Access to the building has nothing to do with "clout or leverage". It is a
matter of security for the venders and train displays. The more people running
around inside that huge building for longer hours, the more chance of giving
some dishonest person the opportunity do something dishonest. GATS security
people can't possibly keep an eye on the entire facility and each vender's
property. I would assume that most venders don't want to come and sit by there
both for lots of non-selling hours, once they've set-up.
My suggestion is to arrive at the specified time so you don't have to sit around
for an inordinate amount of time.
I requested 10 passes and if we need more it is just a matter of talking with
the GATS people at the registration table to get more. We did this at the last
show without any problem. Please let me know if you have any other concerns,
