Too hard to sign up for WSOP events?

[BoKnowsPoker]

This is my first post here, thought I would come to ask about signups for the WSOP events. I am looking to play Event 44, Limit Omaha 8. I tried the pre registration, that did not work right. I called the number they sent me for help, just get a machine and no calls back. I read horror stories about people waiting in line 7 hours to register for these events too.

I get down there on June 26, the event is June 27th. Do I need to try to sign up on the 26th or show up at 2AM on the 27th to actually make it in time for the event? Someone please tell me they were able to sign up for one of these events without having to spend an entire day doing it.

Thanks.
