Hello Rebecca Ross-Russell,

    By the time you will be getting to the Tucson Shows on February 6th,
    the four major shows which are "wholesale only" and require a tax ID,
    and other stringent means of proving that you are a wholesale buyer,
    will be over or will be ending on the day you arrive. They are the
    GLDA show at the Star Pass Resort, and the three "wholesale only"
    downtown shows - the GJX (Big tent in front of the Convention Center
    on S. Granada Ave)- the AGTA at the Convention Center and the WGJ at
    the The Hotel Arizona (formerly Radisson City Center) (it is a new
    show that replaces the old GLDA show - with many of the original GLDA
    exhibitors). 

    Since you only have one short day for all of these shows (these
    shows close early on the last day - you can only get in the door up
    to 3 p.m.) The GJX and the WGJ are the only two you should try to get
    into. If you get into one, then you can get into the other - as they
    are run by the same show promoter. 

    The AGTA show is extremely strict about having a tax ID and a
    handful of Invoices proving you are a colored stone buyer. 

    The GLDA show at the Star Pass Resort ends on February 5th. 

    If you manage to get a badge for the GJX and/or the WGJ shows, you
    will be able to get into any of the other "wholesale only" shows
    around Tucson with no problem. At these other shows, they usually
    just affix a sticker to the GJX Buyer Badge, though they will
    probably ask you to leave them a business card so that they can put
    you on their mailing list for the next year's show information
    mailings. 

    Check out the Tucson Show Guide online which lists the shows
    locations and dates: http://www.tucsonshowguide.com/tsg/show_index.cfm
    On some of these there are links where you can pre-register so that
    your badge should be ready when you show up at the registration desk
    at the show. 

    Have fun and come by our booth at the GJX to say hello. 

Best regards,
Robert Lowe
