Guess it depends of the venue.
Houston, Cincy and Indy, they almost strip search you.
But, Dallas isn't that bad.
However, Terry did get in my camera at Houston
She's REALLY good

The sign @ Atlanta said no flash, so I though OK. But the guys at the gate said NO camera. I had to get a claim ticket and leave my $500 camera. I was not happy. But more so I was nervou, would it still be there? it was

If you're female...crotch it. I was told by security that they are NOT allowed to frisk the female crotch area. I've managed to get a camera into every show I've gone to with this method.
Some places could care less (Pine Knob, and Chicago) and some will jump all over you (Cincy). I was 4th row in Cincy and they kept taking people's film away
I've also been able to get a camera, tequila and sparklers into a show by hiding them in a backpack purse. I fill the purse with tampons and pads, then go into a line with a guy searching. He gets all embarassed

and I get in with my stuff

Snuck a disposable into Great Woods last year in the top of my straw hat! The gate attendant asked me to lift it up and checked underneath, but didn't think to check in the top of the hat! Pics of Bubba from the 9th row!

Guys, just make sure your bra is at least a D cup.

That works for jello shots too. But where can you buy a coconut bra that's a D cup? I've never been able to find one that big, they're always these little tiny things and you just have boobs hanging out of both sides.
The trick that's always worked best for people I know is to take a windbreaker and put the camera in the sleeve, then hold up the windbreaker by the sleeve.
I actually have pictures taken at Riverbend by the security guard, and one with him- but I was also on the lawn, rather than close up, and we did have the security guard who was throwing beach balls back to us.

Over the summer I put a disposable in my shoe at the more thorough search venues. Never got caught, but I walked kinda funny and my foot was sore after doing it for 3 consecutive shows! I'm not sure if I'm even going to try to smuggle one in for Vegas on Thursday. I know someone will get some shots.

I usually do that with a few beers

At the last show some guy looked at me when my girlfriend handed me my camera she had smuggled in the small of her backt. He said, "Hey, you can't have that, they're illegal in here!"
To which I responded by pulling my beer out of my belt, swigging it, and yelling "SO IS THIS!!!"
Sneak whatever you want in, I've never been caught.

If that is the policy, is it heavily enforced? Or could I get away with having a little disposible camera with me? I dont want to get kicked out of the show over something really stupid/avoidable. Anybo9dy who has dealt with this please advise!!
Thanks!

incidently, Jimmy hates flashbulbs. He says they annoy him. So I guess if your're real close I'd avoid the flash (you prolly won't need it with all the lights anyway).

We snuck sparklers in at Nissan. We did get caught, but they just nicely asked us not to do that anymore (even said please) and that was the end of that. And the worst thing that I've heard of happening is they take whatever it is away.
A few years ago I got caught with about 30 jello shots in my pockets (under a grass skirt)- I thought the security guard would plotz when I just stepped aside and started taking them and handing them to a few other people.
