You can pre-register http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/registration/

i wanted to wire my entry fee but says send your application form and wire transfer confirmation, and the bank wont give me confirmation,said they send the money but dont give confirmation. plus i cant get a total rewards card till i get there.
stressing me out i just wanna play poker

Bank doesn't wanna give confirmation?...why on earth not?

There was alot of problems last year with wire tfrs going "missing"

Just take the cash over with you (The Sterling) and exchange with british players while there.

i rang the bank(halifax) they said they would wire the money, but for security reasons they dont fax or email confirmation. i dint really wanna take $8-10k over in my pocket and not sure if i arrive on 11th if event on 15th will be sold out:(
thanks

when you take the cash over with you(sterling), you mean litterally dont change any money till you get there?
thanks

If you arrive 4 days before an event I would imagine you'll have no problem registering. I know they are capping entries this year but you should be fine to register a couple of days before the event.

Suggest you go to a bank and buy dollar travellers cheques and change them up when you get there.  That's what I do - just need a pocket with a strong zip!!

I'm going out on the 10th for 10 days will play a couple of the smaller events but looks good value at Caesars for their deep stack festival and the Venetian deepstack must be quite soft as apparently Compo won one last year!!  ;first;

All the best for your trip.   

I always just take dollars. As long as you don't take over $10,000 it's easy at the other end.
You could easily just turn up the day before the event and get in imo
