Hi, I've got a fairly strange situation...
Got two car loads of regular ticket holders, but one of my friends has a Press Pass and has to get her ticket at Will Call. She is going to camp with us, so how do we get her ticket and all get in together without driving all over the place and waiting all f'ing day?
Hate to be the rainer on the parade but....Press has to go in as GA UNLESS you also purchased A VIP ticket in addition....
And in 2009....I stood in line for almost 2 hours starting at 10 am to get my photo pass.....and if they have the same setup this year it will take a LOOOONG time for your press person to get their credentials......THEN you have to get in the GA line and wait...usually after 1 pm judging by what I had to endure in 2009...

Here's what I would do...
Charge up your cellphones. Have drop your press friend near will call and let them fend for themselves while you enter with everyone's gear (including the press person's) and start setting up camp.
When press person gets their credential they can ride in with anyone or walk. Once on site call each other and tell them where to find you.

last year we made the huge... huge... mistake of not being prepared (mostly because we weren't aware someone had to pick up their will call ticket) for that soul sucking line. 3 hours. it took 3 hours for 1 person to get their ticket. and the line wasn't that long. that place made DMV's look like the poster child for bureaucratic excellence. fo yourself a favor and just tell that person they are going to have to find you. cell phones work well enough there. make a back up plan to meet at the arch on the hour starting at whatever time.
if you want to stay together y'all will have to wait till she gets the Press Pass and then get in line. i've done it the past three years that way with large groups of GA attendees and it worked out well. the wait was a few hours but still not bad.
I've read they're opening the gates on Wednesday night this year for sure, so you might be able to go in and meet up. But that could be quite an adventure and there is no guarantee they will be able to get the car to you.
