You don't buy tickets. It's a trade show, not open for the public. You
have to have a business related to the electronic entertainment industry to
go. And now I think registration has gone to $100 for the basic package.

Just go to the convention center stand in the big line and pay you will get
your ticket(s) or pass to get in, thats all you need to do.
If I have the time to stop by thats how I'll be geting in

business(tax numbers, vendors, etc)
I got my ticket through my wholesaler--it was free!!
I know that it says $100 on the website but, that only if you wait 'til the
last minute. The way I see it is that if you're gonna be in LA on the 13th,
14th, or 15th you should at least stop by the convention center to try--THE
WORST THAT THEY CAN SAY IS : NO!!

>business(tax numbers, vendors, etc)
They never asked me such questions when I went to E3 in '96 (LA). I registered
on site the first day of the show, presented my fanzine business card, paid the
fee ($100 I think) and I was in.
The next two years in Atlanta I pre-registered and got press passes (yes, video
game fanzines DO count as part of the press). My experience is, it's not too
difficult to get in to E3 if you're paying the fee. Unless you're under 18
(and they're really not strict on that either) why would they refuse the money?
Print up some business cards with a believable game store name and you're
pretty much set. It's not as difficult to get in as most people believe. Of
course, experiences differ, and this is mine.

was if I was paying by check or cash, after paying $50 I went where they had
the computers and registered myself and got my pass.
and when I got in I saw lot of under age kids running around.

needed? A credit card charge of $45 and a web page address. They'll send
you a badge without any problems.

It is indeed a piece of cake. I'm going this year (can't wait!) and used my job
(video game retail sales) as "credentials" for going. Sure I had to pay the $45
(with a credit card), but I don't mind...

waiting to go to E3 for so long, it just never seemed to be near me. I
registered online and I received my badge and the free guest pass. I was
going to take my girlfriend, who doesn't really want to go, but for the right
price I will sell it. If you are in the LA area, want to go, and can get back
to me soon than you have a ticket to E3 (exhibits only).

When I went in '96, I didn't know if they would let me in for being in
Retail game sales, but they didn't even ask for a business card(good
thing, since my job didn't give us any). So, anyone who is in the area
anyway and was thinking of going should just try. What have you got to
lose? 30 min. registration time(depending on the line(s)).
BTW I am slipping in for free with the same "credentials" this year.
Just hope I don't bump into any games-cause-violence people. GRRRRR!!!

well. :)
