You only get in one line in NY. Either the General Admission line or the Pro Cardholders line. Once you get up to the counter and check in with your printed ticket confirmation then you get your wristband and you're free to go on the floor. The lines to get in can get very long though but they tend to move pretty quickly. Wait times for popular brands is expected and it always amuses me when people get mad about it. When you're dealing with hundreds of people trying to do exactly what you're doing (buy stuff at a discount) then you have to know that quick just won't exist. I'm not the most patient person but I also know what I'm getting myself in to when attending open trade shows like IMATS so I plan accordingly lol. LC, SugarPill, ABH, OCC, Sigma, and Make Up For Ever are always going to be long wait times. Others will too but those are always guaranteed to have a crowd. If a brand is new to the show and has a great following already chances are they will have long lines and may sellout of what you want. That's one thing people complain about but they have to consider the sheer volume of people attending and the popularity of certain things. If it's something you really want then you need to make it a priority to go to those booths first. Just wish more people saw the whole picture when it comes to attending these shows. But...IMATS definitely needs to get more organized with the shows too. As they grow in popularity they need to revise the way they execute the shows.

I don't mind waiting depending on the line but I agree that people have a distorted view. Thankfully most of the youtube reviews Ive watched, people were pretty realistic about what to expect so I'm hoping my game plan works out. I've got a decent list of MUFE stuff I want so I'll probably head there first. I have tickets for Sat and Sun anyways so I'll have 2 chances provided stock is still available. I feel you need to write a book called IMATS 101 lol. The amount of tips you've given me haha :)

If they run out of something you want at the MUFE booth they usually have the same discount at the Times Square Boutique during the show weekend. Just something to keep in mind. It's also a major plus if you have your wish list already made out for the booths. Some booths hand out papers for you to write down what you want and that will get you through the madness that much easier. MUFE, Inglot, and OCC are 3 booths that do that. There are a few others too.

@butterflyeyes I'm not necessarily in the convo, but THANK YOU for all the IMATS tips!! This is my first year going and I have all my lists made out, but it's good to know a little more of what to expect.

Oh most definitely! I want to experience it all! The main reason I wanted to go to IMATS is to see/meet Kevin James Bennett and see a few seminars… then the discounts!! haha

Wow. I was so amped about Riot but these swatches are killing that real quick. Especially that last one. I thought it was going to be more brown/earthy.

Hopefully you can. I saw last year when it got closer time to the event, people started selling their Saturday ticket. Hopefully you get one!!

Thanks for all the responses guys. It's just baffling to me. I recently made a comment regarding the release of riot and why she hasn't said anything. Then all of a sudden a slew of lime crime bodyguards started to verbally attack me. Afterwards I was blocked. That was ridiculous. If I own a business and had customers asking questions whether it be face to face or online I would be very cautious on how I or my team respond to them. Word of mouth can make or break a business. I had an okay experience with lime crime the first time I ordered Pansy. It was delivered to me in a week and I really liked the product. But all of this afterwards is like, wow. All the hype as dwindled for me after that just like it has for jordans. When you get to really see the person behind the brand and how they really are, it becomes a game changer.

I saw someone say that if you know someone who does have a pro card, they may still be able to buy you a ticket as their guest. Maybe you guys can try that if you know anyone.

Alex, my friend and I are going on the Saturday so if you want to meet up we can, and we can take advantage of the buddy system. We're also going on the Sunday and another friend who couldn't get a Saturday ticket will be there so it'll be loads of fun. I'd be happy to grab on Sunday anything you miss on the Saturday as well.

Say what? Maybe I should just go to the Times Square Boutique altogether and skip their line at IMATS lol. I have my basics list ready but I did want to swatch the foundations to make sure the number I think I am is correct. We get in to NY on the Thursday so maybe I can swatch in a Sephora or something prior to the show. Thanks again for your many comments! You have been such an amazing help! For Inglot I have my list written down too as well as for Sugarpill and Morphe so we'll see how that goes.

She was know from when she was doing her glitters/pigments and then there was drama over a whole set of stuff. To be honest, I think she got popular from the drama. The velvetines I think have pushed her further ahead for sure. ABH just got added to the exhibitor list this week and their booths are almost next to each other. I feel like that is such a bad idea. That corner of the center is going to be mental.

Oh I honestly don't expect it to be anything less than hectic...I expect the same for Dose of Colors. LC is a booth I would try to hit on pro night like I did last year. The line was crazy then too but it was much better than it was on general admission days. This year pro night might actually be a little better since some people are complaining about pros having to pay this year versus how it was previously (free for the pro and $20 for a guest). I love IMATS but it's much more crowded and disorganized than events that aren't open to the public (TMS for example).

Don't be sorry. I actually say that it was a blessing in deguise. I was able to save my coins to get other things that I wanted off my list. Yes I was pissed off the first night but than I read what you wrote, "can't trust someone with no eyebrows" ROTFLMAO!!! That really made my day. Why the heck am I trippin over this person with no eyebrows??? Lol!! For now I am sooooo over it. When it does come out I'll get it if I still want it but really I doubt that will be the case.
