Registration Ticketing Guidelines
Which type of entry ticket do I buy?
If eligible for the Greenwich Village Games, all participants must register in order to compete and pay the relevant registration fee dependent on age and student status. There are also discounted registration rates for family groups. Sometimes it’s a bit tricky to work out if a family discount ticket applies or not.
Family tickets only apply where 1-2 two adults live with 1 or more related children or full-time students under 25. Adult children (19+) who are not in full-time study, should register with a separate Adult ticket, instead of part of the family discount ticket. Same with girlfriends and boyfriends.
The information and examples below should help.
Note: For each online registration transaction, participants can only select one team to compete under. If family members wish to join more than one team, they must complete separate online registration transactions for each team.
Children aged less than 6 who only participate in the Micro Games are not required to pay, but must be registered.
| Ticket Type | Definition |
| Adult | Person aged between 19 and 59 (unless a full-time student under 25). |
| Student | Full-time student aged between 19 and 24. |
| Senior | Person aged 60 and over. |
| Child | School student aged between 6 and 18. Children who are aged 5 can choose whether to compete in the Micro Games or the main GVG events. If the latter, they are required to register and pay. |
| Micro Games | These are fun and non-competitive races and events for children 2 – 6 years, held during the GVG weekend, though do not contribute to overall team scores. Entry to the Micro Games is free, but children must still be registered. |
| Family | A family ticket applies to one or two adults living with one or more related children or full-time students under 25. Adult children (19+) who are not in full-time study pay as individual adults. Girlfriends and boyfriends of family members are eligible to participate in the Games regardless of where they live, but must register and pay as individuals (children, adults or students). If family members wish to join more than one team, they need to complete a separate registration transaction for each team. |
