Default Registration Filling Up?

Don't know if the cage person was misinformed or not, but a friend of mine tried registering in-person for the Main Event this morning, and was told that the only day not sold out was Friday, and that there were only a few hundred seats still available for Friday.

If anyone has info to the contrary (like anyone who might register today), I'd love to know...

Has there been any sort of running count (even an unofficial one) released recently that has indicated how many players are currently registered?

Is there a difference between 'registration filling up'/'event selling out' and 'Harrah's trying to funnel players to Day 1A'? Because the latter sounds like what's happening.

Definitely agree...just a matter of what can you do when the cashier tells you that you can't register for the day you want...

There has to be a lot of seats left - there are 2 super-satellite days on Wed/Thur that will generate at least a couple hundred more seats above and beyond all the people getting there this week to register.

I want to know this too, as I would like to go out and play in the ME, but don't want to get out there and find out I can't play. I called their hotline, but basically it's just a recording and lets you leave a message that will be returned in 72hrs [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I was planning on getting there Thurs early morning and registering - you think there will be seats left?

I spoke to the Rio today and they told me there were "well over 6,000" registered. Who knows if that is true, but even assuming it is, since they have room for at least 8,000 (and quite possibly more), I doubt it will sell out.

Just my opinion...

All I can tell you is that last year they said the same thing about it filling up and there were plenty of seats left. - That was just for 6,000 to - I think you will be fine - The more the merrier as I want that pot as big as possible
