I have gone both ways when it comes to registration. One year I filled up my ticket with Planescape events, and a few other sundry things. I had fun, to be sure, but I've also had fun not signing up for anything at all.
For me, the things I sign up for nowadays are seminars and conferences. There are usually some pretty good ones scheduled. I get to see a lot of my friends from Mystic Eye Games when I go, so we tend to schedule pick-up games, or some of us will come prepared to run stuff for the others, so those were the games I played last year.
I have found that the events that one signs up for are really hit or miss. I've had just as much luck with pick-up games, though the pick-up games area were sorely disappointing last year; hopefully that will be fixed.
