Big Event. Can I go?

[warrantofice]

Just start this off, this is a complete donkey post.

I really just want to know, how can i win entrance into a big event? WSOP, WPT, I just want to go on vacation, and play some poker, and i'd rather not spend 10k doing so.

How can I, if i'm decent at tournament poker, qualify to go to one of these events? Whats the best site? How much money should i budget for qualifiers? Has anybody done this? And can you give me the scoop on how its done.
