- As you can see, there are a number of reasons you may not have received your badge. Be assured we have tried to contact you either by phone or email. It's very important we have the correct contact information on you. Please keep us up to date.
We have had a number of members contact us and say "they never received their meet notice." This has been a concern for many years so to make sure everyone receives a registration form Eastern Division has a full page ad that contains the registration form in the TCA Headquarters Newsletter. If you don't receive your meet notice, please register online https://www.yorkregistration.org or use the form located in the Headquarters Newsletter. Questions: call the Eastern Division Call Center at 814-928-0196.
The Dealer Halls are open to the Public on Friday and Saturday. We open Friday at 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Register at the Ticket Booth just inside the Lobby of the Orange Hall (Largest Building). Cost for members of the public to attend is $10 per person (Friday or Saturday). Children under the age of 18 accompanied by a paying adult will be admitted free of charge. If you like what you see consider attending as a guest. To register as a guest, go to Memorial Hall where the Registration Desk is located and tell them you want to register as a guest. Registering as a guest allows you access to the remaining 4 buildings. With over 1900 tables of trains for sale, it's a sight for sore train eyes to see. Guest admission is $23.00 at the door. (Public admission fee will be applied to your guest admission).
Stop by the Pre-registration table located just inside the entrance to the Silver Hall,
register for the April 2022 show and take your badge home with you.
We welcomed over 150 guests who registered to attend the October 2019 meet. We want to remind you to bring as many guests as you want, as there is no limit to the number of “first time” guests you may bring. You’ll find the guest form on our website (Guest Form). Remember, a guest may attend one time and then they are expected to join the TCA to continue attending the York Train Meet and enjoy visiting not just the Dealer halls, but the Member halls, as well. Many guests continue to express their interest in TCA and have now become members. April York proved to be a another successful recruiting effort for the TCA.
Online Registration
Online registration is always an option and don’t forget you can call the Eastern Division Call Center at 1-814-928-0196 to pay by credit card.
We offered members the opportunity to pre-register for the upcoming meet and take their badges home with them. If you didn't take advantage of this convenience, please try it at the next show. A sign up table will be located across from the Registration Desk. Put that on your list of places to stop while wandering through the Silver Hall. The advantages for pre-registering:
- Convenience - do it at the meet and forget about it until you receive your badge in the mail.
- Cost - we pay the postage.
- Time saver - you save time as you no longer need to wait for the meet notice to arrive, then complete the form, put a self-addressed stamped envelope in with your registration form and make a trip to the post office.
- Accuracy of information - ensuring the information we have on file is correct and eliminating errors due to illegible penmanship.
Everyone should consider using this method to register for the next meet. If you pre-registered, you will still receive a meet notice for informational purposes only. No need to submit a registration form and if you're not sure if you pre-registered - Contact Us.
Be safe. We look forward to seeing you all again in at the next York Train Show.
