Good luck...I'm kinda scared, I just don't want to get caught and kicked out

 

One thing is for sure: You won't get kicked out of the concert for taking pictures. However, depending on which camera you use they can ask you to come with the security to give up your camera (it happends when you sneak several thousands of dollars of photo equipment inside ). They will lock it untill the show has ended and then you will get it back. After they asked you to come and give up the camera you will be allowed to see the concert.

 

I got caught about a month ago during a concert of John Fogerty and fully co-operated, talked with the security and chat a bit. My equipment was stored in a locked compartement untill the show finished and I could keep the pictures I have taken during the concert. (but just to be sure I had allready switched the memorycard while they took me apart )

 

If this happends, be friendly to the security and chat a bit, tell them it was a game and you lost, joke about it and fully co-operate. Tell them you don't balme them because they are doing just what they asked to do... And in the end mostly you will be allowed to have your pictures you've taken allready... However, if you are working against them and be mad about getting caught expect your memory card to be erased...

 

Just try it and see it as a small game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

 

 

But mostly as long as you don't use a flash when your on the frontrow and don't take pics with a professional camera he changes are great they just allow it

Thanx very much for the info

[QueenCeline]

Did they allow cameras in Vegas?

[KimboCosmo]

Absolutely not, not in Vegas

 

They were like camera natzis in Vegas

[KimboCosmo]

It depends on the venue and Celine does have a say too. She doesn't seem to care about them.

I really hope they aren't strict here

[QueenCeline]

Thats what I thought. I was watching the DVD and I was like, hey... there are no flashing cameras! WOW, they took all those away. I hope everyone got theirs back

[KimboCosmo]

Well, I brought mine and my video camera, and you just had to check them in going through security, so when the show was over, you just went and picked them back up

 

Some people managed to get them inside, but I'd never try anything, because they DID kick people out that they caught

[celine_rox]

all the other concerts allow cameras

 

and most of the time she doesnt seem to care

 

they should allow cameras, but why not

[Dionesque]

Yeah, Vegas was VERY strict.

 

But during this world tour it's really different from place to place. I can't speak for all venues but about those I went to: usually they checked my bag/small backpack but even if they saw my camera, they didn't cared about it, because it was just a small, simple camera. I'm sure they would have an issue if I would have tried to bring a (semi-)professional camera, you know, those with huge objectives etc.

 

Anyways, I haven't got any problems with getting in my camera but I haven't been using it every time. Amsterdam was the last concert for me where I've been taking pictures. As they usually turned out crap, I stopped trying to take pictures at any other concerts I went to.

 

And sneaking in an audio recorder isn't hard too, as you know from my bootlegs, hehe... ;P

 

I'm curious if it will work the same way in Canada....

[Alex_Incognito]

I hope making my bootlegs won't be so hard in Montreal! It's pretty small---and if I could get it through Barbra Streisand's security, I should be okay!

I certainly hope so, I just love your bootlegs They're fantastic!

[Shamrock_1982]

I doubt camera's will be aloud in boston, as thats were the dvd filming takes place obviously...

I don't think they'd like it leaked onto the web until its released!!!

But I maybe wrong...

 

Darren.

[KimboCosmo]

Whatever happens...I'm going to hold out until I hear other US fans trying to get them in...and just see how it goes with the other shows

There were many camera flashes on the ACDS DVD.

[CellyDee87]

Yeah I'm also wondering what it will be like in the US, I know in Melbourne they were INCREDIBLY strict with cameras, the security was nothing like I've ever seen they were everywhere . Each time they saw a flash, they went up to the person and either removed the camera or asked them to put it in their bag. Nobody in my section (Gold Floor) even tried taking pictures, I was too scared Rene was like a couple of meters away I don't even want to try bringing a camera into LA, I'm not paying that much money to fly over and hear only "I drove all night, to get to you...." and then get whisked out Edited August 6, 2008 at 05:47 AM by Denelle

[KimboCosmo]

Right on Denelle LOL

 

I might, but only after I hear other people's stories

 

I won't be using my flash, though...no need to when she is not right in front of you, anyway.

[marckvls]

Hi people of the forum, I wanna ask you all a question. I wanna take a cam in but its a bit bulky. It won't fit in my pocket, so I was wondering if they make you store your bags or if your allowed to bring bags in the concert.

[celinerific]

My sister's going out of her own way to get a camera into the show. Who ever knew she was so intense? Edited August 15, 2008 at 05:41 AM by celinerific

[lyn]

so, a technical question for those who've used audio recorders. I've decided I want to take away something concrete from my concert experience and am in the market for a recorder, therefore, can anyone recommend one that records well when stuffed and hidden in one's pocket?

[nuts2you]

I also have a digi camera, I was just wondering if I did take pictures can I pu them on here. tracey

[Nmj]

are vdieo camreas allowed b/c at the palace website from michigan it says camreas are aloud

[mkh3482]

I didn't have any problems getting mine in. When I went to the first one, in DC, I didn't bring it because I was afraid it would be checked and lost. Once I saw that EVERYONE had a camera, I brought it for Newark and Atlantic City and just stuffed it down the front of my pants (hey is that a camera in your pants or are you just happy to see me? ) -- the metal detectors didn't pick it up, so I figured I was good to go!

[Nmj]

I want to Take t mine in but i dont know how too, should i put it in my pocket.?

 

I really want to get some pictures but One of my concerts on Friday I have high seats all the way up top. did anyone see her from up top? could i get any decent pictures from there? thanks!

-Nmj

[Libeck528]

Yeah I definitely recommend taking pictures from up top. Some of my best ones came from the last row! HA

Ok little funny secret to get the camera in if they check your bag... I bring a box of female products and put the camera all the way at the bottom... And they have never even gone near the box, so it works! Sorry guys!

[KimboCosmo]

That would be one big box to fit a camera in...

[KimboCosmo]

Unless its a mini one

[Libeck528]

Unless its a mini one

 

 

My camera is average size. So I just put it in one of the boxes that you buy at the store. Lol The security probably thinks I have issues, but whatever at least I go the camera in.

[Koolan]

As I already stated, they don't care if they see a camera. They DO allow it to be used inside....stop worrying about how to hide it. lol, you're not going through an airport terminal.

[Nmj]

Thanks Koolan, but why do they even bother saying no cameras then?
