Access to CRS Sabre/Worldspan/Amadeus, etc.

I read about access to Sabre/Worldspan, etc. for $50/mo in the following thread. Does anyone know how to go about this. I am NOT a travel agent and do not mind not having the ability to ticket as long as I can make reservations and have someone else ticket it. This is more for private fun (expensive I understand) and not for use/misuse.

You can subscribe to Sabre/Worldspan/Amadeus for around $50.00 per month---a steep price to pay. The only thing you will not be able to do is run tickets, a major disadvantage. The two ways around this would be to make yourself a reservation and call the airline to ticket it, or see if a local travel agent would be willing to issue tickets off your "system".

Alternatively, can you work with any major travel agency to be their rep and use their ITA number to make reservations (not ticketing - which I understand you will need to do through them). I once researched this a lot but did not find simple ways (there were all these agencies that charged you a fee and gave you access to reservations - but it was by phone/primitive systmes not CRS).
