edited June 2008 in Given To Fly (live)
It's probably been mentioned earlier but I haven't been on the Message Pit in awhile. Can we bring digital cameras , disposable , etc. to the upcoming shows (Camden, MSG, Hartford) ?
What was the policy at the earlier shows (WPB, etc.) ?
Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you !!
Enjoy the Tour !!!!

    I didn't want to lug my camera to the show and be denied entry because of it.

    Be careful with bioculars though. Last time they were in Camden I was not allowed to bring binoculars in, but the camera was fine.

    I wonder what's up with that?

    I called the Camden center to question Pearl Jam's policy on no "professional cameras". The operator said that PJ wants ZERO cameras allowed, not even disposables. I want to try and sneak in my digital, but I dunno. What are you guys doing?

    When I was at Columbia, I went down before the opening act to our seats and took a picture of the stage. This tough event staff guy came up to me and said cameras weren't allowed, and I would be kicked out if he saw me with it again. By the time Kings of Leon started, at least five people in front of me had their camera out, and the guy didn't say a word to any one else the whole show. I still took pictures later on after I saw they weren't doing anything. It hurt being singled out though :(

    I walked in at VA Beach with my small digital camera case in plain site. They didn't care. They didn't even ask to look in the case to see if it was actually a camera. Very relaxed.

    If you're worried about getting a camera confiscated or being turned away, a digital disposable is a good choice. I am paranoid, so I don't bring in cameras, because I don't want to have to go back to my car if I made it to the gate.

    You should be able to bring in non-professional digital cameras. I asked at the 10C ticket window in Tampa to confirm and they said that they were allowed. However, when I was inside, some yahoo security guy told me I could take pics but no video! What's up with that?? Anyone else have that problem?
