Palladium VIP members aren’t the only players at Party Poker eligible for free tickets to this year’s Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. (See our earlier post on Oktoberfest VIP for information on that promotion.) You can also win free tickets to the festivities if you live in Austria, Germany or Switzerland. Party Poker is offering six prize packages to the 2011 Oktoberfest celebrations, set aside soley for players residing in that area.
Between August 15 and September 18, Austrian, German and Swiss players at Party Poker can enter two different points races and one freeroll tournament to take their best shot at one of these Oktoberfest 2011 prize packages, which include a two-night stay at a five-star hotel, activities of your choice during the daytime, private areas for dinner and/or drinks in reserved areas at an exclusive night club and the Oktoberfest tent, invite to a private poker tourney, complete transportation during your stay and more.
Race 1 is from August 15 to 26 and race 2 is from September 3 to 14. Opt-in to the race you wish to enter and then start collecting as many PartyPoints as you can in the time allowed. The progress of the most successful contestants will be monitored on a leaderboard posted on the site. The two best performers in each race will win Oktoberfest prize packages while the remainder of the top ten will win cash. The player who earns the most PartyPoints over the course of both races will also win a 2011 Oktoberfest prize package.
To enter the 2011 Oktoberfest PartyPoker freeroll, either be a new player making a first deposit into your real money account between August 15 and September 15 or, if you’re already a player at PartyPoker, collect 25 PartyPoints in that same time frame.
