More than 150 tickets?

Thought there was only supposed to be 150 places this year? I'm ticket 152 (two short of a lucky number of mine :/ )maybe they've increased the number or figured they could squeeze a couple more LotR tables in if they packed us tighter together and put a couple more seats on at the end.

I'm tempted to just play in Bugmans

IIRC there were 200 tickets last year, and then they added another 20.

Have they shrunk the tourney?

A certain number of tickets are normally 'reserved' for any event, usually for guys who are travelling a very long way or won the event the year before or voluteered to referee the year before etc. etc.

All the tickets will have been pre-packed some time before they actually go on sale and then when they are sold a random packet will be taken from the pile, labelled and despatched. As such the reserved tickets can have any ticket number on them and there is no telling who gets what number...
