Not sure what is inaccurate. Directly from the SEMA website, info below. If you are an exhibiting manufacturer, etc. They are max $75. If you are not exhibiting each pass is $200. In the instances mentioned above they would be $200.

Cheapest was $25 if you are a registered exhibiting manufacturer etc. that registers online.

Pricing Policies
No refunds will be provided.
Your badge permits you to enter both AAPEX and the SEMA show.
Category Fee
Online (through October 18) $25
Fax or Mail (through October 18) $50
On-site (starting October 19) $75
Nonexhibiting Manufacturers/Suppliers/Importers/Exporters $200

Qualification Policies
If both you and your company are new to AAPEX and the SEMA Show, you will be asked to submit two forms of qualifying materials during the registration process. Please have your qualifying materials ready when you proceed with registration.

Also, company approval does not guarantee approval of an individual with that company. You may be asked to submit qualifying materials.

Tax registration certificate or business registration

You would not be paying $200. If you are associated with a car-related business, you would be paying at maximum $75. The reason is you would be registered as a "buyer" and not a manufacturer.

So if you get in the paperwork or you get in with a friend who has a business before Oct. 18, you can get in for $25.

If that's the case the website isn't very clear and doesn't mention that option at all when you go to register.

Either way, doesn't really matter as I am just curious who was going and if they wanted to co-ordinate meet ups etc.

Still undecided about this year. Gonna see if work bring's it up or not and go from there. May just do a red-eye, kill my legs and feet, crash in some lounge, walk another couple areas, then red-eye it back.

If I knew there wasn't a risk of getting future badges yanked I'd say "Yeah".

Just register now or gate-crash day-of. It really isn't that expensive considering what and who you get to see for the price.
