would it be allowed at a concert venue?

Yes. A real 'professional' camera would be an SLR. More expensive, bigger, heavier, with more capabilities, interchangeable lenses, etc.
This is a very nice camera, though, with some wonderful capabilities, and you can take some great pictures with it.
I believe this category of camera is called 'prosumer', meaning somewhere between 'professional' and 'consumer'.
You might also look at the Canon S3 IS or S4 IS. Very similar models with 12x zoom and image stabilization. And I just have more faith in Canon than I do in Kodak.
(I have an S2 IS. Image stabilization is a WONDERFUL feature! It has helped me take some amazing pictures in low-light situations or at long zooms.)

I'd hate to be the one with a paid ticket stuck arguing with an usher that my camera is non-professional when it looks like that. You could say, "No self-respecting professional would be caught dead using a camera with a 1/2.5" sensor to shoot a concert," but I'm not sure that would hold any water with the kid. If that doesn't work, you could try, "Aw, c'mon man. It's a KODAK for crying out loud!"
It's really a judgement call. Just don't zoom the lens out if they ask you to see how it works. Otherwise, I guess it's smaller than a typical "professional" camera.
Be ready to take your camera back and lock it in the car, though.

Olympus are going/went bust and they're camera's are really cheap at the moment and are used by professionals they're really good. Not too sure about prices but just go on their website as have a look.

Read the back of your ticket. If it says "NO CAMERAS" it means just that. You can try to smuggle it in BUT - if you get caught you may lose your camera permanently.
I took my then 15 yr. old daughter and a camera to a ZZ Top concert yrs. ago. To get it in, I put it in the bottom of her "bag purse" and had her put her makeup and wallet and diary on top of the camera and lens. I then had her place a few "feminine items" on the very top. I looked for the youngest male ticket-taker. He recoiled quickly when he saw those "items" and never searched the bag. (hehe) I managed to get some pretty good photos too. She is 33 now, an RN, and has 4 children. This story still embarasses her :)

I guess the additional detail comes out late.
Just want to chime in and say that Dr. Sam is absolutely right on this one. It could looks like a professional camera to some kid who happen to be the usher there so I guess the best bet is to get a backup compact camera that can fit into your pocket. I guess the picture will be sucky, but it's better than nothing.

Mr Knowitall knows most of the answers, his choice of cameras is good.
But the point is are you happy with your camera?
Are you pleased with your photos?
If not read your manual and study other peoples photos and compare yours with them and Enjoy
