i applied for a freeticket/press pass saying i work for a music website , and they accepted me. all it says is "have valid ID".. mentions nothing about proving my credentials. what yall think? should i make a fake pass or lanyard for my website as well?

Actually having or working for a website would be the first step in messing it up.

Where the hell would he find something like that?

A Press/website/magazine/journal/whatever ID. Press generally has badges identifying who they represent.

They aren't going to scan your Driver's License

[unbreakable]

the valid ID is just to prove my identity as the name on the list ... isnt that so?.. and then they give me the tour press pass?

Could be that, but you should try to find out. I've seen press wearing badges at events before.

Why do you want to get backstage? Having family and friends in the music biz I've gotten to go backstage at a few festivals and unless you are a chick that wants the D from a pasty musician or roadie there's really nothing exciting going on, just a bunch of musicians, mostly dudes, sitting in trailers, watching TV and complaining about the food.

tbh i just wanted the free ticket ... 65$ normally.. but getting in free means pretending im a press guy

Do you seriously think writers have some special laminated press ID card that gets scanned at events?

Are you fuc[COLOR="Black"]k[/COLOR]ing retarded? Clearly you have never been to a festival or conference. They don't scan it you autist, it IDENTIFIES which paper/magazine/site you represent. Damn special ed kids running wild on ISH these days

My best friend has worked for several music magazines and is currently the music director for AMI.

He almost always has to provide some form of corporate identification and proof; especially at a top tier festival, and as his frequent +1 I almost always wait in the general admission for him to get his quotes and take pics.

I would be very surprised some kid could email the Warped tour and just get all access without any form of corporate identification or email correspondence from higher ups at his company.

This is a random music festival, not the Kennedy assassination numb-nuts. They are just asking for photo ID, not some super special secret press ID that grants access. They've already approved him as press.

That's how these things work. They check your credentials before hand. You don't have to bring your portfolio.
