Are there registration fees when buying in the wsop? (not the buy in)?

I'm planning on playing in a couple of the early wsop tournaments in June and was wondering if there was a registration fee. (10%?, 15%? of the buy in) Also, does anyone have any tips to a first time player there?

Davidov 		Yes. You think they are running these tourneys for free?

I don't know what the % is, but if you buy into a $1500 tourney, not all $1500 is going to the prize pool.

montie 		The amount of money listed is the amount you pay for each event, but as another poster said, not all of the buy-in goes to the prize pool.

For example, if the buy in is $10,000, then the break down is something like $9700 to the prize pool and $300 entry fee.

They state what the breakdown is for all of them
