Id love to go, but the fact its in LA, rather than anywhere near me means Im not.

One day I will though, one day.

I have a ticket to go, but I actually can't make it. I was going to go with someone else, but they couldn't go, and I decided it would cost too much by myself .

No. Mine is one I got for being an employee of a video game store. They're free, and they check ID very carefully apparently. If you work in a retail place that sells video games of pretty much any kind, or in any industry related to video games, you can get a free basic 3 day ticket on the e3 website.

I went to E3 last year. I used a pass given to the local GameCrazy store. They don't check IDs, but everyone will address you as whatever names on the badge. Hopefully I can get a pass for this year too.

Im going to ECTS...

Might go to ECTS myself this year, if enough big names are back, judging by last years line up they could be, havent been since it went to docklands that year by god it was out of the way. Big place but a bugger to go to, train then tube then docklands, all in all a pain with all the switchin transport.

You used to be able to, but I believe they made it 'trade and press only' a couple of years back. That's not to say you can't quickly knock up a semi-convincing games website and try your luck though

Or a home bussiness

perry · Post by **perry** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 5:26 pm

Heh my boss is acquiring tickets. Though I do work in trade technically lol I suppose thats how he could get em..

id love to go to ECTS too, but id have to take the train to London.
Not only would I have to sit on a train for 3 hours or whatever, I'd end up in London.

The only place I know of where driving and parking mean the exact same thing...going nowhere.

And you have to pay to do that. Isn't it like ?5 to get into the city centre

Yes it is a fun ride down to London with a dodgy most likely old train thats filled beyond what it was intended to be (that last point works for almost all trains round here that're goin a long way). But who uses a car in London? just hop on the tube and away you go, its fast and you dont have to see London as you travel, which can be a bonus

How about sending a ticket over to my way.

I'm too lazy to be asking for passes outside this year. I just live a few blocks from the venue.
