Tulsa gunshow admission cost?

Does anyone know for sure the cost of general admission to the November Tulsa gun show (Wanenmacher's)? The Wanenmacher website says $10 a day; some other online gunshow listings say $15. I have a table so won't be affected, but I'd like to know what to tell others who may want to attend.
(FWIW, $15 wouldn't surprise me; a lot of much smaller shows have really boosted admission prices in the past year or so.)

It still shows $10.00 on their website. I would go with that. RK shows around here have been $12.00 for a few years. Tulsa always sells tickets outside, exact change only. Doors don't open until right at 8;00am on the dot.
I'm ready.
Tell folks to have a 10 spot and a 5 spot in their pocket and they won't be disappointed.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Been several years ago since I was there but we bought tickets on Friday at a nearby gun shop.
Sort of VIP. Went to show walked straight in at 8am, no waiting in line.
This was at the April show.
They better bring more than 15 bucks to Tulsa!
Not being snide but if you worry about the cost of Tulsa entry fee you better stay home.
Maybe that's why some shows sell jerky and other cheap junk.
Illinois has made it to where you really can't sell firearms at a show like in the past. FOID's, call in to the state, fed. check, ect. living in the past, the "old days" individuals could set up and many sold their excess.
$10 a day is correct. See ya there.
Interesting question ,,,,,, I’ve wondered how the state handles the big firearms auction in Rock Island, Illinois. They sell on line(auction), and in attendance.
FFL's in hand or registered beforehand. My best gun shop sends a guy to an auction if they see something they need and have all paperwork with the auction company beforehand and grab and go if bought.
State Fairgrounds has a fair show here each yr...however their 10 bucks to get in is reasonable. Parking for 10 dollars is not.
Our local gun shows give one dollar senior and or veteran discounts to get in.
Cash and carry on private collections is what I saw last time I was there. The fella selling didn't have anything I wanted though.
Don't think that applies anymore with the new structured FFL' that Illinois now requires from the state level. Can't see an auction house selling to individuals and risking their * because of asinine state laws.
I should've specified - Tulsa. Screw Illinois.

Well, I don't remember a year when prices went down any. Democrat presidents are usually good for gun sales despite price increases. During the the Trump years all the democrats bought guns, so that was good for sales too.
