My advice, seriously, I didnt see anyone getting their camera taken away but my advice would be we are all P fams we all know how he feels on this subject, why not just go, enjoy the gig and not have to worry about getting that perfect shot! If you want some pics of P then the gallery on this site has loads or why not just google some.

Please don't take them to the Aftershow... he will walk!!!

Prince has made it quite clear that's the way he feels

- hence only 1 song on Saturday (cameras) and hours of fun last night (real fans, no drunks and no cameras)

I agree you have two choices take your camera and get a perfect shot of him while he's onstage for 2 mins or leave it behind and enjoy him alllll night long.

camera's are easy to get in
depending on where you're sat in relation to the "security" people, it should be easy to get a few half decent shots to help you remember the nite

aftershow...sounds a different proposition altogether...a mate was at last nites, and said "security" were hot.

obviously if you do take a camera don't mention it on here, as the "prince can do no wrong and we all have to do exactly what he says" brigade ( )will hang you...or call you a name...or threaten you with violence (even tho they don't know you)

even tho he left the stage because of someone with professional recording equipment & not because someone took a photo (if yr referring to saturdays aftershow)

Its not about that at all your missing the point, its about respect, some of us has it and some of us dont

Seems a bit unfair on everybody else for him to walk. If he doesn't like it why not just eject the guilty party?

i'm not trying to be provocative, just amazes me that prince will pioneer & embrace modern technology (internet music sales) when it'suits him, but spits out his dummy when it doesn't.

digital cameras / cameraphones are here to stay, and will only get smaller, or better quality. he needs to get over it

I have no problem with an artist / band requesting "no flash photography", I think that's only fair & proper...and may make the fuckwits who insist on using their flash (or lame camerphone light) realise they can get a photo without it.

I must admit I have a split opinion about camera usage,I have some great pics and footage from U2 in Vienna 2005, but on the other side of the coin, you end up missing loads and never really getting into it. I think i will leave my phone in my pocket for this one and let someone else do the work

Brought mine with my, got it in and never took it out. I was not going to ruin this night by doing something foolish like taking a photo.... I agree with an earlier post, it does also distract u from the performance.

I took Binoculars! Got called a "geek" by my GF, but seeing as I wa sitting in the gods and seeing Prince is the chance of a lifetime(depending on your circurmsatnces etc) I didnt care and revelled in seeing him and the band (SShhh drumming was spot on) do their thing.

I have been going to gigs for years and it seems a shame that more so at the front, there is a permanent see of camera phones. Long gone are the days of a good mosh pit!(well for the older artists anyhow!)

you will be carefully watched by security if on floor area..i brought my digi cam to take pics of me and my friend at the venue alone..
