Yeah, I thought that was kind of weird.
Curious how tough it's going to be to fill up those $2100 buy-in 2-table SNG's.

I'm curious too, this could probably be done mathematically since the tickets aren't cashable for anything other than the next step. Like if you count (or estimate) the number of the $7.50s will go off each day, and make an assumption that whenever anyone wins a ticket to the next step they use it within 24 (or pick another number) hours, you can probably figure out a baseline number of 2100s that will run (plus some extras because of people buying in directly).

not everyone will run their way up all the way from the 7's.
You might even have a couple of high-stakes SNG pro's who just camp-out in the $2100's looking to win W$ from softish fields.

even if that weren't the case, it's not like you're going to get one to go off the instant that 18 people acquire a ticket.
you could have 50 people hanging onto a $2100 ticket but still have a tough time getting 18 of them together at the same time.

going the other way:
using them within 24 hours is a bold assumption. I had a couple of $215 party-steps that I hung onto for a few wks just because I didn't feel very inspired to play them at that time.
