Default IMS - Chicago anyone going?

Anyone going to the Int. Motorcycle show / Chicago this weekend. If you are, have you found any online promotional codes for online tickets. From the reviews of other shows that have already happened I'm not sure I would pay full price to get in plus parking.

Black Sheep in Wauconda has $3 off coupons. Maybe some other dealers (insert brand here) will have them too. Call around.

I park at the CTA parking lot just north of the Convention Center on River Road. They have raised their price to $5.00 (i think) and there is usually a free shuttle bus to and from the convention center. And its only a few blocks walk if the weather isn't too bad. I haven't parked in Rosemont's convention lot in a long time but I think it was 15 or 20 bucks.

Going on Saturday. I purchased on the 12th....1 hour before they raised the online prices. But I think Allstate, State Farm, and Progressive insurance all have $2-3 of promo codes floating around if you check their web sites.

The wife and I, along with a couple freinds are going sunday. We always enjoy it, but it does get expensive especially if you purchase some liquid refreshment. I think the progressive code ended last Friday. I got a shirt I like alot last year and my battery tender the year before.
