How does one get tickets to the World Series of Poker?

Question

My boyfriend and I would love to go to a WSOP event on our next vacation to Vegas. How would we go about getting tickets? Does anyone know how much they cost? Also has anyone here ever been to one and can you tell me about your experience. Thanks.

Answer 1

800-752-9746

That's the number for the Rio.  Call them and ask.

Answer 2

The WSOP starts on the 30th of May this year and is comprised of many, many different tournaments, culminating in the $10,000 Main Event which runs for the first two weeks of July. In the run up there will be aprox 50 events of many different types of poker with buyin's ranging from $1000-$50,000. To get a 'ticket' all you need is to show up the day of the event and pay your cash (give yourself about an hour to stand in line if you can't get your ticket the night before).

I have been and played in several events and they are alot of fun. Its like a giant poker convention. I would recommend you check out the ladies event, as its the smallest buyin ($1000), the weakest field (lets be honest here), tons of fun, and televised so you have a chance of getting on TV. You gotta check the schedule for dates though... Good Luck! http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourne...
