100 % of requests arrive with the press card attached — because the upload is a required field

Accreditation chaos before every festival

Casual emails without credentials

"I hereby request accreditation for your festival" — no press card, no outlet, no assignment. Your team replies, waits, reminds. Three emails per request; with hundreds of requests, a full-time job.

Who is press, who just wants in?

Without structured details on outlet, reach and publication commitment, it is hard to tell who will report and who wants a free ticket. Wrong calls cost spots in the limited photo pit.

The Excel list as bottleneck

Every email is copied into a spreadsheet by hand — typos in names, lost attachments, no record of who has been confirmed. Right before the festival, nobody knows what is current.

How accreditation runs with a system

  1. 1

    Publish the accreditation form

    Name, outlet, role (text/photo/video), assignment or story idea, reach figures, press card as a required upload. Conditional logic additionally asks photographers about photo-pit needs and equipment.

  2. 2

    Journalists submit everything in one step

    One link on your press page, mobile-friendly, required fields prevent gaps. Anyone without their press card to hand saves a draft and finishes later — without your team having to chase.

  3. 3

    Your press team decides on one data basis

    All requests structured in one place: outlet, reach, card scan side by side. Email notifications announce each new request; an export builds the accreditation list for the entrance and the press office.

Built for press office and photo pit

Press card upload

Card scan as a required field — no request without credentials, no chase-up email.

Conditional logic by role

Photographers see photo-pit questions, TV crews the tech questions — text journalists neither.

Draft saving

Press card not to hand? Pause the request and complete it via the same link.

Email notifications

Every request reaches the press team instantly — nothing slips through in the final sprint.

Controllable deadline

Simply unpublish the form at the accreditation deadline — no latecomer debates.

GDPR & hosted in Germany

Card scans are sensitive documents — they sit on German servers, with a DPA.

Questions from the press office

Why not keep doing accreditation by email?
Email does not scale: every request has a different shape, credentials are missing, and your team copies everything into a list by hand. A form enforces completeness via required fields — press card included — and delivers structured data. Three emails per request become zero; your team only decides.
Are we even allowed to collect press card scans?
Yes — verifying press status is a legitimate purpose for accreditation. Important: state the purpose in your privacy notice and delete the scans after the event. Questee hosts uploads in Germany, transfers encrypted and provides the Art. 28 GDPR DPA — scans do not circulate as email attachments.
How do we cleanly distinguish photo, text and video?
With a "role" choice question and conditional logic behind it: photographers answer photo-pit slot and lens questions, video crews tripod and transmission questions, text journalists just the basics. Each department gets exactly the details that entrance and stage crew need.
Can we ask for reach figures without seeming rude?
Yes — in a form the question feels factual rather than suspicious, because everyone answers it equally. Proven: outlet type as a choice (print, online, blog, podcast, social), rough reach ranges instead of exact figures, and a field for links to previous coverage. That objectifies allocating scarce spots.
How do we confirm or decline?
The decision stays with your team: export the requests, review, then send confirmations or declines from your mail system. Via webhook you can also push requests into a ticketing or CRM board and track status there. Questee handles the capture — you keep the communication.
What about requests after the deadline?
You unpublish the form on the cut-off date — the link then shows a notice page instead of the form. That elegantly ends the "any chance still?" emails: there is simply no channel left for late requests. For waitlist cases you can reactivate the form at any time.
Does this replace an accreditation system with badge printing?
No — deliberately not. Questee captures requests completely and in structure; badge printing and entrance scanning stay with your existing setup (the accreditation list comes as an export). For festivals and cultural events that is the economical solution — big systems only pay off at top-league scale.
