'lo all

So I'm going to Manchester Academy 2 tonight to see Thursday and was wondering about taking my camera along. Now I know that in recent years it was a strictly no camera or recording equipment and that was that. But in the last year or so small digital cameras have become a lot more popular.

It says on the tickets..

No professional "type" cameras, video cameras or tape recorders will be allowed in the venue.
So what does that mean? Is a £200 digicam professional, no I don't think so, a £1000 HD Camera is professional I would have thought. So I've just rang the Acedemy so get clarification and all I got was..

No, no cameras at all, not any of any type are allowed.
Ok fine, so thats ok then, but for starters they are not going to take everyone's camera phones off them are they, no. So does professional mean anything which is a camera no matter how expensive / quality, but not a multi function device like a camera phone?

The only thing which really annoys me is that I know tonight if I don't take my camera I'll be stood next to 50+ people all with cameras and they won't get them took off them or get thrown out the gig for using them. But if I do take it I'll be the first to be searched on the way in and lose the damn thing.
