i was wondering if i could get my ticket threw ticket master?

 

[Cinci]

I am not sure if you can get tickets through ticketmaster, but you can order them online here:
https://makeupmag.com/imats_tickets/cPath/196/

Early bird ticket pricing ends on Thursday (March 11th). Advance ticket pricing is $30.00 for one day, or $50.00 for two days. Tickets at the door are $40.00 for one day, or $70.00 for two.

I ordered tickets for both days. I figured if I'm flying all the way accross the country for this, I'm going to to take in as much as possible. I'm going with a friend and we plan to catch a few seminars and then shop like mad women! Bye bye bank account!

Thankfully with the show being held in Vancouver, the 3 hour time difference will make it feel like it's not so early for me!

Yay! I was thinking of the exact same thing. Fill up 1 palette and get a couple foundations lolz!!

Shauna!

I bought my ticket also for saturday.
Just excited to SHOP.

 

[gabi03]

I'm happy, my bf bought my ticket for Saturday

My only question is, is it better to show up early like before the door opens or just casually come on in around 10 or so? I'll be driving from Seattle, so I just wanted to know if i should arrive the night before and sleep in Vancouver or get up god awful early on Sat...

I've never been to IMATS before so i'm not sure what to expect, i just wanna have some fun (and buy some makeup)

 

[psychotums]

I'm going to be attending on the Saturday as well with a girl friend. I'm really excited about it, this is going to be my first IMATS experience. We plan on getting there early as well, I wonder how crazy it's going to be at 8:30 in the morning!? I have already compiled a list of things I'd like to try and pick up if they are available. I have a few things from MUFE I would like to try, but I am most excited about NARS. I don't know what kind of discounts to be expecting, so I'm already trying to budget. I'm also curious to know how stocked each booth is going to be product wise.
