They finally updated how many spots are avaible for the Pathfinder Society Slots at Gen Con UK, I am not sure if it is accurate, but it is more accurate then it was last week. there was 48 tickets to start with, 8 GM Tickets.
Murder on the Silken Caravan
Friday 9am - 24 left
Sunday 9am - Sold out
The Frozen Fingers of Midnight
Friday 2pm - 36 left
Sunday 2pm - Sold out
The Hydra's Fang Incident
Thursday 2pm - Sold out
Saturday 2pm - 18 left
The Silent Tide
Thursday 9am - 18 left
Saturday 9am - 24 left
For GMs they are stating they need 8 per slot, which is not accurate since that is what they started with and I know many people volunteered
Like I said not sure how accurate that is because they are terrible at updating their page, but this is the first update I have seen.

The consupport site only lists the total number of volunteers, rather than the number still needed, unless you go to the Sign-up By Slot screen and look at the drop-down lists. Those have up-to-date numbers. Similarly for available tickets vs total tickets. So your numbers are not correct (because that's not how consupport.com works). I can't see the correct figures, though as I've been confirmed to GM in various slots and can no-longer use the drop-down boxes in those slots. I know that there are actually only three tickets for The Silent Tide at 9am on Saturday at the moment.
Kithran has been through the list and removed tables where not enough GMs signed up. The numbers went down from the initial 48 because whole tables were removed, rather than because tickets had been sold. There's physical room for more tables, but there's no point in GenCon allowing players to sign up when GMs haven't volunteered. If more people offer to GM, I'm sure more tables will open up - if you want to GM but the option isn't listed on the site, it's still probably worth contacting Kithran as he might be able to add more tables.

well then those numbers could mean anything..either there are not enough GMs or not enough space for players..
I know Kith has stated there are enough GMs for the amount of players signed up..hope that is still true...

What Kithran did was to reduce the number of player spaces to match the number of confirmed GMs. As pre-registration apparently ends tomorrow, this is sensible as he won't want convention HQ selling tickets when there aren't GMs ready to turn up to run the games. That is why the player numbers dropped - because the player numbers show the total number of players who are able to play - in other words in most slots there are three or four tables of PFS happening, rather than the eight tables which was the original plan, because there haven't been eight GMs signing up for each slot.
According to this thread on consupport.com http://www.consupport.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1112 (14 August 16:37 post) "there are enough dms for any Pathfinder slot that has tickets available and anyone who has already booked a ticket will get a game (with the obvious provisio that if a dm doesn't turn up I've got a problem)." Should more people volunteer to GM, I'd be surprised if Kithran doesn't do his best to find space and provide more tickets, but for now, essentially, there are very very few spaces available to play PFS at GenCon UK.

Well, I volunteered for GMing at some point, but since my status shows as player, I suppose I won't have to.
If somebody could confirm that to me, I'd appreciate, as I won't prepare the adventures before the con.
Prepare to meet my charming friend, Cosimo Angelo. I am sure you will like him.
