As Franz is on vacation this week, I’m filling in by publishing some stats.
Here are the latest Unicon XIII registration count by country. I expect the number to get a lot bigger by the end of Feb as that is when the registration price will increase.
5 Austria
1 Canada (Ryan Atkins is the only one so far)
35 Denmark
6 France
125 Germany
1 Grenada
1 Guatemala
54 Japan
4 Netherlands
4 Puerto Rico
37 Switzerland
7 United Kingdom
45 USA (42 of which are from Minnesota)
325 Total
Thanks,
Once you have filled in the form and it says your registered that means your registered yeh because it says something about printing the form off
In an attempt to finish Lucas’ thought, yes you can register online, but you still have to pay, and turn in a signed copy of your release when you arrive at Unicon.
The steps:
Register online
Pay via wire transfer or other listed methods (within 30 days I think)
Print out form and sign it
Bring the form with you and hand in when you pick up your registration packet.
NOTE:
Some people may have registered but may not make it to Unicon. Don’t worry, many more simply haven’t registered yet (including lots more than 3 Americans from outside Minnesota!).
For us Americans (and whoever else this applies to), sending money via a wire transfer can have a hefty fee. Mine cost $42. If possible, join up with other riders from your area or country and combine your money. This probably makes life easier for the Unicon people at the other end as well.
They really ought to set up a paypal account. Paypal will handle currency conversion as well with the best possible rates. It would end up costing the reciever 4%, so they could set up a paypal price that is 4% higher to cover the paypal fee, but it would probably still be cheaper than doing a wire transfer for those registering individually.
Sadly I just can’t afford to go this year. Stupid student loan repayment taking all my extraneous funds.
