Last year I prepurchased my ticket online a month or two in advance.

When I got there people told me they were selling event tickets for 50% or so cheaper than what I paid for them online.

I doubt the event tickets sell out. Yes the classes sell out, but next time I go I will be buying my tickets at the day of the event.

I'm just basing my experience from the 2013 overland expo.
 
I had a whole number of specific classes I wanted to be in (and it was hard trying to fit them in the schedule already as is), so for me the early registration was important. If you have no requirement on classes, then the "buy-at-the-gate" option sounds like a good way to save a few bucks.

What I want to know is who is teaching these photography and videography classes….b/c that sounds like something that I might NEED to be there to help teach. :sad:
 
If it's anything like in the past anybody can show up to any class without paying or anybody checking.
 
Yep, i'll be there! I pre-registered a couple months ago, but haven't gotten my e-mail for class signups yet...

I would check in with the Hanson's on that... I got mine earlier this week. Maybe they are timing it according to when you registered (I pre-registered on day 1 as well). Are you driving over?

Thanks, yeah I'll have to check on that.

I'll be driving in from the west coast. Depending on the class schedule, I haven't decided if i'll arrive Thursday night or Friday. Planning on riding in Sedona Sunday after the event and maybe making my way up to Zion before heading back to the coast. There is also supposed to be a good trail (for bikes) in Grafton UT which is close to Zion; it is possible there are some good roads out there too, but I need to look into that.
 
Welp, got registered. Got wait-listed on a couple things, but there seems to be no shortage of things to check out.

Kewl... We're going to be at Grand Canyon village on late Wednesday /Thursday. The wife and I are camping there. Driving into flagstaff late on Thursday.
[MENTION=77604]SEP[/MENTION], got any idea yet if you are going to make it?

Btw, has anyone been to rock tent national monument, outside of Santa fe, NM?

Are you considering bringing the trailer and camping, or staying in town? I'd love to show the mrs what I 'd like to do in terms of trailer/RTT and you're the best example I know off.

Okki

I would definitely bring the trailer!
 
Hey Okki,

I'll have my CVT roof top tent on the 4Runner as well if you are considering that as an option. I should also have my rear cargo drawer setup by then which means I'll be a little more organized.

But yeah, i'd like to see the trailer setup as well. One can only dream...
