Is there a deposit for the lottery? When do I need to pay?
There’s no cost to enter the lottery. If you are admitted, we’ll ask you to pay within a week to hold your spot. (As the event nears, we may give waitlisted attendees a shorter time frame.) As always, you can contact registration@youthtradsong.org if you need to arrange an alternate payment plan. But if we haven’t received payment or heard from you by the deadline, we’ll give away your space and move you to the end of the waitlist.

Can I register with my significant other, friend, family, carpool buddies, etc?
Yes. During the lottery period, you may register in a party of up to 4 people. Each person needs to complete their own registration. Please make sure the names of everyone in your party are listed on each person’s registration. If you register in a party with others, you’ll either all be admitted together, or all be waitlisted together. Your chances of getting in are the same, and we would love to have you at the weekend just the same, whether you register by yourself or with a party.

What if I want to register with people in a different age bracket?
If a party contains both Youth (under age 50) and Young-at-Heart (age 50+) attendees, that party enters the Young-at-Heart lottery (but the Youth members of the party still occupy Youth slots in our ratio). Because we expect the Young-at-Heart lottery to be more competitive than the Youth lottery, if the Youth would want to attend even without the Young-at-Heart person, you may wish to enter the lottery separately.

What if I am a chaperone for someone under 18?
If you’re chaperoning a minor, please register in a party with them. Each of you needs to fill out a registration form. You'll need to list the names of each member of your party on each person's registration. Parents/guardians who are not attending the weekend may designate another adult as chaperone for their child.

What if I don't have a credit card and need to send a check?
What's the deal with t-shirts?
We offer boxy-cut and curvy-cut t-shirts for advance purchase only. When you register online, you’ll see an option to add a t-shirt to your order. Shirts cost $18 and the proceeds go towards scholarships and travel grants. The shirts are 100% cotton American Apparel and sizes run very small, especially in curvy cut, so you may want to consider sizing up. Boxy cut (sometimes called “unisex”) shirts are available in youth and adult sizes; curvy cut (sometimes called “girly” or “ladies”) shirts are available in adult sizes. See the 2017 design on the registration page.
