Hanging out at the circle bar to meet show attendees while not paying for your badge yourself isn't cool. Just as much business is done at the circle bar as is on the show floor (moreso I'd say) but if you don't buy a badge you're ripping Internext off. They are the ones responsible for getting everyone in one place after all.

Here is the situation:
You arrive at Internext and are heading to pickup a badge when you stop by the circle bar. You grab a drink, start talking to people and then tell them you have to go get your badge. They tell you not to bother, the show floor is dead, etc... Others all around concur.
Why would you go buy a badge? If you bought it in advance, as many do, then experienced the same thing, why would you buy one the following year?
If everyone is skipping the show floor and hanging out at the Circle Bar, Internext should either fix the problem with their Show Floor OR include the Circle Bar area as part of the show and require a badge to enter its area. Pretty simple IMO.
