does anybody have a contact with the stones camp they can share?

I am trying to request a photo pass and used a generic contact at AEG.

was hoping for better contact.

I am a pro photographer and now have a unique opportunity but it is now somewhat short Notice.

I can give more details but would prefer to do so via DM.

...looking for an email address.

Some years ago [www.Novagraaf.com] managed the Intellectual Property of the Rolling Stones in behalf of Musidor BV. Maybe Novagraaf can give you a hint how to contact Musidor BV via eMail.

Go via the US press for the Stones. Do some googling.

Go via the US press for the Stones.

Or ask Stones-Photographer Kevin Mazur how to get accredited - [www.KevinMazurPhotography.com] - (Website requires Flash-Player).

I am still having trouble getting a response.

I typically shoot for one of the opening bands and they suggested I go thru the Stones camp.

I have talked to other photographers in a few states who have said the Stones are approving very few passes this time around.

Still have I have sent a few emails and have not received any response. Did the usual follow up as well.

Any email connections would be greatly appreciated.

I can supply samples and links to my work.

Usually photo passes are managed by the local promoters, so I would recommend trying this channel. At least it's how it works in Europe, but I believe it's the same policy in US.

Not quite so anonymous then!

Concertswest is the promoter. Try them?

Concerts West is a subsidiary of AEG Live -- he has already contacted them.

Yes, they are doing very, very few photo passes this go around, and most of the ones that are issued are limited to shooting from FOH sound and not in front of the stage. Another suggestion might be through the team/building that you're aiming to shoot at. They can probably hook you up with whomever is handling credential requests for AEG in your market.

Good luck!

Maybe at a Press-Interview with Production-Manager Dale 'Opie' Skjerseth ....

thanks everyone.

I did hear back and was turned down.

I expected that.

Like asking a girl out...It's ok if she says no...but you want to at least be able ask be able to ask her the question directly!

Have been following this thread and I'm curious - who turned you down? AEG, Local promoters or someone working for the band? Just wondering if there may be some alternative contact to help fulfill your goal.

Laister Dickson used to do PR for the Stones and would have been in charge of issuing press passes etc.

They still act for Ronnie so there's a good chance they still do the Stones too.

Amal, who works with Fran at the Stones PR company, turned me down.

^^
That's a set back, but I wonder if going lower on the food chain as mentioned above (ie the venue itself) might help or if they would also have to go thru Amal to get the pass for you. Anyway, best to exhaust all avenues, no matter how remote, and leave no Stone unturned.
