A reason to reigster:

Anyone considering coming, it would be sensible to register, per the exclusive-access rights for most of the time at Baranagroo:
Sydney foreshore 'pilgrims-only' for WYD [SMH]
[snip]
The NSW government's WYD spokeswoman Kristina Keneally said the Barangaroo site, near Darling Harbour, would become a "mini-city" for more than 140,000 young people at any one time.

It will play host to a mass and other events over four days of the six-day Catholic event.

"A large part of this area is bounded by water, so for safety reasons we do need to have fencing around that portion," Ms Keneally told reporters at the site.

"At times, Barangaroo will be a pilgrim-only venue, because of the need to give pilgrims, who have come to World Youth Day, primary access to things like the papal arrival and the stations of the cross."

Pilgrims registered for WYD would receive a "pilgrim pass" to wear around their necks, she said.

"It is their ticket, if you will, for pilgrim-only events," Ms Keneally said.

PS. I hate lanyards, too.
