I have my own photograhy website, so I call the event organisers and ask what their procedureis. They usually tell me, andI go though that procedure, I just say I'm Karl from Fubar Houe. Easy done :)

The promoters won't complain cause I get good shots and lots of them :D

EDIT:

so I went to Google and entered "press credentials"

Near the top was IFPO ... anyone a member? Legit? Seems like you become a member and you can get press credentials. Are they any good?? Also noticed if you enroll in NYIP you also get press credentials.

How does one get them from local newspapers?

The IFPO is known as the "International Fraudulent Photographer's Organization" among legitimate photojournalists. The only purpose they serve is to separate the gullible from his money and make money for IFPO.

Some times, it's who you know and how you act. I wanted to shoot a superbike race. I was turned down at the front gate for a media pass so I went to the "media office" and was again refused, until I expalined that I drove 4hrs to shoot for a friend that was racing. When I mentioned his name and number, and offered to go get him to verify it, they gave me the pass which I put in my pocket but not once did I have to show it. I acted like I belonged and there were not any questions.
