IDG has announced the prices for tickets to the general-public friendly E3 replacement, E for All. As expected, advance registration will save you a bit of money. It's not exactly what you'd call "cheap" to get in, but it's not as crazy as I expected it to be. Here's the breakdown:
Advance registration:
- Thursday/Friday $45
- Saturday/Sunday $65
- Four-day pass $90
On-site registration:
- Thursday/Friday $50
- Saturday/Sunday $75
- Four-day pass $110
Not exactly family-friendly pricing, but a hundred bucks for four days on the show floor isn't ungodly, either. You have plenty of time to save up, though, as tickets don't go on sale until June. So, who's going, and when do you want to meet up for coffee?
