FAQ's

How will I know if I have been granted a Media Pass?
We aim to get in touch with applicants regarding whether you have been successful once your application has been received. 

If I get given a Media Pass do I still have to buy a ticket?
No, you do not. A Media Pass provides you with entry to the event for the entirety of the event’s public opening hours.

When to Media Pass applications close?
The deadline for applications is two weeks prior to any of our events, any applications received past that date will not be considered.

How do I get my Media Pass?
There are two ways of obtaining your Media Pass. The first is picking it up from the event during our setup hours - these will be advised once your application has been approved. If you are unable to make it to the venue during setup we can courier your pass to you. Please note this is at a cost of $15.00 NZD. Passes can be picked up during the event under special circumstances, but it is preferred you pick up your pass on set up day.

Each person attending must apply for a Media Pass individually. Media Passes are limited in quantity and assigned at our discretion. If you have not qualified for one you will not be permitted to acquire one from another organisation. No Media Passes will be granted on-site.

Who do I direct media-related questions to?
If you have any media-related questions or you'd like to get in touch to organise interviews/content, please email the communications manager at comms@beyondrealitymedia.com

PLEASE NOTE: Kohika Creative is the only Official Cosplay Photographer endorsed by Armageddon, aside from the occasional guest photographer that will have a limited time on the Cosplay Photo Wall, and we do not encourage any paid photo shoots inside any of our events. Our goal is to allow for full accessibility for anyone to have professional photos taken on the Photo Wall for free.
