Playing the "Steps" on Stars but can't go on the trip

[ffr]

well, I won't lose if the right play is ...NOT TO PLAY.

This is why I am trying to find out what my best option is at this point. I'd rather know now before I actually win the seat and can't do anything.

I know I haven't won the seat yet, but it seems at this point it would be stupid for me to try and win the seat.

Does anyone that has experience with these things have any other option then to simply not play anymore and wait and see what PokerStars decides to do with the unused tickets?
