Writing a Request That Gets Read
Promoters, label publicists and venue press offices in Paris receive far more accreditation requests than they can approve, especially for festival weekends and sold-out club nights. A request that is short, specific and easy to verify stands a much better chance than a long, general one. The points below go beyond the basic checklist and reflect common practice across the live music industry.
Be precise about what you will produce
Say exactly what the coverage will be: a live review, a photo essay, a short interview or a feature that uses the show as a starting point. Give a realistic publication window, for example within a few days of the concert. Press teams want to know that a pass leads to published work, not just a free ticket.
Separate writer and photographer requests
Photo accreditation is usually handled differently from writing passes. Many venues limit photographers to the first few songs, set rules on flash and position, and sometimes ask for images to be approved by the artist's team. If you plan to shoot, say so clearly, list your equipment if asked, and expect to sign or accept a photo agreement.
Offer links, not attachments
Two or three links to recent, relevant pieces are more useful than a full CV. If your work has appeared in our reviews or features, point to those directly so the press office can see your style and readership.
Follow up politely, and accept a no
Confirmations often arrive late, sometimes on the day itself, because guest lists are finalised at the last minute. One short follow-up is reasonable; repeated messages rarely help. If a request is declined, a courteous reply keeps the door open for the next tour or release.
After the show
Send the published link to the person who approved your pass. It is a simple courtesy, and it builds the kind of working relationship that makes future requests easier. Keep a record of which contacts handle which venues and labels, since press responsibilities in Paris often change between seasons.
