When I was there they were giving applications I did not see them handing any cards out. I was asked if i had one as they were going to give me a application if I didn't. So I am pretty sure they weren't giving them out because my friend who was with me and is not a makeup aritist would've been all over that!!!!!

Maybe its because you no longer need creditation to enter IMATS. You used to "have to", but apparently they never checked

i really want to know about this as well... i am debating whether or not to book a $400 hotel for the show, and NEED to know whether or not i can get the card.
i do a lot of makeup on other people but they pay me nominal amounts of money and i never have them sign contracts...

You could probably find cheaper places to stay at like a motel or a cheaper hotel cuz $400 sounds pretty crazy.
I saw videos youtube about the IMATs and how they were letting anyone get MAC Pro cards there without any credentials. I don't know exactly how that would work but that's what I've been hearing.

The $15 is just for the exhibit floor to buy the products whereas the $35 ticket is for classes and speakers along with the exhibit floor. If you're just looking to buy makeup go for the cheaper ticket. If you want to learn from different artists and purchase products, get the $35 ticket, it's worth it.

Ooo I wanna know too! I have a rough estimate on what to bring from watching vids on youtube but its so frustrating when the people making the videos don't give prices. Anyone know if will call is open before the show or at the same time?

I'll be there both days competing in both the Fashion and FX competitions.
Make a budget and figure out what you want to buy before going. Go online and find out how much something is worth. No guarantees if that company will have a discount at IMATS. Have an extra $100 or something like that for just in case. Need more money? Some vendors take credit cards and there's ATMs across the street. Cash normally gives you a little more bargaining room with some vendors (but not MAC, MUFE, PPI among a few) but please realize you may piss off those vendors as they're feeling the economy crunch too. IMATS is the most expensive makeup show to be a vendor at - some may break even this year.
Will Call's open before and during the show.

i recieved my tickets day before yesterday and they are attached to a "note" that says, "... wristbands MUST be worn at all times onn the wrist, not carried or cut off. For a 2 day ticket, the SAME wristband MUST be worn for both SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. if you lose or cut off your wristband, you must purchase a new ticket to re-enter the show....tickets are non-refudable..."
after reading this i was like, well damn i hope these damn wristbands WATER PROOF??? because i am going to take a bath when i get back to my room.
