To ensure successful registration with the Jūrmalnieka card and the 100% discount, please adhere to the following conditions:

Enter your first and last name exactly as indicated on the Jūrmalnieks card – including uppercase/lowercase letters and diacritical marks (for example, if the card says “Jānis Bērziņš”, then the registration form must also be filled in as “Jānis Bērziņš”, not “janis berzins” or in another format).
The card data and the data of the registered person must match completely – any discrepancies may prevent the system from confirming the discount.

Question: What to do if the system repeatedly shows an error even though the data is entered correctly?

If you have tried to register multiple times but the system still does not accept the data (possibly because the browser “remembers” previously entered incorrect data):

Clear your internet browser's cache.
Close and reopen the browser.
Try to register again, carefully entering the data exactly as indicated on the card.

Discounts for registration are only applicable to partners or supporters of this event!
