O2 Concerts cameras?

Hi, Ive only seen BJ once at Milton Keynes Bowl, and cant wait to get to the O2 in June.........anyone know if cameras are allowed??? I know they often say not, but I cant work it out on the ticket if its ok or not.......dont want to bother taking it if i cant get it in!

Thanks

VJ

Normall y if the band allow them to they can, the venue dont have a say. Sayin that at a Judas priest gig bout 18 months ago, i was doin some shots with mine and some fat basterd security bloke, tried to wrestle it off me and he ended up gettin twated by a complete stranger, was well funny

I looked this up myself recently and found this response on a Keane forum (!!) :

"I emailed the O2 about the usage of camera's during the gig. I got the following answer:

''Thanks for your email. The general camera policy of the venue is that small digital cameras (under 35mm lens) are allowed but no video, SLR or professional camera equipment will be allowed into the arena. For some events this policy may change at the request of the promoter. If you contact us close to the date of the event and state what event you are attending then we can check what the camera policy is for that particular event.''

You'll be fine.

Yeah Emil's right. With the ticket prices and the rate they're being sold there'll be enough room for a full film crew in the front row at this rate.

My wife managed to get a Fujifilm S9000 past them at the opening gig in 2007. It's a beasty looking 35-300mm camera but doesn't have a detachable lens and I think that's what swung it for us. We did get heavily grilled by them but managed to convince them in the end.

I´m glad I saw this thread. I´ve got 2 tickets for O2 and I´ve been unsure whether it is ok to bring along my pocket camera.

I've always taken a camera

the band includes video cameras in some of the tour packages
take any camera video camera etc. you will be fine.
