Fantasy Flight, for example, has a huge space, both in the dealer hall and in their Con rooms. I *think* in the dealer hall, it's meant to be demos, but the Con room is made up of regular games that you need tickets for. What I do usually is register for a couple of games I really want demos for, then also purchase a couple generic tickets on site. Show up to the games I registered for, and maybe show up to one or two and see if they fill up. If they don't, you can use generic tickets.Note - the above is only for GenCon games. There are a couple areas designated OPEN GAMING where you can just show up and play games. Some EnWorld/Circvs people have stopped buying badges even, because they pretty much only play the EnWorld/Circvs games or stick to the open gaming areas. I've heard that sometimes Con-workers are sent around to the Open Gaming to see if you have a badge though. That's kind of wonky. Anyway, it ends up being a mixed grab bag of gaming.</blockquote>
