Topic: E3 Admissions

How exactly would a person be able to go to E3?

I work at a store that sells video games (Sam Goody).

I'm in school trying to get a bachelors degree in GAME ART & DESIGN.

would this be enough in order for me to go?

and would i have to pay?

As far as I know, its a media-only event, so that won't be enough unfortunately.
Maybe a local can give some more details.

Well i heard that anyone who works at a GameStop or EbGames can go.  Actually 2 of my friends work at GameStop and they are going with expenses paid.  They told me to try and register on the website but I havent gotten a rejection or acceptance yet.

E3 is a corporate show. You have to be affiliated with a games company to go, and the company usually chooses who will represent them. It is not open to the public.

Dude awesome i called them and they said i could qualify!
They told me as long as i worked at any electronic entertainment place i could go and i said "Sam Goody" and he said that i would qualify!

I still doubt i can go though......I'll just wait for that email or letter response from them......plz oh god plz!!!!!!

Yes, as long as you work in the industry whether that be working at a store that sells video games, or part of the print/online press you can go.  Myself, I will be going as a member of the online press/media.  Media briefings...here I come!

You've got a problem though. While you do qualify for Package 5 of general admission (free admission to the show floor for members of the industry) the deadline for applying is April 9th, which was yesterday. It's $325 for general show floor admission if you're not in the industry.
