Step 4

Registering for a festival

Saving a workshop with the heart is just planning — a way to keep it on your list. Registering is the real sign-up. For most festivals you register once for the whole edition — a single pass that reserves your place at the event. This page walks you through it, calmly, one click at a time.

What you're signing up for

Nearly always, one registration covers the whole edition — that one run of the festival (see chapter 2 for what a series and an edition mean). You sign up once, get one ticket, and you're in for the event. You don't need to register for each workshop separately.

Saving vs. registering — what's the difference?

They sound similar, so here is the plain version:

• Saving (the little heart button) just adds a workshop to your own list so you don't forget it. It does not hold a spot or sign you up for anything.
• Registering is you actually signing up for the festival. It reserves your place, asks the organiser's questions, and leads to payment. This is the one that counts.

So you can heart as many workshops as you like to plan your time — but to actually attend, you need to register for the edition. Don't worry, nothing is charged during this step, and you can always go back.

Starting to register

On the edition's page, find the Register button for the event and tap it to begin. (If this festival signs you up per workshop instead, open the timetable and tap the workshop you want — everything from here on is identical.)

If you are signed out, a small sign-in box opens first — that's normal. Sign in with your email (see chapter 1, Signing in if you need a hand), and Yuimaru brings you right back to where you were.

Filling in the registration form

When there's room, a pop-up window opens, titled with the name of the event (or the workshop, if you're signing up per workshop). This is the registration form. The organiser decides what to ask, so the questions differ from one festival to the next. You might see:

• A multiple choice — pick one option from a list.
• A tick-all-that-apply — choose as many as you like.
• A quantity — how many of something you want.
• A plain number, a short answer you type, or a date you choose.

Here's how to work through it:

1. Read each question and answer it

   Work down the form from top to bottom. Take your time — there's no rush and nothing submits until you say so.

2. Watch the running "Total" at the bottom

   As you make choices, a Total price updates live at the bottom of the window, so you can always see what it will cost before you commit.

   The live total at the foot of the form Total  €35.00
3. Tick the consent box

   Near the end there's one required tick-box. We explain it just below — you'll need to tick it to carry on.

4. Continue to the review

   When everything's filled in, the Continue to review → button takes you to the payment review. Still no charge at this point.

The consent tick-box

Before you can continue, you must tick one box that reads: "I have read and agree to how my information will be used." In plain words, this just means you're okay with the organiser and Yuimaru handling the details of your sign-up — your answers, your name, and so on. The words "how my information will be used" are a link you can click and read first if you'd like.

You don't have to open the form to read it, either: the same document is linked at the bottom of every page of the event as How this event uses your data, and the copy you accept here is kept on your registration afterwards — see Privacy & your data.

There may also be a second, optional box — "I'd like to receive news and marketing emails from the event organiser." Leave it unticked if you'd rather not hear from them; it doesn't affect your registration either way.

Finishing this step

Once the box is ticked, press Continue to review →. That carries you to the payment review, which is the next chapter. To be completely clear: nothing has been charged yet. You'll get to check everything over before any money changes hands.
