The £500 Main Event

The absolute highlight of the festival is the PartyPoker Tour Manchester Main Event, which kicks off its starting flights on June 18 and crowns a champion on June 21. 

Commanding a highly accessible £500 buy-in (£445 + £55 registration), the Main Event boasts a hefty £100,000 guaranteed prize pool

Recognizing the demands of modern tournament players, the organizers have scheduled multiple Day 1 flights, including standard 40-minute level days, a Turbo flight, and a last-chance Hyper Turbo. Players sit down with a generous 50,000 starting stack, allowing for deep, highly strategic play well into the later stages of the tournament. 

The tournament is fully live-streamed, giving participants the true, televised PartyPoker LIVE experience.

How to Buy In

Securing your seat for any event during the PartyPoker Tour Manchester is straightforward and accessible.

Players can buy into the tournaments directly at the registration desk inside Manchester235 Casino. The venue accepts cash and major debit cards. Because the casino is located right in the heart of the city at the Great Northern Warehouse complex, it is incredibly easy for traveling players to stop by, handle their buy-ins, and enjoy the surrounding amenities before the cards are in the air. 

How to Qualify Online

If you want to play for the massive £100,000 Main Event guarantee without risking the full £500 buy-in, partypoker has you covered with a comprehensive digital satellite tree.

Players can qualify online via the PartyPoker client, where daily step satellites are currently running. These phased qualifiers start from as little as £0.20, making it possible for absolutely anyone to spin up a tiny investment into a full Main Event ticket. 

In addition to the digital pathways, Manchester235 will also host live "Target Stack" satellites at the venue throughout the early days of the festival, starting at just £50, providing plenty of live opportunities to win your way in.
