Question

I'm front row at a concert Monday night. No cameras allowed. How can I pull off getting pictures besides cell?

Answer 1

Buy a cheap used film camera. Many can be bought off eBay for $10 (see link).  Load it with 400 speed film. If you get caught and they take the camera, you are only out a few bucks. A disposable won't be as good, because of the lower light (compared to a sunny day for which disposables are designed).

Since you need it by Monday, ebay may not work. Try a local camera store or Keh.com (second link ).

Turn off the flash at the concert. It won't help your photos.

Answer 2

try using SPY cameras...they are the little ones you see in the movies....try googling spy hardware and that should lead you in the right direction

Answer 3

so are you really asking us to help you break the law?

hmmmm.... you could always ask the venue for a photo pass. they often let photogs snap all the pics they want during the first 3 songs.

Answer 4

Ummm Take the camera anyway?

it's in the night right?

people are going to be jumping all around you right?

how can the police see you ?

Answer 5

I would just use your cell phone.

If you are not allowed cameras and caught with them by security (even if you can get the camera through security when they bag check), they will remove you from the concert, and delete your photos from the camera. Then chuck you out of the concert.

I almost got chucked out of a Weird Al concert in Phoenix with my camera gear, until they found out I was a guest of Weird Al and his Drummer John "Bermuda" Swartz. Security had come very close to damaging my camera.

Chances are you will still get pretty good shots with just your cell phone. Don't take the chance with an expensive digital.
