If I bring a small digital camera will it be confiscated? I would be taking pictures only.....do they frisk down everysingle person?

From what I hear from others who went last year, yes.

only if you don't get caught

My tickets say "No Cameras" on them.

They will take your camera, throw it on the floor, stomp on it, and tell you to have a nice day. Oh wait, that's Tool.

Do take the flash off, please.

What time has Eddie been coming on stage?

Liam Finn goes on at 7:30, so I'm guessing anywhere between 8:30 and 9:00. I think he went on around 8:45-9:00 last summer, but maybe I'm confusing that with the PJ summer tour.

plenty of cameras... esp during the encore

during the show security will ask you to put it away

actually last night before the show some weirdo was downstairs outside the bathrooms taking a picture of a fire extinguisher or something... and security saw him and told him he needed to go check his camera

here's the pic i took with my cell phone - hence the low quality

night 1 albany they let cameras in. people took pics, but less so than last year i found, which was nice.

night 2 albany they turned a 180 and made plenty of people, myself included, take the camera 'back to the car.' They were pretty adament about it and didn't have a good response when i asked them why night 1 was ok. Nevertheless, a minor hassle. If the camera is super small u can prolly just say it's your wallet when they pat you down and they won't go further. cell phones were allowed though and people used them.

it was kinda nice not having my camera though. less to carry and worry about dropping etc etc. lol

If you went to Night 1 in Albany, you could've brought in almost anything. They searched us pretty well, but apparently they allowed you to bring in anything that wasn't a weapon. Management must have been talked to after night 1.

I will say, that the security folks were super nice on night 1. Did not go to night 2 (Fuck that drive). The searched you down (at least we were), but they were not dicks about it. I did not bring a camera. Plenty of people had them though.

Night 2 security was still a joke. I barely got patted down then asked "Is that your camera or phone?" Could have easily brought a cam in if I wanted. Or a number of recording items, I imagine. Small venues are very variable, though.

both shows in Philly there was no searching. People were overtly taking photos and people were on their cell phones working their 'apps' or whatever without harassment.

The Pit had a hard time getting a setlist relay. Apparently, they're cracking down on cell phone texting. What the hell kind of sense does that make?

Security was constantly roving the aisles, shining lights on people all throughout both Baltimore shows to shun people from using any electronic device. I understand they're just doing what they've been told, but it absolutely sucked to be so into the music and then have a bright light flashed in your eyes because someone in your vicinity was wondering what time it was and had to check their phone.

Vedder requested all of this.... NO media photographers were allowed for any of the shows either.

I am starting to wonder about this guy.

Do you have anything to back up this statement?

I wanted to pull this over into PJ Chat b/c I think this policy in Baltimore of telling people they can't text is serious bullshit. I had a good candidate for tweeting the setlist in Memphis and he's had to decline because of fear that he might be thrown out.

Seriously? People can't tell their friends about your show? That's like anti-promotion.

Maybe someone can shed some light on what purpose this crackdown serves.
