Is it possible 2 bring my HD camcorder 2 the show on the 21st Sept. I have heard that no flash photos r allowed, but I just want 2 film the entire show and not interrupt the performance.

If it may cause a problem, I may have to result to bringing my black coat 2 put over my shoulders and on top of the camcorder.

This has to be a wind up right?

thats fine with me. please post the results here. I'll host the full thing at HD quality if you like

I think you might find that the black coat will be more effective if placed over your head.

R u in2 photography then?

PlanetEarth said:

Err, more like Planet Mars mate....

i don't understand.

it's forbidden: period.

You're right, it does say no flash photography. Nothing about Video recording the whole thing.

The jokes on Prince now

lol.

well dont blame anyone if your camera gets taken away or you get kicked out. ha

So is it or isn't it allowed?

PlanetEarth said:

Be sure to send the main man a copy afterwards and have a HOUSEQUAKE.COM logo pasted over it...

It says the concert must not be recorded on the screens in the arena

it says no camera's or recording devices are permitted into the arena. it seemed clearer than last time i was there. the O2 seemed keener on security last night compared to august 3rd.

PlanetEarth said:

You can be pretty certain it's not allowed.

Thanks so much 4 all of ur advice on here. It looks like I'll have 2 bring my black coat.

I will b in block 111 row 4 and I have heard I can capture most of the stage from there.

PlanetEarth said:

Hehe - I'm pretty sure this is a wind up! But, if not, certainly don't expect to get away with it - people have been challenged just for sending a text, nevermind trying to film. And security has just got hotter and hotter with each concert.

Nevermind the fact that you've just made yourself an easy target - I mean, you're not going to be hard to find now are you? Block 111, row 4, with a black coat over the shoulders! And, unless you have some sort of micro HD cam thats easily concealed, they may well take it off you at the entrance anyway.

Oh no, do u mean the people from the o2 r going through these threads?

The O2 crew are scanning all email, texts and forums of anyone that has bought a ticket. the best thing you can do is tinfoil your whole house, cut the electricity and wear a false moustache. its working for me.... wait, someone is coming up my stai...

Indeed - they may even conduct a pre-emptive strike and come round your house to nick your camcorder

PlanetEarth said:

security have mentioned certain things to me that they read online, and the paisley police most certainly do

I am rolling around on the floor here laughing from u guys. I have 2 compose myself here, as u're just 2 funny.

As if the o2 guys look at this web forum.

PlanetEarth said:

You mean, you think they DON'T??!!

This is the most heavily surveillanced country in the world (FACT! We have more CCTV cameras per head in this country that anywhere!) and its common practice for police, venue owners and event organisers to check out any public forums to get a gist of what may be happening.

It doesn't take a lot of effort, time or money to emply a bod to sit and read this all day and any other forums besides. Even Prince seems to have reacted to some of the reactions displayed on the web. So, I would say you're being incredibly naieve if you think that O2 security haven't got this base covered.

And having just had a cursory glance at other threads you have started in your brief existance here, I can see it is you who has the sense of humour

Me or Planet Earth?

PlanetEarth said:

Have you get ADD???? Eh... he has a problem with people taking photos at the main show and aftershow - any snipbits of live records on youtube are pulled, errrr, sure what do you think?????

WHAT A STUPID QUESTION!!!!

PlanetEarth said:

well as i mentioned before, they most definately are looking online. the paisley police have been doing that all the time, it's unusual for venue staff to do so, but there was a specific event that happened at the start of the tour thats making them check the fan sites, plus other things. one of the o2 security actually said to me, you know they said XYZ about us online, as he wasn't happy about some of the comments which were a bit unjustified and OTT, but i just explained that posters are usually OTT, joking, drunk or bored, or a mixture of the lot when they post online, and then when i got back online i deleted all the bad things i had said about them

What a wonderful human being u r

PlanetEarth said:

Block 111, row 4?! You'll be able to tell him to smile for you! He's practically at eye level when he walks to your side of the stage! Ask him to strike a pose...and make sure you get some good close ups of Marva and the twinz...
