WSOP online qualifier seat count

[Arsene Lupin III]

This is everything I could find so far. If anyone knows the partypoker numbers or any of the other missing numbers, they'd help:
Current total is <font color="red">1005 seats</font> already awarded or guaranteed in cash tourneys or freerolls

Stars, 523: 100 fpp seats, 423 cash qualifiers
Partypoker, ??: No info
Paradise, ~130: 92 seats (wow!) awarded plus ~2/3 of 50 freeroll seats yet to be awarded.
interpoker, 145: 145 guaranteed [Main page popup, yes, i am aware that all of crypto is guaranteeing these 145 so do not include another of these sites]
FTP, 55: 5 seats awarded, 30 guaranteed from $500+35, 12 freeroll guaranteed, 8 from weeklies until wsop (1 weekly guaranteed for 8 weeks) (website)
Ultimatebet, 54: 54 seats awarded [UB's software, 4/28]
Empire, 50+: 50 freeroll seats, ?# satellite winners. [main page]
Bodog, 31+: 31 seats guaranteed in may [Website]
Truepoker, 7: 2 listed qualifiers, 5 freeroll seats
Absolutepoker, 3: 3 freerolls
b2b net (martinspoker, etc), 5: 5 guaranteed (hazy guarantee on their wsop page)
Intertops: 1 guaranteed (May 1 tourney)
IPN network: 1 hazy guarantee (betandwin)
Prima network: No info
Pacific: No info
Partypoker: No info
Pokerroom: No info
Ladbrokes: No info


---History---
2004: PS-316, PP-"over 250"
2003: PS-37

-----------

Adding in the Party (~250?) and other unknown (~100-200) seats already awarded, I'd guess that there are about 1350 seats locked.

I'd put the o/u for online qualifiers at roughly 2400 based on this knowledge.

Why don't you send an email to party poker and ask them for the details?

I am sure Ajhsklpreoireiore would be happy to respond.

a few fun facts:

Last april, matt savage estimated 1400 players 4 weeks before the event on rgp. 90 had paid. 12 had paid at the same time in 2003.

In february 2004, he posted to rgp "looking to hire about 200+ dealers for the 35th annual WSOP. Only skilled
dealers need to apply."

I saw some random quote that said 900 qualified online last year in all, but I'm pretty sure I've seen a more reliable source in the past with a larger number.

A quote from the LV reviewjournal, June 3: "Harrah's executives are quick to point out that they expect participation and spectator interest to at least triple again next year."

Arsene,
Great work to tally those up. I don't know what Party's # is but it has to be close to Pokerstars. If that's the case, that puts us over 1,500 with over 2 months left to go.

For some reason, I found this page amusing considering Diablo does those threads for all active WSOP sats.

I also made the diablo penguin into a grilled cheese sandwich:
