This was COMPLETELY unintentional but still a hilarious loophole.

I wanted to cosplay Lois Lane at a local con. I printed up a Daily Planet press badge with a picture of the actress who played Lois Lane in the Smallville TV show. I copied Lois's outfit in the Superman animated series and had a friend with me dressed as Jimmy Olson. We went around "interviewing" cosplayers as a bit which got a lot of chuckles and we met some cool folks. Some DC comics cosplayers even tracked us down to get pictures.

However, completely by accident, we walked past a panel room with a sign that said "press only". A bored staff member was by the door. When he say us, he waved us in! We were giggling but decided f**k it, let's go.

The panel room was where the con guests/celebrities were answering press questions and promoting upcoming projects before doing meet and greets and the like. We ended up spending most of the day in that room listening to Peter Dinklage, Alan Tudyk, and a bunch of other people chat about what they were currently working on. We didn't ask any questions because we didn't want to get caught but it was a lot of fun!! Would do again.
