On the subject of backstage passes.

One thing backstage passes are not sold at the box office or thru an online
place like Ticketmaster. You either have to be working with the band or the
concert or know someone personally that is connected to the band or concert…

There are FOUR WAYS to get a backstage pass. From somebody that posted this information here on Yahoo Answers in the past. That is really knowledgeable
on this subject & some editing of my NYC experience on this.

1)
You must KNOW someone connected with the band or tour, more like a relative that works for the band/concert/promoters. Or, if you are lucky have a friend or a neighbor that has a relative that works for the band or the promoters directly. Or somebody you personally knows that
works for the band or promoters directly that has these connections.

2)
Be a news reporter. You would have to be one connected to your local newspaper or local TV/radio news team. Also, people that are internet news bloggers very rarely get these unless they are very well know in the news industry. I have seen a few teens that get a website
and claim they are a news blogger (that just don’t cut it).
Also, the news people can’t just show up with their news crew and be let in backstage. They have to arrange this in advance. Especially these days.

3)
A local radio station will sometime have a backstage pass or two of the concert and offer it as a promotional prize.
Either you have to be the 7th or 10th or 12th caller.
Or hope that the entry form you filled out gets picked out by the radio DJ or whoever they have in a random drawing.

4)
Sometimes a person will have one and will sell it on EBAY online auction or Craigslist and EXPECT to pay REALLY BIG DOLLARS (like hundreds or thousands) for one.
You have to be careful when buying these from these websites. Some people I have seen that show up at a concert and pay $300.00 and more on one only to learn the backstage pass they bought is nothing but a laminated fake that security can easily spot.
Some of these backstage passes have bar codes or security strips on them, depending on the agents and promoters.
On some concerts the promoters will give a backstage pass to a person. Sometime these backstage passes are not transferable. If the person is not the name on the ID code on this backstage pass they could be in some trouble.

Those are the ONLY WAY you will get a backstage pass legally.

Thank the Lord for the copy & past option on IExplorer so I don’t have to type the above information again when people ask this question.

Here what it says about getting a photo pass from the main warped tour site:
http://www.vanswarpedtour.com/warpedtour/news.asp?xid=16522&id=1653973

„Ooooooh photo passes. Photo passes are reserved for media outlets. You need to be working for a legit music company, publication, website, etc that actively and successfully covers music events and has some sort of an established distribution. Photo passes are not granted to those trying to build a portfolio or who do photography as a hobby. If you do professional free-lancing, be sure to include clients you have worked with and who you intend to shoot for this year. All media inquires should look to our contact page on WarpedTour.com“

On the subject of getting backstage passes to any concert such as, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, One Direction, etc. Backstage passes are not sold at, or through the box office. These are only available to people connected with the concert like stage crew, roadies, relatives to the stage crew/performers/promoters. Many think these can be gotten at the box office, or directly through an online sales sources, you can not, it’s who you know to get one.

There are only four way you can get a backstage pass. This came from someone who posted this information, here on Yahoo Answers in the past, who is knowledgeable on this subject.

1. You must know someone connected with the band or tour, more like a relative that works for the band/concert/promoters. Or, if you are lucky have a friend or a neighbor that has a relative that works for the band or the promoters directly. Or somebody you personally knows that works for the band or promoters directly that has these connections. That is the best, quicker and easiest way to get them like you stated in your question.

2. Be a news reporter. You would have to be one connected to your local newspaper, or local TV/radio news team. Also, people that are internet news bloggers very rarely get these unless they are very well know in the news industry. I have seen a few teens that get a website and claim they are a news blogger (that won’t cut it). Also, the news people can’t just show up with their news crew, equipment, and be let in backstage. They have to arrange this in advance.

3. A local radio station will sometime have a backstage pass or two of the concert and offer it as a promotional prize. Either you have to be the specified caller, or hope that the entry form you filled out gets picked by the DJ or whoever they have doing the random drawing.

4. Sometimes a person will have one and will sell it on Ebay online auction, or Craigslist, and up can expect to pay big money (like hundreds, or thousands) for one. You have to be careful when buying these from these websites. Some people show up at a concert, and pay three hundred dollars, or more on one only to learn the backstage pass they bought is nothing but a laminated fake that security can be easily spotted. Some of these backstage passes have bar codes, or security strips on them, depending on the agents/promoters. On some concerts the promoters will give a backstage pass to a person. Sometime these backstage passes are not transferable. If the person is not the name on the ID code on this backstage pass, they could be in some trouble.

If I recall correctly, igotbackstagepasses.com has been reviewed by the BBB, and was rated negatively in the past. Outfits like them have been around a long time, in one form or another for decades. To many people are afraid of being made look foolish to report scammers like that, and this is how they remain in business. So those are the only ways that you will be get a backstage pass legally.

Congrats on getting the pass.

If you have a valid photo pass, you can bring as many cameras as you want and as many accessory lenses as you want. That does NOT mean you have backstage or all access preiveldeges, but often times you do.

Make sure you bring plenty of batteries and sd cards. Having 2 cameras is NOT always an advantage. It tires you faster and if you are not experienced you’ll reach with the one with the wrong focal length or iso set up. My recomendation is if you carry two cary one mid zoom and one tele zoom. Use the same iso set up. Make sure you have your „shutter speed“ set to minimize camera shake.

Bring a water bottle and make sure you go to the bathroom about 10 mins before each act comes on (20 mins if you are not in the photo pit). If you leave your place, it’s hard to get back into it.

I’ve been to warped 3 times, but never photo creds, but I’ve shot plenty of other concerts.
Have fun!

Call ahead, ask if your credentials allow you to park in „media parking“ and allow you food and bathroom preiveledges.
