It depends on what you bring, anything that it's obvious you can take a lens off is seen as "professional" (you may get away with one of the micro fouthirds style of camera. . . ) Oh and whatever you do do not use flash and you will probably go un noticed. . .

For all the Coldplay gigs on this tour any camera that can be described as a 'professional' camera is banned without a photopass (permission has to requested through their PR, and a 'rights grab' form signed, handing over all your copyright to Coldplay etc').

What they class as a 'professional' camera is anyones guess, but usually means you'll be searched on the way into the ground and not allowed to take a DSLR into the ground.

Looking at this theres a complete ban on taking any type of camera in, and they obviously take it very seriously

I have a season ticket and I can confirm that you cant take any sort of "professional" looking camera into the ground. I get away with it as I take it at the same gate and have made a "friend" of the gate steward. I always put a short 50mm lens on it so that doesnt look so special and then sneak a longer lens elsewhere in the bag.

then during the match I grab the odd picture but Im not that bothered in shooting sport stuff anymore so its been a while. The stewards are usually watching the match so u can sneak a pic.

It will be slightly different at a concert...the stewards will be less interested in coldplay...but then they also wont be moaning about our defending

The normal rules at football grounds is that you are not allowed to take camera's in. The best thing to do is to call or email the clubs mediau manager as they will be in charge of all media cover including photography

I'll assume from your post that you'll just be in the audience and shooting from in the audience?

Realistically at these events there will be loads of people taking photos with their phones and compacts, and realistically they'll all be getting crappy photos as they are too far away and its too dark, plus all the crowds in the way.

If you try to use anything that looks like professional camera equipment, then expect to get it taken from you on the way in or you won't be allowed in.


Maybe I'll see you there? I'll be at the front in the press pit.
Which is where you need to be if you want to get professional photos.
And I'm looking forward to shooting Coldplay

Paul.

Im an Arsenal season ticket holder and they are strict on everything . They will tell you that cameras and recording equipment are prohibited but everyone takes photos there without any problem . They dont want big commercial photographers there without permission which is usual . So long as your obviously not doing something big for commercial use you should be fine .

Well, just as an update, it turned out there were several dslr's on display, I didnt take mine in the end, speaking to 4 of the stewards seperately, none said they'd bother to upset anyone in the crowd with a camera unless expressly told to 9which hadn't happened) but would say something during a fottie game.

Interestingly, the bands website doesnt have pictures from friday night, they weren't impressed with the quality.....
