I can't seem to find the details on the public attendance. I have seen some mentioning on a few posts but the Eastern Division York Train Show site has no mention of it.
Thanks,
Chris

Marty, I don't see anything about public on that notice you put up there. ????????????
Eddie, it's in the box to the lower right. It says "NEW: Dealer Halls Open to Public"
Does anyone know if the price will be $25? I was a TCA member in the past. I didn't think I'd be able to attend this meet so I didn't renew this year. I just found out I can make it. I missed the early registration. Trying to decide if it's worth $80 (membership + entrance for family) to walk around the non-member halls. I liked looking at the layouts in those halls but I'm not sure it's worth the $50. That's an extra $50 I can spend on toys!

But remember they are locking you out of the two dealer halls on Thursday. We will start going back to York when the ED adds that day. If not, no big deal, we just stay home
Non members can only get into 2 halls. I would not go unless I lived nearby. So for me it's all or nothing.

After posting I found it is only $15 for non-members. I would say 80 percent of my past purchases were in the orange or purple halls. If I only go once a year I am looking at an extra $60 to enter the member halls. I spend a lot at TCA so that extra 20 percent may be a decent item for a seller. I am still undecided if it's worth $60. I've never used my membership outside of the train show.
It say's $14. for a family, so I can bring along my 6 sisters & 6 brothers.

Well, if you can put $5 into an envelope once a month that will cover the extra $60. That less than 2 cups of coffee a month at a place like DD.

True! When I say I spend a lot that's in regards to my train budget. That's probably one train for some people. Lol. I save up all year. Adding another $5 a month is feasible.
