Hey all I was looking at credentials on ebay, course none of them are up to date but I found this site: http://www.globalmediamagazine.com/mian_pages/product_line.html
It seemed promising about how it said "Freedomm of the press, and talks about the ammendments and such. I do know how ever that each event has it's own credentials (such as a Roger Waters Concert). But as small events such as local High School sporting events, will these work? I highly doubt so myself. Though I found this ( i know the laughs keep coming lol) http://www.nles.com/store/catalog/Press_Photographer_ID_Card-p-226.html I currently a free lance photographer, and would this work since I would be working for people such as for other photographers? I also highly doubt. I dont know, what do you guys think of these? No I really dont plan to get in the NFL games with these ( in a way I was lmao jk ) but small events like I said football, basketball, track, plays, concerts.
thanks.

Man, talk about something with built-in profit margin.

The fact that they're selling them on eBay really tells me all I need to know about them. Credentials, which are accepted at sporting events, concerts, etc., are hard to come by for a reason.

Hell, I've got a color printer and a good imagination. I can come up with something that looks better than those...

Basically what they are selling you is an ID. "Credentials" are issued by either the event organizer or the event venue. Unless you want a good looking ID, save your money.

Not worth the plastic they are laminated with. Sorry.

I can't believe that anyone would even mildly consider these.

A fool and his money are easily separated. They must be finding some to keep their site up.

Whatever happened to doing the hard yards.. Working your way up from local games, county games, national games.. If you're good enough and the right people like your work.. Then you shouldn't have too much of an issue.

You've posted a similar thread in the past and the advice was the same. You need to stop trying to buy credentials and earn them the legitimate way. By working for them.
