MACNA tickets on sale until May 31st

I'm only going to be able to make it to MACNA for one afternoon. Can i pay at the door? And will it cost more to do so?

 

yeah i would like to know this too i have to work two of the 3 days

 

Hey Craig, I can buy my 3 day event tickets at club price anytime between now and the event right? I was going to buy mine this month but I had 2k in dental bills, it's been a miserable last couple of weeks you guys!

 

You to? man I have had to go to the dentest enough lately to last me a life time!

 

Just an FYI for club members. Even if you only play to attend one day and want to go to the reception or banquet as well, it's still a better deal to just buy a full pass at the club member price.
The various prices are posted on the registration page: http://www.macna2011.com/Register.aspx

Just curious I guess, what is the club member price? It is a four hour drive, but may be interested in going if club membership gives a fair discount. Times are tough ya know!!

 

So its $50 just to walk around the trade show? I could see $10 to $20 but not $50 just to walk around.....  Have we sold a lot of tickets?  We would prob get more of a turn out if the price to just go in was cheaper IMO

 

Just throwing this out there that Im not saying this to start something......   Also I have been to several trade shows and this is basically what this is and not one of them were over $25...... Just saying

 

Dude.....seriously? You quote yourself? 50 dollars doesn't just buy you the ability to walk around the show, but also buys the opprotunity to get in on some serious raffle prizes, and the privilege to listen to and converse with internationally recognized speakers who are leaders in the field of marine research, and have decades of experience in the hobby. I guess the value depends on what your level of commitment and seriousness is in the hobby and exploration of ocean science.

 

yes guy I did.... I thought the $50 was only for the trade show and it was extra for the speakers didnt know it was the whole thing and I am very serious about the hobby but I can watch them speak on the internet for FREE (it called youtube and other sites) and I can order online for $30 shipping in a wysiwyg area....

 

Yes, some trade shows are cheaper, some are more expensive (a lot more expensive). By MACNA standards, our prices are very reasonable.

Lowering the price so that everyone and there dog will come for a day doesn't necessarily help us. The prices are driven by the basic economics of this show in particular (the costs/commitments that we as the organizers have to cover). The bottom line is that at this point in the game they are not up for debate.

And yes, you may be able to find some speakers on the interest for free, but that's not going to help you have a face to face conversation with them. One thing that makes MACNA awesome is the way the speakers interact with the attendees through out the entire show.

 

Seems like a bargain to me. I just think of how much money people who will be coming from all over the country will be spending just to get here and to stay and eat in Des Moines. The price of admission is the least of those people's considerations. Heck, it will cost me that much to drive to Des Moines and back.

 

Well if I can get a 3 day pass at club members price for  why is there not a members price for one day?
I have nvr seen a trade show that cost more then $50 until now news to me.......
For some odd reason I dont think we will have a big turnout like orlando....

 

And for the people coming from around the country not worried bout the cost....... Um they prob make a lot of money, or have no family..... Bargain no not at all....
