Grant - just get hooked up with a paper.

From their website:
PHOTOGRAPHERS ON ASSIGNMENT:
Everyone interested in taking photos at ACLMF must be on assignment and must complete the official application form. All applications are carefully screened.

Try to find a small band on the bill that "needs" a "staff" photographer. Find a well established entertainment publication online (blogs even) that you could cover the event for. Or call up the local freebee periodicals and see if they haven't already gotten coverage for the event; it's still a ways away after all.

I will be attending but won't bring gear along. Unless I had a pass, to me it wouldn't be worth it lugging my gear around and trying to get a shot. It's a very crowded place. Just not the right place to try and shoot without access to the stage and other areas besides the crowd.
