Is there a trade show only badge at the door? I don't play too many games these days, but I really enjoy the trade show. I'd love to be able to take a drive down to indy for the day to take a look around on that Saturday or Sunday. The $70 badge fee just to get into the trade show seems a bit too much tho.

No, that type of badge doesn't exist. However, it's only $15 for a Sunday badge and the exhibit hall will be open from 10am-4pm on Sunday.
