Hey Don,

 My dad is a new member of the TCA, and we are planning on going to the York meet; however what do you mean by advanced registration? Is this the price members pay at the door on the day of the event? Any help would be greatly appreciated so we know as to what needs to happen prior. As this will be our first time at York. Thanks again!

You pay in advance, they mail your badges, so there is no waiting in line to buy a badge at the door.

To add to what Bob said, you also save $8 a ticket (or you used to last year...) I didn't know I was going two years ago until the day before when I started driving in that direction. The $8 price difference wasn't nearly as upsetting as standing in that line waiting to get a badge. The people running the process were great. There's just a lot of people trying to get in, so the process is slow.

In order to attend one must be a member of the TCA or the guest of a member.
Members were mailed an information packet several weeks ago.
If you wish to join and attend, you can go to the TCA web site and join.

As Don noted, members can download the info you need on the York show from the Eastern Division website (it is in the column on the left side of the page).
