I'm sure if somebody wants to get in bad enough they can find somebody who
knows somebody who can get them tickets. But the show never was for the
public, which is also indicated in the name N.A. "Music Merchants". That's
why I never went.

But I used to go to the yearly Goodman music show that was held on a couple
floors of a hotel. All the synthesizer companies were there showing their
stuff to the public. But that show no longer exists.
