sema is not usually open to the public... afaik you have to own a company that deals with automotive industry.. if you know anybody they can get you tickets.. for free or for a small price. i think 15 dollars on presale... its in las vegas around november.... see you there

are you sure it is not for public? That is weird because as it is presented in TV shows it seems pretty public

I know the big SEMA show in Vegas in NOT open to the public, but I remember a year or two ago SEMA had a smaller show for the public in the Los Angeles area. I don't know if the public show is a yearly event like the other show or whether it is always in the Los Angeles area.

Shame on them not opening SEMA for public. So what is the place where I can actually see all those cars and mostly "pimped" accesories so I can perhaps buy some?????
