When I received my tickets it was quite a shock for me!
I wanna know whethet you are planning to take your cameras with you or not.

Can you tell me how it was in the concert at Stade de France in 1999, because on the DVD we can see many flashes in the audience. Was it also forbidden??

i guess camera phone is fine.... ??? some models are as good as digi cam.......

[Alex_Incognito]

It says that on nearly every ticket in the world.  Just don't be obvious about it.  We need everyone to create some media from every show.

So, wouldn't that be wrong if I'll take my camera with me?????
Do they really check if you have a cam with you or not??? To tell you the truth I can't believe being in Celine's concert for the first time in life and not being able to take any photo   It's horrible!

There are ways to hide your camera

In the Beyonce Experience concert, too, they didn't allow cameras etc but that didn't stop me or so many others to get some sort of media into the concert. Besides, the famous Beyonce fall is quite evident that cameras are indeed taken inside concerts.

You just to figure out ways to take them with you. And if you have a camera phone with atleast 5 MP camera and 5X zoom, that is enough to get decent pictures if you aren't able to take your camera in with you.

[pol]

Well, I thought about taking a normal digital camera with me, actually a little bit too big camera, just take a look, it's something near like that:



Would that be ok???????

That's probably a bit large to bring in.  Smaller cameras would perhaps be easier.

[Koolan]

Are there any venues that do allow cameras?

I see many use their cellphone to record without any issues. On Shakira's "Oral Fixation" tour, they allowed cameras...

[anewdayhascome]

so how hide them?

[Alex_Incognito]

Wear pants.  If you have a smaller camera, you can fit it in your pocket easily.
I believe most American stades have more strict camera rules than Europe.

Just remember, some marvelous  bootleg videos have been made of FULL shows, and cameras weren't allowed there either.

[pol]

So I see I will have to ask my friends, and look for a smaller cam....


All in all, I think I'm gonna try to bring my "big" camera in with me. Are there any punishments that you know about????????

Well I'm taking a digi camera and a sound recorder either way and believe me, they'll need to search me in places they really won't want to go if they're gonna find them.....

Interesting I must say
Do you think it will work??

Maybe I'll try it too

I've recorded concerts by Barbra Streisand, Avril Lavigne, and Britney Spears without any problem.  I hid it in a place where I didn't think they'd search.

I also had to go through metal detectors, but was okay.

[neilg]

Oh, I have a camera on my phone, but it's not very good.  I have a proper film-camera, but it's fairly big - if I hide it in my trousers, it'll be sooo obvious, and it'll look like... ummm... I'll just stick out from the crowd!  

I really want to take a camera though!  I'm going with my sister, and once she's been, then I would have been to a Céline concert with every member of my family, which will be really special to me.     I want to have a photo of me and my sister at the show, and I don't want anything to stop me.

[Jacqui]

So we can take camera phones in then? I can't not take my phone, I need my phone LOL. They wouldn't confiscate that, would they?

What's that place, then??

Do you think there will be any kinda metal detectors in Berlin, Waldbuhne?

During her 1999 stop in Munich people were allowed to bring in cameras.

[Celine AJ]

I will be bringing my medium sized digital camera with me...the only problem is this time I will be in the front section...so it might be a lil' more difficult.

However when I saw Cher and Bete Midler (Bette also at Acer like Celine) there was the no camera rule...however a little into the show....the camera came out, and I got some OK shots...I also did the same for Cher...

Kylie, Westlife, Robbie Williams and Hilary Duff allowed cameras in Australia...fingers crossed...........I will at least try and get one decent shot.........after spending so so much money!!!

But when I saw Celine in Vegas in September last year she said something funny..."you know when you are a fan of someone people want to take your pictures...so I was wondering why when I sang I could see no flashes in the audience.....she then made the funny faces of clicking sounds from a camera...I thought it must have been becasue everyone wanted to forget my horrible blonde hair, but I asked why and it was because of all the dancers etc... and there is alot happening on the stage so it was an OHS issue. I understand but I am frustrated"...basically saying she understands her fans want to take pcitures.......

[anewdayhascome]

if you don't want to write THAT  place here PM me:)

[venezia7]

I need to try a find a way of hiding my camera because im asuming melbourne will have a no camera rule. so do metal detectors detect digi cameras? if all else fails i will just have to use my phone.

[fa_na_tic]

I'm very interested in this too! This will be my first Celine concert and I'll be damned if I'm not going to have pics of it!
My digi cam is medium sized, I'll have to find a place to hide it so that they can't find it.

[Shamrock_1982]

I'm taking my digi camera as well, its fair enough not allowing cameras to a vegas show, but its taking the p*ss not to allow them into a world tour!!

I got great seats, and trust me I'll come back with good photos and hopefully some good footage! lol

[pol]

What kinds of punishment are possible????

[sangstar]

well for the o2, it clearly says no cameras allowed, by my mate went to see linkin park there last week, and he took pics on his phone, but then he's got a nice Sony ericcson 3 mega pixel camera phone.

but evening seating and view wise, because celines stage will be in the center, looks like everyone will be ok. my friend said for linkin park the stage wa at he end but the view was good.

[destin139]

i will be taking my digi cam and my phone whether they like it or not!! i didnt know there was a no camera rule at the 02 but i was there in January to see Spice Girls and i took photos and videos galore and my camera was quite obvious as i was walking around outside taking pics of everything and no one said anything!!!    
  

[Tal]

guys, most concerts have a note on the ticket saying not to take pictures.  but everyone does it!  i just 'hid' my camera on the bottom of my purse and covered it with papers and stuff.  ive snuck a camera into several shows at madison square garden including madonna, coldplay, and u2 and have taken pics and video.  when i saw josh groban last year i was in the center section, 4th row and i took pics and video.  just try and be discreet about it.

if they do catch you, they'll just take your camera away and you'll have to pic it up after the show.

[CelineRox]

I have a 5 megapixel camera on my mobile and planning to take photos!  
Do you think she gets annoyed with all the flashes going off?! Is that why they don't allow cameras?
Or is it incase people try to sell them?

Well, I have no idea why it is so... yeah, maybe they just don't want us to sell them in any way...
It's obvious that everybody will be taking photos just for themselves!

[sangstar]

init, taking pictures is all part of reliving the memory!!

im gonna borrow my brother in law's 3mega pixel sony ericsson for the concert, but will take the digi cam aswell, hide it at the bottom of the bag like someone suggested!

also here's a pic my mate took from the linkin park concert at o2 arena, he was sitting in the upper tier, but if you can imagine the stage in the middle, you can see it should be a good view for everyone.

left and right of pic are the lower tiers, pic is taken from upper tier, and where everyone is standing obviosly floor where seating will go.
