Question: Will I make an *** of myself if I demand photo/press pass for festival and show up with small/regular digi cam!?

I will be covering a music festival for a webzine and would like to apply for a Photo AND Press Pass!.

Question/problem is which is more suitable (I am being asked whether I want both) I want to be able to

1!. access press tent and try and get bands to interview!.!.!.do what perss do basically!.
2!. take pics from press pit

Problem three:

Will I make an *** of myself if I demand general press AND PHOTO PASS and show up in press pit with a regular digital camera!? (this is a rock gig not kiddie pop fest!.!.!.

(I did state I was covering event for a webzine and NOT a major publication!.!.!.)

only among the other photographers really!.
i had a photopass for warped tour this summer, and i talked to quite a few people who worked for webzines and only had point and shoot (regular) digital cameras!. as long as you have the credentials from your webzine, you should get in!.

however, it might be different!. it really depends on how strict the PR is for your festival!. make sure you ask WAY ahead of time just in case!


oh, p!.s!. usually a photo pass lets you go wherever the press pass does too, so you dont need to apply for both!. you may want to check on this though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
