I'm writing an article for my college's newspaper and I'm trying to get a press pass. Does anyone know if there is a faq/information page about press passes regarding who qualifies for them and how members of the press are aided? I found an email address for bonnaroo's publicity director, but that's it. Anyone know if/where this exists? And if you don't has anyone done this before? Thanks!
I've not seen him on in a while but he went by the name The Photographer of just Photographer. He had press passes from some tattoo mag. He'd be the person in the know for it. Like I said I've not seen him on in a while. Larry Vasko I think was his name.
Roo does have press passes, but good luck getting them for a college publication. I'll be covering the fest for a free local alt. weekly and they couldn't get passes like they do for SxSW, so we split the cost of a ticket and they're going to cover some of my gas costs.
email the publicity director and start begging. it'll help a lot if you can get an in with one of the band's publicity and get them to help you. did that w/ Coachella two years ago.
Did he have press passes? I thought he was just taking pictures.
He was backstage. I talked to him before one of the sets and I later saw him backstage. I thought he had a press pass. I'll have to do a search. If I remember right it was a thread about tattoos.
Ken Weinstein of big hassle covers most of the publicity for bonnaroo. I write for my college newspaper and I should be in the clear for a pass. Granted I'm Tennessee based, so I don't know how it works for other schools.
I don't know the e-mail offhand, but you can find it on the big hassle website.

Yup -- had some sort of photographer pass. I'm not sure if there are different designations and access levels, but he definitely had some sort of pass. Also, he was a really cool guy.
