I live IN Las Vegas....about 8 miles from the convention center where the SEMA show will be held. Is there ANY way that anyone can get me in? I want to see what they have, but I can't register unless I am in the aftermarket parts industry or the media. I am Air Force and can claim to be researching for the US Gov't.....but I don't think that will fly. Any ideas???

 

Just tell them "We're on a mission from God".

 

Sidebar: What is the oldest profession according to Reagan??? (sorry for interrupting your post )

 

Or, you could dress in an industry character costume, and hang outside one of the loading doors and wait for someone to let you in. Thats what they do at the video game conventions. Although I don't think a mario costume would work... Nor can I think of any automobile mascots... Maybe micheline man?

 

Man, I didn't realize that the SEMA show was so "exclusive"

 

Call around to various media outlets they always need someone to carry gear for free then you get your pass

 

I am going but I run autothing.com -- I'll bet if you signed up for tickets ($10 each for full 4-day run) and used ANY auto Web site (not mine, lol) or made-up company they'll STILL let you right on in. I've found this the case with all auto shows too. 1000's of tickets are sold and they just don't have time to check each.

 

Hey you are part of a website though, BRADS SITE. Say you are one of the researchers for this site!! hey your not lying either. Could work man

 

Hey wantan05....Reagan was referring to prostitution as the oldest profession and he was saying politics is very much like prostitution and I have to agree with him.

 

They're strict this year; my application was denied at first for "lack of supporting documentation."

 

my uncle is in insurance up there in vegas...call your agent and see if there is any tickets at the office...that is how i used to get in...sometimes they will go the first day and then not the next...give it a try

 

Thanks for clearing that up legendlimetime, and I also think that statement is very true.

 

Prostitution

And thx to everyone for the suggestions. If I find a way in....I will be sure to let you know how it goes and what kind of cool crap they have. (Not that you won't hear about it everywhere else anyway.)

 

Love your site. I plan on purchasing your rocker panel stripes next year. Any new designs on the horizon?

 

Application for what? To become a SEMA member or just trying to get passes to the trade show? Car clubs are eligible for supporting memberships which will allow you to get into the shows. All you gotta do is pay your membership dues.

 

Wolfie351 you mean like AAA? I live in the Bay Area as well, and I am trying to get my plans set as I have an invention I will be trying to show, that is automotive aftercare related, doesn' SEMA just need a business license showing you are in that particular industry?

 

Are you a Rush fan, n3cr0mncr?

Just curious...

I just can't wait to see PICTURES from SEMA, let alone go to the show. :yes:

 

I may go to the show to help out friend who works with Saleen at the show
