How to sneak cameras inside - Page 10

For U2 at Wembley, the camera policy was: Small digicams are ok, SLRs with Interchangable lenses were not.

This policy was enforced, so be careful if you plan to smuggle in a large camera.

Also, this was U2's policy. I'm not sure what Coldplay's policy is.

I'd rather hope Coldplay's would be nicer and more liberal than the average band's!

Don't count on it.

Yes, it's not the band who decides, but the security of the stadium

Jenjie · 11-09-2009, 11:35 PM

the venue decide the camera policy. if you check out the t&c's for entry to Wembley on their site, I'm sure it advises about cameras

Liam · 12-09-2009, 09:02 AM

You are not allowed to take any cameras in at all, but with so many people with camera phones, enforcing this would be impossible, i just kept my camera in my pocket so if they did search me (just tapping trousers) it would just feel like a phone

I would advise not taking a big camera!

This is what's written on the tickets

"You shall not bring into (or use within) the Stadium any equipment which is capable of recording or transmitting (by digital or other means) any audio, visual or audio-visual material or any information or data in relation to the Event or any aspect of it, except for mobile phones and small cameras used for personal and private purposes only. Prohibited items may be confiscated. Unauthorised photography or use of recording equipment is prohibited. You assign the future copyright in any photographs, films or recordings that you make at the stadium in breach of this prohibition to the Management".

so that means small camera and camera phones yes, SLR and videocameras no. I have a point and shoot camera which looks more like a SLR, with a big zoom and I had no problem in taking it with me for U2, but of course I had no interchangeable lenses with me, so that may be the reason

marianatsl · 12-09-2009, 11:05 AM

Mine is also a point and shoot but SLR look-alike, though smaller. hopefully I'll have no problems getting it in.

*Perrine* · 12-09-2009, 06:27 PM

I'll probably take this one ... do you think it's okay ?

lafferty23 · 12-09-2009, 06:29 PM

I would say yes. But it depends how big it is....

*Perrine* · 12-09-2009, 08:07 PM

It's quite big, but less than a bridge camera though

tams · 13-09-2009, 11:56 PM

Nikon D60 is SLR Camera, so probably you won't be albe to sneak in with it.
Last year the guard stoped us and we had Canon G9 with us, (It's not SLR, but a bit bigger than regular point and shoot cameras, so probably he took it as pro camera). We explained that it was P&S , he hesitated but still let us in.

Have seen them over a dozen times and taken plenty of photos, as long it is a small digicam you should be fine but you do get some over zealous security who like nothing better than to tell people to stop taking photos so just keep your eyes open !

Cheers and enjoy!
