If you aren't going to the National skip this thread, otherwise...

So...I called the National show manager's office today.

According to his print-out that he read to me, the 4:00 pm sneak peek is open to VIP ticket holders and NAXCOM "power hour" ticket holders, all others get in at 5:00 pm.

However, I pointed out to him that this is not listed on the National and NAXCOM sites. That, according to the sites, VIP holders get in at 5 pm and Power Hour NAXCOM holders at 4 pm. His response was that VIP holders should be able to get in at 4 pm (and that the VIP lounge was being sponsored by NAXCOM).

My final question for him: "So, just to confirm, I don't need to buy the VIP ticket and the NAXCOM ticket to get in at 4?"

His response: "I don't think so, you should be fine with the VIP ticket."

So -- I'm sticking with the VIP ticket and not buying the Power Hour ticket, too...and keeping fingers crossed that he is right.

Not altogether reassuring from the same folks that always schedule the National to run opposite Hall of Fame weekend and the card show in Cooperstown...
