Admission to the JOGS Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show varies:
For Wholesale attendees, admission is free with registration. However, for General Public attendees, there is an admission fee. This means that Wholesale attendees can access the show at no cost by registering, while members of the General Public need to purchase tickets for admission. 

Both Wholesale attendees and the General Public have the opportunity to make purchases at the JOGS Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show. However, it’s important to note that General Public attendees may not have access to wholesale prices and are more likely to encounter retail prices when making purchases. This means that while both groups can enjoy the show’s offerings, Wholesale attendees often benefit from exclusive pricing advantages not available to the General Public.
