Default Trouble with ITA Expo in Vegas. Am I being a jerk?

We bought 5 booths for the ITA Expo in Vegas. How many passes should we get? Now mind you... I'm NOT looking for any passes to get to any of the educational classes or events, just passes to get into the vendor hall to work our 5 booths.

1 pass per booth?
2 passes per booth?
3 passes per booth?

What do you think is reasonable?

In a former life I used to work 8-10 trade shows a year for my company, we always got 2 passes per booth, more if we sponsored a dinner or cocktail hour.

I had hoped we could bring enough staffers and member/volunteers to give everyone one day off out of the days we need to work the booths and enjoy Vegas a little.

If I had One Booth I would expect at Least two passes so 5 booth at least 10 passes maybe more . If any less then they are not smart Business people and will suffer in the future .

2 passes per booth.

How much is a pass for the vendor area only?

That price includes much more than just the vendor area.

Nick

I would think a reasonable amount would be 2 minimum to allow for washroom breaks,coffee breaks,lunch and dinner breaks.3 would be better,4 would be a good business practice!!!

Please don't tell me they gave only 1[one] man are they cheap.If they gave you only one.We should boycott these guys next year!!!

I would say that 2 a booth is mimimum. For purchasing 5 booths and speaking at their open houses, 3 per booth and a red carpet rolled out

ps-I attended ITA in Nov 04 and recall Nachi being metioned briefly as one of the "other" organizations you could join. Hope that has changed now!
