I am going to a concert tommorow and would like to bring my digital camera. I emailed them to ask if this would be ok but didn't give specifics and the woman said it should be ok but she can't guarantee it. I have since emailed again specifying the gig and the camera I have and they have said the promoters say no cameras.
I have heard that there are metal detectors but assume that my camera will be detected. Is there any way to get through? Or if they find it, is it true that they remove the card/confiscate your camera (do they give it back if they do this?)
I have a camera phone but it is useless.
I don't want to end up getting caught and they keep my camera (I don't know if this happens, just going on rumours).
The gig is in the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh if this helps.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that the band is okay with cameras, as they're always fine with it at other venues.
The tickets were through ticketmaster who always say "No photography" but usually I leave mine and then there are lots of people with cameras.

Put it in a bag and throw it over the wall and pick it up at the other side

1) Unless you'd like to risk losing your camera, leave it at home.
2) If all you have is a digicam its unlikely you'll get any photos worth having. All those flashes you've seen going off at other concerts are exposing the backs of the heads of people in front of the person using the camera. If there is an image of the stage its probably too dark and/or blurry to even tell who was performing.
3) Leave your camera at home and enjoy the concert.

You're breaking the rules if you bring in a camera, and you can be fined an awful amount of money and your camera will be taken away from you, and any copies of the photographs. It is a wise idea to leave it at home.
They're greedy for money so they won't let you take a camera in, instead they want you to buy photos of them. People are like that. If it were me, I'd let people take photos. But sadly some people don't like to have their merchandise taken for free. So sorry, no cameras. There is always a chance you won't get caught, but believe me, it's not easy. As soon as there's a flash they will go and find you.

Umm actually probably just put it around your neck and not try sneaking it ... I'm pretty sure they will let you take your camera to a concert and just small gigs they don't even care foreal

At a riskof helping you break the law, use a plastic camera - disposable. Of course you could put your digital in a small handbag.
