7.19.19 Expo Attendees Receive Their Passes

[John]

Those who are attending the Friday, July 19th NCM/GM event, which NCM calls an “Expo,” started to receive their passes today. This group purchased their attendance at a cost of $2,500 for two people, knowing that is was not just for them, but also a NCM fund raiser — as GM had donated these slots to the Museum. As described, the Expo event:

”GM will host a reveal ‘expo’, giving participants the chance to see the car up close, network and talk to key people on their team, browse additional displays and more.”

Please note that the Expo pass you see below has had its bar code removed; bar codes will be scanned as a prerequisite for attendance — just as they were for the November 28, 2017 Los Angeles ZR1 convertible reveal.

As per the email that everyone received, “1*: This is a private event. Passes/barcodes must be presented July 19, 2019, at the event to enter. Each pass/barcode admits one person and is valid for one day only. Passes/barcodes are limited. Pass/barcode to the event is nonnegotiable and not redeemable for cash. Limit two passes/barcodes per owner. Pass/barcode is nontransferable. Passes/barcodes cannot be replaced if lost or stolen. Must register for the Next Generation Corvette Celebration to attend.”

We believe that there are 100 total in this Expo group. They will experience one significant advantage over the 7.18.19 reveal attendees, in that this group is literally 1/10 the size of the day’s before attendees, and this will give them greater direct vehicle and display access, e.g., fewer folks between each person and the vehicle/components that each person wants to see, photograph, and video.

At this time, we believe there is still one group who has not yet received their 7.18.19 official invites, the 500 persons invited by dealerships (250 dealerships X 2 guests each — though none of those 500 may be a dealership employee).

Wonder how soon this last group would get their invites? We do know when that occurs, it would be transmitted via email.

If that is the level of security protocols for the Expo event, I can only imagine what it will be for the 7.18.19 reveal itself.

One by one each of the steps to the reveal are happening. I like to see the first number down to a 7.

I received my passes to the Friday event and I'm thrilled! And yes, security is going to be tight. There are already local police monitoring the perimeter of the entire complex.
