Press accreditation

[ryanjohnbutcher]

Just a quick one.

I've been successful in getting press passes for some of the big festivals over the years - Bestival, Leeds and Reading, V, etc, but never tried with Glastonbury because I didn't want to "risk it".

Unfortunately I missed out in the first round of tickets this year so now I'm kinda freaking out a bit with the resales coming up. Thought I'd try and give press accreditation a go - I work for a newspaper writing music stuff, and a couple of blogs and stuff as well.

I've tried e-mailing the press office on [email protected] a few times now and not had any response.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice, or has done it successfully in the past?

Cheers,

The people who have covered Glastonbury Festival for eFestivals over the years have always bought their own tickets.

Who are you getting accredited with? Or are you 'freelance'?

Well, I'd love to purchase a ticket. I'm not just trying to get out of paying. I'm just panicking because I missed the first wave and never tried going through the resales anymore. Guess I'm trying to come up with a back-up plan.

I write for a couple of local rags and subsequent website: readership of around 300,000.
