Taking photos, videos and audio at the show?

[Chula]

Can we take photos in the last song? I know we cannot do it in first songs, but what if the last one by a cell phone? Will police arrest me?

[Tyler1991]

I plan on smuggling my camera in and bootlegging it...anyone have advice on how to do this? I don't care if I have to hide it in my underwear, lol...how firmly do they check you?

[Deathstriker]

Taking photos by raising your camera may DISTRACT you from the show.

CONCENTRATE ON CELINE'S MUSIC, AND ENJOY YOURSELF.

Put your full heart into where it belongs, YOU'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.

well probably they won't let u though, but for opening nite surely there will be like media taking pics for sure

[Jacqui]

I always wondered about that... it seems a little unfair that after spending thousands of dollars to travel overseas to see a show, and hundreds on the tickets... you're not even allowed to take photos?? Why??

Because in Vegas you are seeing a show in a theatre - not a concert in a big arena. I don't think this new show will be any different. The audience on the AND DVD are very civilised and respectful, not spoiling it for others by taking pictures and jumping up and down screaming. It makes sense to have to have these rules in a smaller venue like the Colosseum where there's only 4000 people as opposed to 20,000+ in a concert.

 

But it doesn't stop people from recording the concert. I look forward to hearing the bootlegs! I wonder if she will record new playbacks? I hope she doesn't use the TCWT DVD recordings as she'll have to re-record everything again for the new Vegas DVD, so things will looked dubbed again and we'll have no audience noise! It will be much better if she records everything before Vegas starts, then the DVD will contain the vocals that are actually featured in the show...

It will be harder to capture photos, videos, audio recordings but not impossible. Personally, Im not even going to try unless they say photos are allowed. I doubt that though. For Cher, we got to sneak in a couple of pics from the 5th row Wouldnt dare to try again tho.

[Celine Fan 77]

Actually, there are some videos recorded from the A new day... audience in youtube.

[Bralo20]

AFAIK it will not be allowed to take pictures, make video or audiorecordings during the shows. This was also the case with the AND shows and this won't be different. Expect to be searched at the entrance, so if you are going to smuggle a camera inside be sure that it's a small one. Cell phones are also not allowed inside and will probably need to be stored before entering the show (you get a receipt and later you can collect it).

 

However... At the premiere of the show there will be press attending the show also, so you can expect pictures after the show from official media.

[maceta_biloxi]

Well actually I bought this video camera for that purpose http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=P2009HD2

I have to pick it up today and start doing test how exactly this little thingy works and the resolution of the video and quality of the sound. I think for a bootleg it will be just fine.

Also, it can be a safety issue as well. If there are hundreds of flashes going off during the show, the dancers and all on the stage could be at risk with the low lighting. It's a more "refined and classy" show than her tour concerts.

who knows, they've learned from the last dvd

[idroveallnight]

Cameras will definitely not be allowed in. It's not just a trend with Celine's show but the same rule applied with Elton John, Bette Midler, and Cher's shows. And they will search you like a bomb-sniffing dog. I remember after being cleared by security at one of the shows I was just about to hand my ticket to one of the ushers to scan when all of a sudden one of the security guards ran right behind me, tapped my left coat pocket, and asked me what was inside. Luckily it was a handkerchief and I looked at him like a jerk for the manner he approached me. So proceed with extreme caution. I had planned to bring my voice recorder and pocket cam as well but when I heard they were kicking out people caught with any recording media I decided it was not worth it.

 

On the 2nd to last night of AND, I have to say it was funny as hell when just about everyone pulled out their cameras and started taking pictures when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were escorted in. So much for security. I guess they win some and lose some.

I think small devices they won't recognize as media recorders, for example they won't take away your iphone or camera phone. The problem is if you try to sneak in a regular photo camera or a video camera. Flashes are a big no-no during the show, so if anyone tries to record the show do it without a flash, sound recorders as long as they are small you can always hide it in your cellphone case, and make sure is not 100% made of metal because it will turn on the detector. I means there are limits. You can even buy on of those sunglasses with video camera that they won't see it as a thread to the artist's security, in this case Celine.

Back in 2006 I wasn't allowed entrance with a Nokia 6230 with a 1.3mpix camera so if they have still the same rules I think you'll have to leave your cellphone at the entrance.

I remember that when I attended the show, they allow me to have my cellphone (i didn't take any pic though), and the guy next to me had one of those touch-in screen cellphones and he was taking pics and everything and we were in 4th row center and no one said anything to him. I guess is a chance you have to take...

That looks pretty cool. Did you test it? Any good?

 

I had a bag with a false bottom that I snuck a camera in with but was too chicken to take pics

They saw my cell phone in my bag but did not take it.

 

At one of the shows I had someone in front of me with his cell phone on and texting or something. The light was very annoying. Please don't do that to other audience members.

 

Just remember that if you try to take pictures you risk being thrown out by "securityyyyyy"

So don't come here and complain afterwards coz I will just say "I told you so"

[Kristinaz]

I wish we could but I'm kinda glad since it'll be the first time I can actually fully enjoy a show.

[volleyceline]

So they allowed pictures and videos to be taken on her Taking Chances world tour? But they aren't going to allow it in the Colosseum? I agree.. it's a bit unfair, but then again, it's a huge distraction to others. I would say, as long as there's no flash photography!

The show in the Colosseum isn't a "concert". It is more elegant and reserved...way different than the world tour where people are dancing, jumping up screaming and flashing pics right and left! You'll understand once you get there, and see what it's like...flash photography could be harmful to her and others involved in the show.

Oh thanks! Haha I get it now I'm hoping to get my tickets soon!

[MirandaSophie]

WOW, I'm very glad you guys are here. i am going to Vegas with my partner, but seeing Celine on my own so was thinking I'd take my phone then call him after to meet me. I guess we'll have to arrange beforehand...I was hoping to record a little bit of the show too... damn!!

[Cheerfuljane]

They did let most people take their phones in.

 

You should take it with you anyway.

There is only a slight possibilty that they would take your phone away and if they did then you would get it back right after the show.

You get a ticket with a number and go collect it at the box office after.

it works perfectly, i just have to figure out where to put it, if i can't i think i will buy the glasses with a little video camera, i don't know, there is still time to figure that out, lol

Yes, cameras with flashes are a big NO-NO in the show (not concert)... cellphone lights are very annoying, so if you take pictures with a camera make sure to use the view thing and not the screen of the camera...

[volleyceline]

My dad gave me this voice recorder, and it works great! It's nice and small too...

 

 

The things we will do to record celine!

[Cheerfuljane]

I know I have one in the shape of a pen and a camera in the shape of a lighter

[volleyceline]

Where the hell did you get recorders like that?! :lmao1:

 

 

"Don't mind me.. I'm just going to write with this pen while Celine sings..."

Yip... it's a real pen too.

 

I got it on eBay. I think I searched for spy equipment or something
