" This is my first time attending, how do I register? Please enter a valid e-mail address to begin the registration process. As a first time attendee, you will need to be qualified before your registration is approved. You will be asked a series of questions that will be used to qualify and approve your registration during the process. Please note the SEMA Show and AAPEX are for the trade only therefore consumers and the general public are not permitted to attend."} I think you might be out of luck. I got to go once but I had a pass from someone in the industry. | ||

I went on their site & put one of my email addresses in the box, which took me to the registration page. I lifted this from their registration page. Admission to the SEMA Show and AAPEX are for the automotive trade only. Registrants may be asked to provide proof of their affiliation in the automotive industry. All registrations are subject to review and approval by Show Management. Principal business category will be determined by Show Management utilizing your company website. Once approved, confirmation will be sent to the registrants via e-mail regarding the status of their badges. To register on-site, each registrant must present two proofs of employment in the automotive industry. The following forms of business identification will be acceptable. All must indicate current employment at an automotive–related company: • Tax registration certificate or business registration • Business license • Two recent paycheck stubs to verify employment • Business card (company name and address must correspond with the information on the registration form). Must include job title • Business photo I.D. (must include company name, photo and name) So as long as you can provide some sort of Motor Trade justification & you dress the part, I'd guess you could do it. $25 seems pretty reasonable too. | ||

Mr Grumps has nailed it. This is not a "public" show. It's an industry only show. I'm a SEMA member and had to jump through hoops just to get my dad and mom in. I was only able to do that because they were my parents. I've tried to get tickets for friends, but they screen the application pretty well. I've heard of SEMA calling random businesses asking for the names of the registrants. If they aren't there, they get crossed off the list. While attendance numbers were down last year, the place was still pretty full of "industry" people. SEMA is THE biggest trade show in the USA, surpassing the former champ CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in 2009. I can't imagine how they'd get all the people thru there if it was open to the public. Each registrant gets a name tag that has a bar code with all pertinent business info on it, such as contact info, the size of the business, how many employees etc, photo ID's, etc. So it's not as simple as just "buying a ticket" at the door. Things were a little more lenient last year, but I preregistered and they mailed my credentials to me before the show, so I didn't need to jump through all the hoops at the show registration desk, I just "walked in" with my lanyard/name tag around my neck. For kicks and giggles, you could TRY to register as a faux business. But be prepared to make all kinds of "stuff" up, i.e. business cards, letterheads, tax license etc. As a gear head, it is definitely information overload, and I've been there a number of times. I never seem to make it to the AAPEX part of the show in another part of town. It's more geared to OEM replacement style parts than custom aftermarket parts. | ||
