Public admission falls into 2 categories:

WEEKEND TRADER ADMISSION TICKETS

WEEKEND TRADER tickets cost $50 and include one (1) non-collecting significant other. A collecting significant other will need a separate Weekend Trader ticket.

Attend all 4 days of the show and participate in all activities as space allows. Weekend Traders can sit at a table on Thursday, but tables are assigned starting on Friday. Weekend Traders can be collectors but you do not have to be a collector. It is the perfect way to be at the SUPERSHOW as a newbie because you have more opportunities to learn about the magic and enjoyment of the fountain pen world.

Only Weekend Traders and Exhibitors can attend the SUPERSHOW on Thursday and Friday morning - you have more time to interact with exhibitors and other Weekend Traders and admitted early on Saturday and Sunday.
