best way to blag a press pass?

[ajmall]

reading festival in the uk has sold out and i want to go but not pay extortionate ebay prices!

the only advice i've been giving on blagging on is to make a fake company/letterhead but it will be hard for this festival.

any other advice? don't forget, i'm a student too but have a couple of contacts in the photography industry who are after one themselves!
