Media and Press Application
Media Terms and Guidelines
When you apply for a Press Pass,
please consider the following:
·
A Press Pass is for professional reporters and
media that provide significant national, local, or genre exposure.
·
If you have covered Phoenix Fan Fusion for a
previous convention, ensure you have provided copies of your coverage in your
application.
·
Your application will be thoroughly vetted, and
it is possible you will be contacted to discuss the nature of your coverage.
·
We may ask you to provide additional
documentation before approval.
You will not qualify for a Press Pass if you are:
·
Bloggers or Podcasters with limited
distribution.
·
Social Media Influencers.
·
Individuals who work in non-reporting roles for
media outlets.
·
Convention photographers not on assignment from
a media outlet.
·
Freelance reporter/photographer not on
assignment from a media outlet.

An individual who had been granted prior year
Press Pass who cannot provide proof of coverage.
·

obtaining free admission.
A PRESS PASS…
·
Does not guarantee interviews with any invited
guests. Please arrange interviews through Press Relations prior to the show and
after your Press Pass has been approved. Interviews with guests cannot be
guaranteed and any on-site requests will be denied. Interview requests made to
guests outside of Fan Fusion Press Relations will be denied and result in the
withdrawal of your Press Pass.
·
Allows complimentary access during all public
hours. It does NOT allow early or special access unless it is prearranged with
our Press Relations team.
·
Does not allow you to cut lines, save seats, or
obtain free autographs or photo ops from guests.
All applications must be received by April 25, 2024. Late applications will
only be considered after all other applications are processed and only if space
allows.
Each outlet need only submit ONE application. If approved, you may receive up
to four (4) media credentials per outlet. Team member, position, and examples
of work for each team member listed on the application are required for
approval.
Applicants must be 18 years or older.
Applying does not guarantee approval for a Press Pass credential. Prior
approval for a previous Phoenix Fan Fusion or Square Egg Entertainment event
does not guarantee approval.
We highly recommend applying as early as possible as Press Badge are limited.
Professional photography, filming, and interviews are not permitted without
approved media credentials. Tripods, monopods, external lighting, "selfie
sticks", and cameras with lenses with a focal length longer than 85mm are
not permitted into the event without a Press Badge.
You will be notified whether you have been granted approval within 4 weeks of
when you submit your application. Further information will be provided in a
confirmation email.
