Our good friends at MINIUSA were able to arrange for a limited number of passes to attend the Chicago Auto Show media preview day on Friday February 9th.
A great opportunity to experience one of the countries largest shows before it opens to the general public.
WRAPUP: A very snowy day kept the sparse crowds even quieter. All the better opportunity to get more 1 on 1 times with the cars and the rides. Huge thanks to MINIUSA for making these tickets available to our club!
NOTE: Request access link has been disabled
How to get a pass: Go to THIS LINK to request a ticket. In Mid-January, we will send out an email with a different link to the formal Auto Show registration form and you will be able to print out the ticket you need to enter the show.
Highest priority for tickets goes to current club members.

Have never been. Threw my name into the hat. Would be cool to check it out.
Media preview day is great because the crowds are much smaller. You are in, but the link to get your tickets will be sent out in a couple weeks.
Awesome! I look forward to the experience. I know I’m excited and my cousin will be too. 🙂
I Enjoyed this event last year, requested tickets once again. Thanks for getting it all set up, Steve!
Sherri & I are in. Hands down the best way to see the show!
Thank you again Steve for this opportunity. My friend has a Countryman and we love stopping by the MINI booth every year. Hopefully we can get passes through you again. This would be our 4th year under Media Day – and we love it – one on one with all the new cars and get to ask limited questions.
Will be there for sure!
Becky and I will be coming to.
Amy and I will be there with a potential member
I’ve sent out emails to all who have responded.. if you didnt get something, let me know please
Sorry don’t seem to have it
Just e-mailed you the details again
Should I have gotten the tickets
Sent from my iPad
I’ve emailed you information twice now..
Can you send me an email at steve@chicagominiclub.com
can you send me an email directly instead of filling out the form again.. steve@chicagominiclub.com
Thanks.. your email has been replied to with info on how to register.. See you at the Auto Show!!
Kim and I will be there. Thanks Steve and MINI USA 🙂
Umm, just saw a commercial for the charity day auto show. Do we need a tux? It said black tie only
Nope, no tux needed. They kick everyone out of the Media preview day at 2pm and reset for the evening event.
If you do show up in a tux.. I’ll take a pic and put you up on the club website 😉
Ahh so we are day time and tuxedos at night
Please note: I have had a bunch of recent responses for tickets in the past 24 hours.
I wont be able to send back the details till late tonight. I hit a mail sending limit yesterday and am in a “cool off” period.
Update: Still having issues sending out emails.. I will be sending out info to everyone Friday morning
I haven’t seen any email for this – Did I register correctly?
Hi Mike,
I had sent it several weeks ago.. resent to you this morning
Looking now and still no email. Can you confirm where it was sent? I’m getting concerned!
Just replied to the email you sent me.. (and it was the same email address).. Am I going to your spam box?
Nothing in Junk, nothing in my inbox. I’ll send you my work email and they there instead…
sent again..
Sherri and I went to the show today had a great time. Spoke with the MINI reps at length as it was a slow traffic day. We missed seeing any club members though. 🙁
Missed seeing you guys.. Ran into several club members while wandering around.
