Questions before possible first MACNA

[yellowtruck75]

I might be going out to MACNA this year but I have a few questions first.

-Do I have to buy my ticket ahead of time or can I purchase at the door?
-When do I go if I just want to check out the vendors and corals?
-Is there a time I can go and pick up a bunch of frags and corals?
-Are corals and equipment usually priced cheaper at MACNA?
-What is suggested to take around with me at the meeting to carry possible corals and gear with?
-Are tickets cheaper for people that are dragged along to keep me company like my girlfriend? hahaha

Sorry for all the questions but I don't want to drive 4 hours and be unprepared.

Thanks

It would help us with our planning if you prepurchasd your ticket, but yes, passes can be bought at the door.

Anytime the trade show is open.

Same as above.

There are some companies that give out free samples of products, but other than that most things seem to be close to e-tail pricing.

All attendees will be given a bag when they check in that you could use to carry around smaller items.

You could get her a trade-show only pass.

I think that I am going to come out just for Saturday and attend the trade show. Thanks for all the help.
