Thank you! I don't know if I'm gonna apply.. let's see what the next couple of months bring. If I turn out to become more of a reporter/interviewer, then yes. Which is something that might actually happen. Plus, I would love to spend my life travelling from event to event, LOL!
Such a press card doesn't give you free tickets to the events, though, does it? It almost sounds like it... ;)
Oh yes, traveling from one event to the next sounds really like a good plan :-))
Usually the press card gives you free access, so it replaces a regular ticket. Yet, most of the time you need to register/apply first and then the event organizers confirm your participation - or not (since the no. of participants is always limited).
Obviously, the bigger the media's name you're representing, the higher the chances to get on the list :-)
With my upcoming trip to Bali in mind, I've contacted the WSL (World Surf League) now in order to know if I need to officially register before the championships, or if I can just pass with my press card + ID in hands. Let's see what they reply :-)
Ah, got it! Spannend, ich drück die Daumen! :)
