[MR] A suggestion - was: Re: The importance of pre-reg

[Irmgart]

My thought on an event with an attendance cap (I presume that's what you
mean?), would be to strongly encourage people to pre-reg, and make it very
clear in the flyer, etc that not being pre-reged may mean that you will be
turned away, whether or not you emailed that you were coming, after all, the
only registration is a paid registration.

That or only allowing people to pre-reg. I think I've seen something to that
effect before.
