E3 2020 Community Tickets sold out earlier this month, with the basic "Gamer Badge" going for $ 165. But there's also a "Premium Badge" that costs $ 995 higher. So what does all this extra money cost?
The biggest gain was seen as reaching the E3 floor floor on the first day of the show (Tuesday, June 9). Gamer Badge is only valid on Wednesdays and Thursdays. In a sense, this means that the owners of the Premium Badge gain more access to the show's lower games, without competition from other members of the public.
But the first day of E3 is usually very busy in the showroom, packed with presenters in the sports and media industry, who make up about 75 percent of E3 visitors. Admission is free to anyone who can show they are working in the industry, or who have certified media books. The first day is very commercial.
The Premium Badge also offers access to the living room where you can enjoy a "quiet place," according to the Entertainment Software Association, which runs E3. The living room also offers various services such as email access, such as a hotel business center.
There is also a reception that "Industry Managers" attend, as well as daily networking events. We asked for a list of industry people who will be attending events this year, but haven't received a response yet ESA chief Stanley Pierre-Louis you will definitely be there.
Other benefits include access to the show and nearby E3 Live showrooms with “VIP admission,” as well as discounts on goods, hotel reservation service, and two daily restaurants.
ESA won't say how many tickets are available to the public, or how many Premium badges are set aside, but give us an idea of the type of people who buy the most expensive option.
"We presented the Premium Badge last year for immediate sale," an ESA spokesman said. “Last year, premium badge managers ran the game from E3 residents who were enjoying the quiet option, to young newcomers who wanted to be able to quickly reach the bottom using a service such as concierge service for hotel bookings. Breakfast by Stan and industry executives is an example of VIP planning that was well-attended and popular, as was the reception of the evening's reception. "
