Oct 09: Indy 1500 General Discussion

[LLDJR]

Why don't they post admission prices?

Evidently it was $9 back in January...

 

[henktermaat]

Yeah- what is the cost these days- and does it cost to park as well?

 

[lovemywoods]

Which building will it be in this time around? The one with 3 different rooms or the one with 1 big room?

...and does it cost to park as well?

It's in the South Pavilion Building (3 different rooms).

Parking is $3 per car.

Hours are:
Friday 2 am - 8 pm
Saturday 8 am - 6 pm
Sunday 9 am - 4 pm

its something to do! I usually go to pick up some small stuff and look at prices. Plus, I ususally stop somewhere and get something good to eat. Usually its at the Burrito Joint over on Tibbs, but this time I think I may hit up Papa Ru or Shapiros.

 

[theweakerbrother]

You will not be disappointed with Papa Roux.

I've never found that the prices of the 1500 have ever been good enough for me to buy a complete gun (except 21st had the best deal and was literally the only place I saw G19s). You do get to handle a lot of stuff. Haggle!

Don't forget to hit up the jerky man who is usually near the rear. Mmm, jerky.

 

[Hornett]

ALMONDS Mmmmmmmm

JERKY MMmmmmmmm

And then there's guns n' stuff.

I am trying to get there Friday when they open.

If they only had the chocolate covered bacon ike the state fair...

Is the parking in the same place as the last & is the building in the same locale(The one with 3 rooms)?Only my second indy 1500 but cant wait till this weekend.The drive from the fort is well worth it ,I blew off the ft wayne show because my gut was telling me it would s*ck compared to the indy show.

 

[IndySKS]

Haven't been there before either. Was thinking about going, but can you walk around with a for sale sign attached to a gun you want to sell? Been to some shows that are ok with that and some that are not.

 

[Hornett]

I've seen lots of guns with for sale flags on them.
Unless they changed their policy, they are fine with it.

 

[henktermaat]

Isn't there a "loophole" located somewhere at the 1500 - and how can I get involved? Is there a loophole membership fee or anything?

The show is in the South Pavilion this time. The location alternates between that one and the Expo Hall (southwest corner of the fairgrounds).

Parking for the South Pavilion is to the east of the building. Additional parking is directly across 38th street.

your a good man

 

[50bmgshooter]

the 1500 is one of the best places around indy to pick up anything related to guns or ammo. if your on a budget or want to save money then do this......walk around the show once and look at prices, then go buy the best priced guns, ammo, gear, etc. i've seen far too many people buy something as soon as they see and just a few tables down is the same stuff for much less $$

 

[jwdeal]

looking for a glock and a bersa deal

I hope i can find a Glock 19 and maybe a bersa 380 or 9mm and get a package price on both

I would suggest checking out the Plainfield SHooting Supplies booth. They usually have the best prices on Glocks at the show.

 

[jwdeal]

any idea what bottom dollar would be for a 19??

 

[Bruenor]

Since INGO will have booth space, can we stop by and sign up to be a site supporter? I'd rather pay cash if I can. It's $10 a year minimum, right?

 

[Hemingway]

I'm interested in picking up a new (or like new) rifled 870 barrel (w/sights) at the 1500. Anyone recommend a dealer there for this there? What kind of price can I expect? They are ridiculous at Gander Mountain.
