You would probably have to bribe someone to get one of those badges.

Uhh, you've been misinformed.

Haha, no. It has very high security. It's not like you buy tickets at the door, either. If i'm not mistaken, they send you forms, you send back information, they send back tickets. You normally have your ID badge before E3 even takes place.

Yeah, you are pretty much right.
The press gets their badges before hand, and this year, even regular attendees can get their bages before hand too.
Regular attendees can still register onsite, I believe, but you still need the ID as listed above.

Are you going to attend, Cheapy? I Imagine this website is enough to make you eligible.

well, that's just if you want to go as industry personnel. there are several ways to go as press; i write a gaming column for a newspaper so i'm going as 'print media', and i only need to provide an ID, business card and bylined article i've written. just saying that's not the only way to get in.

I'm sure with the proper motivation you can get in, forge some shit if you have too.

I went to E3 once when it was in Atlanta (I think it was in 98). I seem to remember that I filled out a form on their website requesting information about the show and at some point later they sent me the form necessary to get in. I made copies of the form and was able to get two friends of mine in as well.

If you're absolutely at the end of the line and totally desperate, you can show up at the LA Convention Center after the first day and try checking the garbage bins around it. There are many people who only attend the first day of E3 and then toss their ID badges away. Considering that security only checks to see if you have a badge and not whether you match it, you might get in that way...
