How to fix a messed up VSA Convention registration??

[Joe Swenson]

Hi All,

 

I thought someone on the list might be able to help me on this.  I registered for the VSA COnvention on the Website last night, paid $225 for the registration fee and Banquet ticket, and then went to the Competition Registration form where they want to charge me $55 for Convention registration aside from the Competition fee of $130.  

 

From that experience I gather I should have registered for the Competition first and that would have taken care of the reduced Conference fee.  Is this correct?

 

How do I fix this since I have overpaid and not completed the Competition registration process.  I submitted the Competition Registration form but stopped at the payment page.

 

I replied to the confirmation email I got from the VSA explaining the situation but so far no response. 

 

I know this is last minute but I only just found out I could attend (at least for part of the week - since I am also visiting a work customer in Indianapolis the same week) and although hesitant about submitting an instrument, decided to go for it. 

 

Anyone have the inside track here with the VSA or the Conference and can help me get this straightened out???

 

Thanks...

 

(My inexperience shows through once again! )

Thanks Joe!

So my assumption that I made a mistake is correct....

Thanks Jeff,

 

I will probably learn a big lesson in humility! 

 

I have no idea what I'm getting into.  I read the judging criteria and it all seemed reasonable.  I'm looking forward to the instrument critique session I want to sign up for.

 

Cheers,

Mindy wrote back today and we got everything straightened out!  So I'm all set and so I submitted my competition form!  Yes!  (I think...  )
