is not just protesting, it is preventing someone else's basic right. So, if
their protest prevented others from gaining access, then it was wrong. You
may not stop people from entering abortion clinics because you think abortion
is wrong. You may not block someone's lawful access to a building because you
disagree with either parties policies.
It is not real complicated. Unless one is trying to rationalize ones actions.

I think the right of people to peacefully protest is a very important
American right.
It seems like these people blocking access to the RNC ticketing office were
well within their rights to protest in such a way.
The fact that they were protesting access to their President may even make
it protected political speech.
So I think the means are perfectly valid, regardless of the ends.
(Violence, threats, etc are not valid means, though.)

Wow. So ends justifies the means?
