Are you positive on this? I called them last year to ask about the '04 show and was told that it was not open to the public. Have things changed?

I'd love to go as well, but no pass...yet.

The show is NOT open to the public, but based on the size of the attendance it seems that numerous people get credentials through friends and associates. It is supposed to be for the "trade" only.

just check into the SEMA membership thing.. it appears to be $150.00

not bad.. what if we sign up under mbworld or something? there is a option on the SEMA form for "car club" and the cost is only $150.00

The ticket for sema is cheap..i think maybe $30, getting the ticket is a little tricky though as they aren't sold to the general public.

they don't sell tickets for SEMA.
it's not a public event. You have to get someone to get you a pass, from an automotive industry (aftermarket / tuner / dealer / shop). There's a $15 fee,
but that's the easy part. I was lucky to get a pass from a friend who works at the Off-Road Warehouse. Nothing to do with Benz, but at least it gets me in the door.

If you've got hook-ups with anybody in the auto industry, now is the time to get signed up.

price is all dependant:
- air fare
- hotel room
- food & drinks

if you crash with me (it's only $35 a night), if you get your own room be prepared for $120-$185 a night.
