500, not 3000.

Looks like about 5,300 so far based on stephen's post.
