I took pictures with my phone at the Fall Out Boy concert.
No one took it away or anything.
But it probably depends.

No,it wasn’t illegal to take photos at a concert,because Photographer is like a King without having a Clown.Beware of the items and persons in a concert hall like microphone,singers , reporters,cameras and others,which could drop or fell down on a floor anytimes.

No, its not illegal. However sometimes the artist can request the arena or wherever they’re playing to not allow fans to bring cameras into the concert. From my experience, they do allow cameras, they just don’t allow professional long lens cameras (like the ones the paparazzi use for celebs).

They also don’t always allow people to bring in cameras the can record, but almost all digital cameras and phones do that nowadays so they’ll let you in with it anyway.

If you really want to make sure, just call the place the concert is going to be at tonight.

Have fun and hope this helped!

All good answers so far.

The issue has to do with exclusive agreements that the performers may have with certain publications, promoters and/or photographers.

Allowing unlicensed photographers, with their cameras, into the concert, begs for a lawsuit.

It’s not “illegal” in that it’s not actually a crime - you can’t get arrested for it. However, a lot of venues and/or acts have policies against taking pictures or making sound recordings. Some places will allow you to take photos as long as you use a camera that doesn’t have a flash. A small number of bands will even allow you to make bootleg sound recordings (but they’re in the minority). All of this will be clearly spelled out on big signs, and probably blared over a loudspeaker many times before the concert actually starts. If it’s against policy to take photos and you get caught doing it, they have the right to toss you out of the venue. But first they have to catch you. A lot of times the bouncers will look the other way or just let you off with a warning unless you’re being really bad about it.

Some bands have a ‘no camera’ rule. So, if you take a camera in, the guards at the entrance can refuse you entrance or tell you to take the camera back to your car. Check your ticket or call the venue ahead of time. Also find out what kind of cameras are allowed. Some band’s don’t allow cameras with detachable lenses so ask about that also.

Otherwise, if they allow cameras, bring yours and shoot your heart out. There is nothing wrong with it.

Most have copyright laws that will not allow you to take movies. Most will allow you to take still pictures and some even encourage it. Just be prepared to leave your camera behind if they will not allow any photos. Most likely they will tell you before going in or you can ask to be sure.

depends on who you want to see. ive gone to concerts where the musician doesnt mind you taking pictures, and will even pose in them. other concerts will explicitly say no cameras. Tool is like that and so is skinny puppy. there is no law against it though. so it depends.

It depends on the concert. Most tickets will say No pictures or video right on the ticket. if they are not allowed But some concerts allow pictures to be taken. Your best bet if it doesn’t say on the ticket, would be to call the venue and ask.
