Festival Accreditation

Coming to the festival this January?

The Celtic Connections Press Office accredits around 450 journalists, reviewers and broadcasters every year. If you intend to cover the festival this year for any media organisation, you will need a Celtic Connections media pass.

Why apply for a Celtic Connections Media Pass?

A Celtic Connections media pass allows you to apply for press tickets and also entitles you to access the Press Office throughout the festival. The Press Office will be open from noon until 10pm every day of the festival and is based in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

How do I apply for accreditation?

You can apply for accreditation on-line.

How do I apply for press tickets to concerts?

Once accredited you will be sent a ticket request form. Please fill this in and return it to the Press Office at your earliest convenience. Ticket request forms still have to be completed even if you have a media pass. Due to the limited number of press tickets available at each venue (there are a maximum of eight per event) the Press Office will only be able to issue one ticket per publication / media. Your press ticket request form will make it easier and quicker for us to process your ticket requests - but please send them to us at least 48 hours before the concert you wish to attend.
