Default Detroit Auto Show Ticket

Anyone who bought a Detroit auto show ticket for the unveiling of the 2006 ZO6 7 C6R on the NCM site, November 12, 2004, finds that they are unable to attend the showing, I would be interested in purchasing the ticket from them. Please contact me via PM.

Thanks,
Starman

Default A tip.

Here's a tip for first time Detroit Auto Show goers. Get your ticket ahead of time. There's going to be two lines. One line to get your ticket. And it's 16people wide and long as heck. If you have your ticket, then the getting into the show line is a little shorter.

The ticket that Starman wants will get you in 2 hours before the show opens on January 15th and be present at the Dave Hill introduction of the Z06. The NCM had 125 tickets available.

And those tickets were sold in two hours. No, I didn't make that two hour window!

Getting a ticket ahead of time sounds like a good idea. How do out-of-towners do this?

Default Here.

Here in the metro Detroit area there are several "Ticketmaster" type places. The name of the building is, Cobo Hall. Possibly they have a web site.

Lots of indoor parking right in Cobo Hall if you get there early. Otherwise, it's outdoors and you know how cold Detroit can be in January.

Default Parking.

Yes, it's true about the cold. The reason is because of the Detroit River. Even during the summer, you can count on about 10 degrees colder there.
Here's the thing about parking. You will pass the guys trying to flag you into their places. And you think, "I should go there". Well maybe you should. Cobo parking is great, but so are the places of the flagging guys. No matter what your choice is, think of this. Have you ever read in the magazines that, "Spectators die of cold at Cobo Hall"........No.
You will get cold, but you will not die.

I try to go to the Detroit show every year...
last year I found that the garage which is attached to Cobo is very convenient. It does get cold though! Even for that short walk. Don't forget your gloves!

save the wave!

Thanks for the link. I can purchase an e-voucher there, but it must be exchanged for a ticket at the e-ticket window. Is there an advantage to this? Are the lines shorter at the e-ticket window?
