Some of us discussed at WMCON that a local Wikimedia affiliate can sometimes get press-level access. This is a blog entry about just such an occurrence at Eurovision 2014.

I love the idea of getting press passes to special events, conferences, performances, etc. I wonder if there exists a press pass request form that has been used successfully by other affiliates. I don't know if acquiring a press pass is difficult because it requires certain credentials, if it is as simple as sending an email to the event organizer, or if it just depends on the event and staff... Worth a try!
