Getting into E3; How Difficult Is It To Do?

(1/14) > >>

BlackNMild2k1:
I really want to know how hard is it to get into E3 for someone that doesn't have any direct ties to the industry?




What are the requirements needed to get into E3? And have any of you ever been? or planning to go this year?

You have to have some sort of proof you belong. Have articles about games published for at least a year or so, on a consistent basis. The guy that runs VGMaps.com, JonLeung, was denied access this year even though his site is very busy. But he doesn't write articles, just participates in his forums. He made the offer for me to tag along if he got accepted... darn it all. Caterkiller was even gracious enough to take me in for a few days.

Jon did make it in the year that the Wii was shown off, but I believe the year after they cracked down on who was allowed in.

Caterkiller:
I guess besides being an insider you you've just got to have the hook up. But once you are registered online and such that's it, when you have your badge you have your badge and that's it, you are free to come and go as you please with no one hassling you.


Would have been nice having you over Bustin. Maybe next year! I've got this great super secret free haunted parking spot that I park in every time I go to Anime Expo or E3. I'm always afraid my car is going to disappear every time I park, but it's been 4 consistent years and I'm still going strong!

I was invited by a 3rd Party Manufacturer a few years ago.  Planned on going, but then my car died and I had to get a new one.  Was sad.

You can apply right on the E3 web site. When I did it I had to provide a scan of my photo ID and NWR business card and links to articles I've written on the site.
