MEDIA ACCREDTITATION

All members of the press/media need to complete the following Media Accreditation Form in order to gain access to the site and launch field. Passes will then be allocated and are required from Monday 6 August.

Accreditation requests will be reviewed in July and access bands, car parking passes and flights will be allocated in late July.

If you are requesting accreditation for broadcast purposes (TV, video or radio) please get in touch with the press team to discuss your requirements.

If you are a freelance photography please clearly state if you are commissioned or not. We only have 50 spaces available for freelancer photographers who have not been commissioned and will allocate these spaces on a first come, first serve basis.
