I work for a country-western media company and would like to get hold of press passes for an upcoming concert. Now this would be my first one, so what steps should I take to obtain a press pass?
Assuming you're actually a member of the press -- meaning you're going to write or broadcast something about the concert -- your first contact would be the concert promoter. They may be able to arrange press credentials, or they can put you in touch with the band's management. Be aware that having a press pass does not necessarily give you access to the performers. You can ask for an interview, but they're under no obligation to give you one. If you're not a member of the press, but just want to get backstage, you'll have to come up with a pretty convincing reason why you should be there.
the way I have been given mine years in the past replaced into via understanding the bands or artist, they needed me to image them so I that have been given me a press pass. I wasn't lots older than you as quickly as I have been given mine I went to college with Dave Berry who replaced into accepted for a time interior the '60's. Chris
