All requests for credentials and passes must be made in writing, on company letterhead, at least 48 hours in advance to the Fairplex Communications and Public Relations Dept., P.O. Box 2250, Pomona, CA 91769, (909) 865-4262. Fax: (909) 629-2067. Credential applications are available by writing or calling.

Media Entrance
Media representatives must present bar-coded Fair media credentials or regular tickets for scanning at any public gate.

Media Parking
