contact sponsor programs, and tell them to blast out an email to their affiliates.
they are given a special promo code for each sponsor. the affiliate signs up. their badge will say AFFILIATE on it in place of company name.. so incase a non-affiliate gets the code (ie. a vendor), they might sneak in that approach, but then their company name won't be there. and when you see the scratched out company name, then you know what they did.
because the signup code was specific per sponsor, you know which sponsor was connecting with their affiliates.
give some kind of discount, free badges for every X number of affiliates that signed up, etc so that the sponsor gets something out of helping to advertise for the show.
allow models/talent to get in for free. the show needs more eye candy for the affiliates who remember, are like glorified surfers (except the real biz minded ones of course)
