Dude, please, type legibly. Use proper spelling, use proper spacing, use proper capitalization, it makes life easier for EVERYONE that has to try and decipher your scrawling… And I’m not sure how many people will be willing, or able to make a 3000km road trip to Vegas.

$10-$20? Umm yeah maybe per day bro.

The ticket is closer to $100USD. I’m not positive since I get media passes but as always, the best show in most of the aftermarket world behind TAS but in front of Essen.

SEMA is so boring, its a trade show, so unless you are a shop trying to buy or sell new product, there really isn’t much to really see. just wait for IAS which should be on the east coast again, you’ll still have the big vendor booths and you’ll have more models to gaga over.

and last time I went to SEMA, it was $12, for trade related people only, so you’ll have to either be; Media, A retail shop or a manufactuer/distributor.

You’re kidding right? SEMA is so huge that as media its impossible to cover in 4 days a media rep. Plus all of the real players are there to field questions and make deals. All these other consumer shows are fluff, lots of models and contests and $8/hr booth workers who know nothing about the company they are representing.

Then there is afterhours…

SEMA IAS is cancelled BTW.

Basically, I have been going for the past 8 years to SEMA.

If you really want in your just need a business card.

Its pretty boring, there are alot of rims and some intresting cars, but that is about it.

There are no “Deals” there either, if you are caught selling, or buying during or after show hours you are kicked out of SEMA and are not allowed to display again, or visit again.
