Jan '12 1500: Indy 1500 1-13-14 & 15 Going?

[IndyPrepper]

My daughters 10th birthday this weekend and my car is in the shop for a ton of work, think I'm gunna miss this one.

 

[ZbornacSVT]

I'm going either Friday or Saturday. Wanting to talk to Bobcat about some custom work.

 

[shooter1054]

"Hostage" target?

 

[ZbornacSVT]

I'll get back to the drawing board now that I have my legs back under me.....been scrambling for material the last six weeks or so. I hate spot buys.....

 

[kennys_67]

yeah, right, never heard of it, but always up for a new shopping place

 

[Springer]

Planning on going Friday when they open, not really looking for anything specific.

 

[the1kidd03]

I frequent the 1500, but I've never gone with the intent to buy or even search for any holsters......so maybe someone can answer this.............is there anybody there that has a selection of safariland holsters?? I know I've seen hundreds of holster, but since I don't shop for them often I never paid attention......

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

I'm definitely going just to look around and buy some ammo.

 

[Knife Lady]

Stop by and say hello or introduce yourselves to Brad and I.
We will have 4 tables of KNIVES. Fondle them at your own risk.
I will have band aids with me.

We are located in the main room across from Raven Concealment.
Look for our black/silver banner

Don't forget we will be enforcing our rule...if you leave DNA on one of our blades, you have to buy it.

 

[JOLLYKART]

Going Friday, looking for a compact carry piece and some ammo. This will be my second gun show, still find it to be like watching a 3d movie.

 

[68_F100]

What have the ammo prices been like at the past few 1500s? Looking for 5.56/223 and 45 acp.

 

[Titanium Man]

Wife and I will be there. Never know what kind of good deals will be around.

Same here.

 

[Titanium Man]

Perhaps I'm overlooking the obvious but on the website I can't seem to find how much tickets are.

Usually $10 at the door, and if you have a coupon many of the patronizing gun dealers will have prior to the show, $9.

 

[Indy317]

Just remember the $5.00 parking fee is not related to the promoter or this show. It is the state of Indiana that charges for parking and the show promoter has no say on this. All events at the Indiana State Fairgrounds will cost you $5 to park.

Wonder if this has to do with the payout for the stage collapse. I could see the state nudging the state fair board to try and come up with a way to try and cover some of the costs of that incident.

I think I might be going, I have four handguns I wouldn't mind letting go of.

 

[Cemetery-man]

That's a 3 hour drive for me! I think I'll stay home.

 

[shadow6492]

Will probably head out Friday. Lookin for some reloading components for 458 socom and 308.

 

[radar44]

Can someone invite crossbreed to the show? I'll bet they'd sell a ton of stuff. I'll be one of the 1st in line on Friday, ready to pass 'em up as the ''deals'' come at me.

 

[Indy317]

Friday or Saturday?????

Folks, I need your help. I haven't been to a 1500 for some time now (years). If one wants to maximize chances for selling anything, is it better to go Friday from say 4-6PM, or Sat. the same time? I figure Sat. will be busier, but is there a pretty decent crowd size Friday a couple hours after doors open?
