We extend complimentary admission for events as a professional courtesy and consider requests on a case-by-case basis, based on media outlets and market through traditional media and social media channels. This courtesy is extended to active, credentialed media members.

Media Pass Policy:

At the discretion of the AOAGWLLC’s communications department, complimentary media tickets may be provided to full-time editorial and news-gathering professionals who cover amusement, business, consumer, entertainment, music, family, food, leisure, news, travel, and online media associated with a news organization or an established social media entity.

Print Media: Editors, owner(s), photographers, publishers, reporters, and writers

Broadcast Media: Assignment editors, assignment managers, news directors, owner(s), photographers, producers, program directors, public affairs directors, station managers, videographers, and “on-air” personnel including anchors, DJs, hosts, reporters, and meteorologists

Freelance Writers who provide confirmation of assignment from the editor of an established/researchable publication. Freelance journalists must provide copies or a link of current articles (published in the past 6 months) with byline and publication date.

Social Media and Online Media: Complimentary admission for social media members, including bloggers and influencers, will be determined by the digital marketing manager on a case-by-case basis. If the social media member is determined to have a valuable reach and follow, they will be regarded as a media member. Please provide applicable handles or outlets, online and social media metrics (unique monthly visitors, and following), and a media kit at the time of the request.

  • Approved requests will receive an email confirmation from the PR department.

  • Media passes/tickets will be available to media on the day of the event.

  • Tickets may not be set up under another name or sent to anyone other than the name provided on the Media Ticket Request form.
