ugadawg5 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I just got off the phone with Philips Arena, and I told them how Coldplay is encouraging cameras at their concerts, but they said that if I bring a camera to the concert on wednesday, it will be confiscated. So that is a bummer. Unless someone can get DEBS to talk to the people at Philips, looks like I won't be bringing any pictures to the forum. I'm talking to 99x to try to clear this up. I'll let you know what happens. Meanwhile, we need solutions people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugadawg5 Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 I just talked to Dutch from 99x and he said there will be no cameras allowed in Philips Arena. It is a venue-specific policy. So sorry guys. I'm extremely disapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA-D Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 at least take a couple of disposables - they're better than nothing and it doesn't matter too much if they get confiscated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victaniac Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I never get the NO CAMERAS ALLOWED ARGHHH thing that venues slap on as a rule. Doesn't make any sense, especially if the artist in question encourages it. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilchick629 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 i have a solution: stick the device up your ass so when they search you---they wont find anything *gets reminded of a southpark episode where cartman smuggles things into jail by sticking them up his ass* :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 1) camera 2) duct tape 3) your spine take the camera, when you get to the venue, get a friend to duct tape the camera to the middle of your back/spine. if you're a girl, wear a hoodie or baggie shirt you won't mind taking off later.

ugadawg5 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 ya but once the flash goes off the gig is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 the MEN arena is a no camera arena. How many coldplay piccies from loads of different MEN shows are there in the photo album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Exactly, most venues are no camera, it usually says it on the back of the ticket too! They can search your bag, but nowhere else..... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 gig is up? flash goes off? its okay. will will save you. if not will... then guy and johnny will give those mean security people a cold stare, man they'll wish they'd never be stared at again. at the same time chris will start singing its raining men, i'm sure that'll distract the bigger,scarier security heads.

Jess831 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just smuggle it in. If you're in general admission they're not gonna be able to take it off you unless they are willing to search through a sea of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_steph Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Does anyone know about Earls Court's camera policy? I cant remember, havent been to a concert there in a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonnie2789 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 how though? when coldplay come here (after such a long time) i want to take my digital and get some good quality shots - and if i'm paying a ridiculous $120 to see them then i want good photos as a keep sake. but then i'm paranoid that if i take my digital, they'd conviscate it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_steph Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hmmm...its a tricky one. I just looked up info about Earls Court and all it said was 'No video cameras or recording devices allowed' - so would that include digital cameras? Because some of them can record short video clips? :/ I really want to take photo but dont want to risk my digital camera getting confiscated. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess831 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well I took a camera to two concerts where they said no cameras. The security guard came up to us before the show started cause he saw us mucking around with it and said to put it away, but we still took pictures and they didn't do anything. Just be sneaky :P Or do as you're told, just to be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sab Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 ok, i was there last night and pretty much everybody had a camera!! i even saw a girl with a big SLR and a 210 lens at least!! the check point at the entrance was really not intense... i would say for the next concert, you can definitely sneak one in... you should! i wish i had... Please, to those who brought the cameras, post pictures!!! it was amazing!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sab Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 oh, and by the way, i always think that pictures turns out better in concert without the flash. Otherwise, all you see is the head and hands of the people in front of you. Just my opinion. I could not take pictures at last night concert but i took some at the one i went to in France this past july. i posted the link to see them in another thread in the live section. actually, here it is : http://www.coldplayvoixdugaou05.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
