Q: How do I apply for a Press Badge? A: Please review the Press Badge qualifications information on this page and submit a Press Pass Registration form. You will receive a response via e-mail. How many Press Badges per publication? The official limit is four per publication. The Press Relations Manager must approve all exceptions. Q: What is your Press photography and video policy on Concerts and Live Performances? A: Only pre-approved members of the press will be allowed to take photos/videotape from pre-designated areas of a concert or live performance. Photography is limited to the first three songs of each performance and only from the area between the barricades and the stage. Video coverage is limited to one minute. This policy is not inclusive to all concerts and performances and is subject to change depending upon each respective artists' arrangement with the Press Office. In other words, there may be a separate policy specific only to a particular concert or performance. Members of the press may be notified of any policy changes prior to each concert or performance. Q: How do I obtain preferred or assigned seating for special events? A: Seating is limited, so please sign up in the Press Room for these events at least two hours before the event is to take place, arrive early, and show your badge at the door. Seating requests submitted after the two hour limit may not be honored, and seating is not guaranteed. Q: How do I interview a Guest of Honor? A: Press will be offered preferred seating and access during combined fan and press panels. Some Guests of Honor (GoH) may also be available for private press conferences. Press members are encouraged to ask questions, but also share the time with other press members and fans. Members of the press are absolutely NOT allowed to bring guests into GoH interviews. If you would like to conduct a one-on-one interview with a GoH, please contact the Press Relations Manager for consideration. You MUST provide your own interpreter for private interviews. Q: Where can I access archived press releases and media kits for PMX and the Guests of Honor? A: Contact the Press Relations Manager. Q: How do I obtain additional information AFTER the convention? A: Pacific Media Expo will be sending out a post-convention press release. This will include convention highlights, attendance numbers and any other related news. Additional images may be available for download on the PMX Press web page. Q: What and where is the Press Office? A: The Press Office is where all the Press business is done. This is the place where members of the press register, pick up their badges and press kits, request seating for special events and find out interview schedules for our Guests of Honor. All special requests by the press should be submitted via the Press Office. The Press Office is located in the Programming Operations room. Q: What is the difference between Press Badge Approval and having a Press Badge? A: A confirmation e-mail will not get you into the convention. You must pick up a physical badge at the Press Office. All members of the press must wear their badges at all times if conducting press-related business during the event. Q: How long does a Press Badge approval take? A: Press Badge approvals typically take 14 days. If you do not hear back from us, please follow up with the Press Relations Manager. Q: Why might my Press Badge be revoked? A: - Bothering a Guest of Honor.
- Requesting autographs or sketches outside the normal autograph sessions.
- Bringing non-press guests to interviews or special events.
- Unprofessional and/or inappropriate behavior.
- Violation of any policy set forth by the Press Office and Pacific Media Expo.
Note: The Press Manager and Pacific Media Expo retain the right to revoke any badge at any time for any reason whatsoever.
