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.

Well first of all, I'd feel guilty as hell. I think alot of work goes into each Internext show and to show up and not even drop a couple o'hundred for a badge would make me feel pretty bad. Plus also since I flew all the way out to Vegas, I would be wasting my time and money if I didn't buy a badge. I don't know, but I see lots of value. The badge gets me onto the show floor where I can see what's new with exhibitors. I get to shop and / or sell and make new contacts. I also get to attend the seminars and of course the parties. To me, 2-3 days of open access is worth the money.
