I'm living in Los Angeles and so I should go. I believe an invitation from a NAMM member, along with $25, gets you a yellow guest badge.
Hall D seems to be the eye of the storm.
My very first time I went, I paid a vendor $25, but this all happened weeks before the show so I could get NAMM confirmation via email. But I don't think it's set-up in such a way that you could befriend a guy with a NAMM badge outside and have him bring you in to pay NAMM for a badge and be allowed in, right? They didn't appear to be prepared to take money when you go to get an official convention badge. NAMM rules are simple: you have to have gotten an email confirmation, and you print up that confirmation in order to go get your badge inside the hall.
