When my badge for October arrived yesterday there was a card included with it saying that we can now register for the upcoming York event in April at this year's registration desk.
I like that idea!!
Sorry if this is old news here - I haven't seen it posted but I may have missed it.

From a business standpoint it cuts out the cost of the online marketing service and keeps dollars in TCA pockets and you are ready for next event before you leave.
That's the point. This "register for the April meet in October" is the Eastern Division's innovation, not the National TCA. National TCA has no multi yr registration option. The best the National TCA has been able to come up with is to raise annual dues to $50/yr. 
Being able to register for the next meet on site is a good idea, IMHO. But, I think that it would be even better if they would let you register for the next two meets at the Fall meet (i.e. both Spring and Fall York of 2014 - an annual pass of sorts). It would cut down on the processing involved even more.

I see that the Eastern Division email that I got over the weekend announcing that October registration is open included a blurb on this pre-registration option.

No money saved goes to TCA, it is not their meet.
Now if TCA let you renew your membership for multiple years that would.
As a wise man said, "Shoulda been done long ago."

Eastern Div is part of the TCA so this division of the TCA saves money from marketing costs. You are right the national component does not.
Sure it should have been: Say $50/1 yr membership; $75/$80 for 2 yrs ... but of course that would have taken some membership smarts, a finger on the times, or perhaps leadership like the crew that runs the E.D.
