You can get tickets ahead of time for $2.50 apiece through any
TicketMaster outlet; I did this a couple weeks ago, and it
worked fine. Advice: order about a week in advance. You have to
specify the time you want to go in _to within fifteen minutes_.

As for the "get up really early in the morning", it would have
to be _really_ early. That line fills up fast.

I don't know that part, other than it is at very least here for
the whole summer.

You can get tickets through Ticketron (or Ticketmaster -- Can't
remember which). The show itself is free, but you'd have to pay 
the service charge, $2.50 I think. The show has been extended until
January.

Star Trek exhibit tickets can be ordered through TicketMaster.  The tickets
are free, however, TicketMaster charges $2.50 handling fee per ticket.
The DC area phone number for TicketMaster is (202) 432-7328.

You can get the tickets at Ticketmaster outlets. (I think that's the one,
call them to make sure.)  The tickets are free (as they are at the
Smithsonian) but if you buy them at the outlet, you have to pay their
"service charge", $3.50, I think.  Still, if avoiding getting up in the
morning is worth as much to you as it is to me, that's not so much to pay.

I have been told by people working the exhibit the following:
 
1.  Approximately 3,400 people come through the exhibit daily (weekdays and
    weekends)
2.  The line for the tickets forms early and is long.  It is best to get there
    no later than 8:00 am.
3.  It's a good idea to get the tickets from TicketMaster even though there is
    a $2.50 service fee.  That way you won't waste your time and you won't be
    disappointed by not getting in the day you want.
4.  Some people have been lucky about getting tickets quickly and with very
    little problem--they are the exception; not the rule.

I just called the NASM.  The exhibit is leaving January 31, 1993.

I just went Sunday (August 2).  I arrived about 11:00 a.m. and got tickets 
for 3:30 p.m..
