How to get Backstage PAss (for press)

[katman]

I've been talking to some magazines in my country to get some U2 content after i comeback from the concert. So they said "get info on how to get backstage passes".

So i'm asking you guys and gals.

Any ideea?

Unless you're a friend or part of the family or a journalist from a major magazine like Rolling Stone, you are not getting backstage. You might get to go to a press conference the band choose to have before the show during soundcheck, but chances are that you are not getting backstage. U2 could not possibly accomodate all journalists going to a show backstage.

I won one backstage passe in a radio station contest
for Alanis Morrissete some years back

Ok, ok, so let's say no backstage.

How about getting permision to photograph?
What do i need for that, besides moving to US and getting myself hired at Rolling Stone?

I got a photo pass years ago, by asking the management. But that was during the Joshua Tree tour and I was part of a fan club at the time. You could try contacting management, but there are certainly no guarantees.
