Players traveled from far and wide to attend Europe’s longest-running and largest poker festival. In addition to the huge attendance from the Emerald Isle and UK, nearly 40% of players hailed from around the globe including Germany, Canada, United States, France Netherlands, and the list goes on.
Amongst the field of thousands, MainEventTravel.com patches could be seen, worn by both loyal fans of the brand and by those who booked with MainEventTravel.com and were vying for a #FinalTableFreeroll finish. One of the customers in the field was Irishman Drew Dwyer, who took to Facebook to get involved in the #FinalTableFreeroll after he booked his Tournament Travel with MET!
Drew (pictured above) said: " Main Event Travel made everything so convenient and was a positive experience with everything arranged, will definitely be using them for further bookings, nice to deal with pleasant efficient staff."
MET’s own Kelly Saxby (pictured below with Charlie Godwin and Katie Swift) was on hand to assist and chat to customers and squeeze in a game ortwo!
Kelly said: “I spoke to several players who booked with MET for multiple reasons. They think the rates are great, the customer service is second to none, they took advantage of the Luxon Pay offer, or they loved the #FinalTableFreeroll promotion. I also got the low down on customers' favourite hotels nearby and will be working to continue to deliver the best rates again next year at our customer's top choices."
