How to get a ticket to tv table?

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but I was wondering how to go about getting a seat to watch some of the tv tapings at the WSOP? I didn't see anything at the wsop website or in a quick scan of this topic. Thanks,

Lee

Just walk in. This isn't the WWF or something (although some of those monkeys act like it).

Seeing as, for a while atleast, Rizen's child was able to be watching, is there an age limit on railbirds? I'm thinking about making the trip just to watch a bit, I'm 20

Being that it's the convention center, and that you're 20, I doubt anyone will hassle you. Just don't drink, and don't make a scene.

they let rizen's kid watch?
wow, didn't know that.

You are supposed to be 21...but I didn't see them carding anybody last year.

At the featured-table for the ESPN events...or to just rail-bird the other events...just show up.

Kind of crowded along the rail during the main-event of course. And you really can't see much anyway.

While I was playing in the main-event last year a 2+2'er I know was sitting in the bleachers watching the ESPN featured table and saw Jennifer Harman blow most of her stack in the opening level (full-house got rivered by a st-flush as I recall).

Not quite sure how it works for the final table at Binions though.
Curious if it's just first-come, first-seated. Or if they have some method for determining who gets a seat there.

yeah. she was very pissed at that one on the tv coverage b/c the guy pulled a horrible delay + speach, and then call on the river with the ST-F. I'm guessing she said a lot of bad words that they didn't show on TV.

No final table at Binions this year MicroBob, at least not for the WSOP anyway!

1) You don't need a ticket, just show up.

2) Somehow, Rizen's wife got the stroller all the way to the viewing area before gettign kicked out. You must be 21 to be in the area but they didn't ID anyone and we were with some youngish looking people.

3) Rizen owns. OBV
