There are a number of ways to get on the tour. You can take part in the Pro-Ticket tour being run by the EASB. There's the PIOS Tour (Pontins). And I believe English Amateur is another way.Cheers

hi, doesn't the english amateur count towards the pro-ticket tour on a points system?Comment

Yes the English Amateur only provides ranking points to the Pro-Ticket Tour (which has a pro place for the number one in rankings and another for the winner of the play-off between the next 16 players in the rankings).
The World Amateur Champion (IBSF); European Amateur Champion; European Play-Offs Winner; Asian Under 21 Champion; Asian Amateur Champion; Welsh, Irish and Northern Irish Number Ones (no longer Scottish Number One); various wildcard/national nominations. These all qualify for spots on the Main Tour.
I get the feeling the goalposts for qualification may change over the next year or two after Barry Hearn's election as Chairman of WPBSA.
