What's up Dutch. I clearly see that the date is after the expiration date. I just never understood that policy since I'm trying to purchase the date prior to the expiration of the memebership. Was looking for a more informative answer than that but, ok.
Rude, See answer above lol.

I am by no means trying to argue with you, but it seems perfectly normal to charge you a non-member fee if you are not a member at that track day you are trying to purchase. Member benefits only apply when you are a member, including discounts on track days. Otherwise you could just purchase a membership every other year and sign up for all your track days at the beginning of the season, like many people do.

Meat-
Nah man, no argument. Thanks for the response. Not sure if my question seemed combative for a lack of a better term. Not my intention at all. Your answer is more along the lines of what I was looking for. I KNEW there was a reason, just couldn't rememeber what it was. Went to purchase date & when I saw the price, was like "but I'm a member.... Waaaaah" LOL. Thanks again Dutch & Meat.
Rasta...... F u. Lol (sidebar- should have brake controller & reg tomorrow or Wednesday)

Yea, Dutch and Meat nailed it.
In the past, if you are not a member at the time of event, the system would not let you register. Now, with the flexible pricing, the logic allows one to sign up after expired membership at non-member pricing.
When that happens you probably noticed a box " Save $XX on this event by purchasing an annual membership" when you added to cart. I guess some are looking at that as advertisement, but I think we need to do a better job of tagging it as an explanation to why the price is different than that one shown in "event registration."
Again, this only applies to events outside valid membership. We have seen tickets into our support system on this and I think its time for a tweak.

Just out of curiosity, I purchased a bunch of days at the beginning of the year (Jan 2010) and never thought about a couple of them being after my membership expiration. I don't plan on letting my membership expire, but wonder if I was charged or will be charged extra for them? Thanks in advance for any feedback or answers.

Wouldn't matter, the membership runs for 12 months from the time you sign up. Whether it runs Jan - Jan or March - March, it kinda all works out in the end. Unless you're planning on just being a member for a year to try it out, then you may want to get your membership close to your first day, but it still really doesn't matter.
It sure does matter for some people that don't plan on being a continuous member (i.e. Service Members, etc)
As an example. If I bought a membership in January of 2009, so that I could register for an event in May of 2009 (since I want to book an event that sells out fast). Then essentially in January of 2010 my membership would expire. Let's say in March of 2010 there is also an event that I want to do, but I'm deploying to Iraq in April. Well would I buy the membership? Granted, Nesba has a non-member fee structure now, but I argue that you should get a FULL year membership when you sign up for the membership. Event to Event. Not date of online signup.

Understand... Not saying it would be easy to come up with a registration system that accounts for it. And I'm just making the point for the sake of argument. I've been a Nesba Member year after year since 2007.
I'm on the fence about just going after the $500 (Nesba Member for life deal). I feel like that's like the kiss of death (like a madden curse).

Yeah, I see your point, and I'd said it wouldn't matter except if you were joining for only a year, whatever the reason (trying it out, service member, etc.). If you're going to stick around, it doesn't matter. We're on the same page! 
I hear ya about the lifetime membership thing, I've thought about it. Can't quite pull the trigger for various reasons! Ten years ago I might have!

I think you answered your own question. Either pay for a membership and sign up early to ensure you have a spot, or pay the non-member fee early to ensure you have a spot. It's better than it used to be, now you don't HAVE to get a membership. Do the math and figure out which one benefits you more.
