If you try to look surreptitious you will just draw attention to yourself. To get away with this you really need to act cool. It's no good trying to hide your equipment either. I suggest you go with something like this:



Maybe also set up a crane and a dolly. You'll look so pro no-one would mistake you for a bootlegger.

LMAO!!!!!

PlanetEarth said:

Well if this is a joke - its funny, gave me a laugh. If not, I am worried for you, hence the questioning of your sanity!!

Orange wallpaper is a brave move...

I am sure the Paisley Police will be keeping your seat warm for your arrival.

I'm in block 111 on the 21st. I can do a couple of dance routines for you for the bonus features if you like?

If Prince isn't planning on releasing this show on DVD then I certainly hope you would get away with it!

Some nights they have emptied my bags and metal detected me, other nights they have just ASKED me if I have a camera & let me walk through.

Why stop with that little 'ole thing? lets go with a big f**k off boom! my mate works as a camera op on Deal or no Deal - I'm sure he'll lend it me, I borrowed his SLR last week.

I'll roll it down for you -

Plus I have another mate who works for O2 in a shop - he has got a couple of O2 fleeces, lets wear them. Job Done. I'll be Tape Op.

I am laughing so hard I am hiccuping, Thank You!

Tinfoil! Fake Mustache! Dance moves!

You have to have a great sense of humour to be a Prince fan!

Do u guys really think I need 2 find a different seat 4 the 21st?

PlanetEarth said:

No, I was in row d and it was awesome. I remember thinking "I wish I had my camcorder" especially when Maya or Nandy slipped over. I could have been £250 better off. Unfortunately my audio digital recording device was not able to pick up this hilarious occurence.

GC79 said:

funniest thing ive read in my short time here!

But yeah, make sure you zoom in espically on the security guards, I hear they like being filmed and interviewed

FunAndJames said:

Thanks FunInJames! I'll do that after the show, if I have enough tape.

onlymatt said:

lol

can safely say o2 divvies sre not reading these threads or they would have improved their services regarding vip and other issues..in fact i doubt they can read...as for recording the show...can i get a copy if ure lucky enough to get away with it mate?

PlanetEarth said:

You have an awesome seat! I was in block 111, row C last Friday and it was fantastic.

GC79 said:

Thanx, u will have 1 boot 2 remember.

djenerate said:

They did that with me. "Do you have a camera?". "Er, no?" "Okay, off you go. Oh and here's your free CD".

Let's be pragmatic here... There's enough clips floating around to show that filming is possible.

If this guy wants to try and film the whole thing in HD from one of the better seats available, then who are we to tell him not to.

I'd certainly have a selfish interest in viewing the resulting footage should he be successful!

That said, I think this has to be a joke!

To ensure maximum success for this cinematic tour de force I would suggest a better way. My friend's mother's aunt's best mate is one of the lighting crew. I can personally arrange (for a small charge including booking fee) for you to take their slot on the night in question. All you need to do is be able to climb a very thin rope ladder and swing a light around whilst you're filming. the vantage point has the advantage of both excellent viewing and 100% guarantee that security will not disturb you.

Yeah, and then there's other nights they blank you completely: On the 18th, I helped myself to 2 CD's from one of the boxes, held them up and said " I've got not bags & I'm taking these" and still got ignored (wish I'd taken the lot, now!)

westv - how much, exactly, are we talking?

KeithyT said:

After receiving orgnotes from a couple of people I have to say that I was only joking about the audio digital recording device and I do not have any bootleg recording of the concert to share. I thought planetearth was also joking about the camcorder thing and was just messing about playing the fool. Seems he is serious after all.
