Media Credentials

It is the Balloon Fiesta’s policy to provide media credentials to employees of established media organizations, and to freelance reporters or photographers on assignment for such organizations.  

It is not our policy to credential those who wish to cover the event for private commercial purposes, to media with private circulation (e.g., a trade union newspaper), or to media with a very limited audience.  

Qualified media may apply for credentials in person from Balloon Fiesta staff starting Friday, October 6, at the Balloon Fiesta Media Tent, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.    

Media may also apply for credentials at the Media Tent during Balloon Fiesta from 6 a.m. – 10 a.m. daily and 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. during evening events.   

Parking and admission fees ($10 parking per vehicle, $6 single admission) to reach the Media Tent after October 6 will not be reimbursed.

 

One of the following MUST be presented for credential consideration:

 

  • Original letter of assignment from your news director, assignment editor, publisher, or producer
  • I.D. from a major market, accredited media organization or association
  • Valid photo I.D. is required for media tent access and all AIBF sponsored media activities
