Rose City Comic Con welcomes press outlets from Portland and around the world, and we’re happy to provide approved members of the media with complimentary Press Passes. Before you apply, please understand…

Your Press Pass allows complimentary access during all public hours. Your Press Pass does NOT allow early access or special access. Your Press Pass does NOT allow you to cut lines. Your Press Pass does NOT guarantee you seats. Your Press Pass does NOT guarantee you autographs or free autographs from guests. Everyone attending Rose City Comic Con as Press MUST follow all Rose City Comic Con policies– including our anti-harassment rules.

Press Registration is open to journalists making regular editorial contributions only. Editorial Press includes Writers, Reporters, Reviewers, Producers, Photographers, and Cameramen who are attending specifically to cover Rose City Comic Con. Non-Editorial personnel at media companies such as Marketing and Sales staff do not qualify for Press Passes and will not be approved.

Press Passes will not be approved for outlets created with the sole intent of obtaining free admission. If you’ve got a website that hasn’t been updated in six months, a blog that exists only to post your convention reviews, or a YouTube channel with two views you will not be approved. Rose City Comic Con checks every application that is submitted.

Press Passes are non-transferable. You may not loan or sell your Press Pass, and anyone conducting such behavior will have their Press Pass revoked and will be disqualified from Press Passes at future Rose City Comic Con events.

We’ve switched over to a new registration process this year and media will be getting QR Codes! Please apply individually per registrant. If you have five people under one outlet, that means we’ll need one application filled per registrant. Each registrant of the approved media outlet is individually responsible and must have their confirmed QR Code scanned upon picking up their media badge onsite. Proper identification will also need to be showcased upon arrival.

If you’d like to speak with an invited guest, please arrange this through our Press Team prior to the show after your Press Badges have been approved. Interviews with talent cannot be guaranteed at the event. All our guests have approved schedules and on-site requests are very difficult to fulfill.

After reading this page, please click through to the form which follows. Complete this form in its entirety. After Rose City Comic Con receives your application, our Press team will respond within the dates listed below. Please understand that simply submitting does not guarantee you a Press Pass. It is only after your full form is received, reviewed, and approved that a Press Pass will be issued. Incomplete applications will not be approved.

Applications must be submitted by Monday, August 29. After August 29 you will need to apply at the on site Press Desk at Rose City Comic Con.

Rose City Comic Con reserves the right to approve or deny any application. This decision is final and cannot be appealed. Include any and all information in your application that will allow Rose City Comic Con to make an informed decision – you won’t be able to submit further information later on.
