• Requests for interviews with signing guests may not be considered unless they are received at least 30 days in advance.
• A limited amount of press passes are available per event, and media outlets must submit a new request for each show in order to be considered, unless they have been specifically invited back by a member of the Philly Show leadership.
• Press Passes are reserved for working print or online news organizations that produce and publish original content.
