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

[JohnFR]

Hey Jurollo,
Speaking of which you have any insight for us on which will be the next event that will offer steps, I'm sitting on a few step 4s for the PCA(which ended) and I'm curious which events I might be able to use them for!
Cheers!
John

John,
I have no idea to be honest. They are coming out with seat-only sats for the PCA so perhaps that could be an option, thats only wild speculation though.

Thanks guys,

I did just do this on a whim starting at $7.50, but I also don't mind playing these stakes. I originally wanted the Sydney package, but now I can't go no matter what.

It seems clear my best option at this point is to not win the package and hope Stars just let's me use my unused ticket for the same level on a future step event.

From the posts it seems this is the norm in these situations. If so, why won't PokerStars tell me this instead of telling they basically don't know what they will do at this point?

Anyway, thanks guys. I guess I just sit on the unused ticket.

The steps system is new to Stars starting with these two events so they probably weren't sure what they would do after these run their course. I can say one thing though, you won't just lose your money, anyone who has ever dealt with Stars can assure you of this.
