Wembley's Camera Policy ...

[chewie]

i wanna take my DSLR... but am scared that the boys in bibs will not let me in with it.

shall i run the risk? or make do with a compact/phone?

 

[JamesTheYiddo]

When I went to the U21's some bloke took in a camcorder, It was small tho so :shrug:

We took compact digital cameras (England games), no problems.

 

[EmperorKabir]

realistically, they only check you out briefly, so dump it in a bag full of other crap...bits of paper, a phone, a bottle of tap water to divert the attention away from the camera and onto the bottle itself, etc etc, and you have a chance.

Or phone somebody at Wembley...?

Or phone somebody at Wembley...?

that would be the easy thing to do... chances are ill be on hold for an hour and be transfered to about 100 diff departments via bombay to get the reply

"we dont know".

i read the t&c's on the wembley site...

says all audio/audio visual equipment is banned for copyright reasons...

im suprised they aint banned mobile cameraphones yet!

 

[Teemu]

It's a bit silly really, how can you copyright live football when you're actually there?

 

[joey.leone]

ive taken in my camera a few times, never had a problem. never really thought about it to be honest.

They sell the rights to the photo's so they don't want people undermining that. It's the rights to the images that they wish to protect.

I think things like that have a blanket ban on what they deem 'professional' camera equipment, and by this they usually mean anything with a removable lens... So regardless of the fact that the majority of dslrs are not professional cameras, Wembley would probably consider one to be...

So just take photo's of yourself and your mates they aren't copywrite. Mind you God knows what you will get in the background accidentally
Surely the copywrite ought only to stop you selling your pictures on or has the world truly gone mad?

when i went to the spurs-sr5ena1 game. spurs staff told me i wouldnt be able to use my camera once inside the game. in the event it was fine, i was too busy celebrating to take any photos but i think the rule itself is ridiculous. we've paid for our tickets why cant we take photos to commemmorate the occasion?

Do you even need to ask? :wink:

 

[Chris12345]

Yeah, there will be a blanket ban on "professional" cameras... which to the bibs will mean anything "big"... but as Kabir says, stick it with a bag full of other crap scarf, newspaper etc... and u should be fine...

i'd just take a compact tho...

tbh your not gonna be able to get close enough or bring a big enough lens to take any pictures of the play that'll be half decent (i'm sure they'll be plenty floating around afterwards at hi-res anyway) and photos of you and your mates around Wembley don't really need to be taken on a DSLR...

 

[bigturnip]

I went to the community shield final last year and took my DSLR in, never questioned it once. No way I'm taking it this time though, I'll be concentrating on the football.

Let's have a Wembley Carling Cup Final photograph competition after the game, we can all post our pictures and get up the nose of officialdom.

good call!

ah bollocks to it. im taking mine.

may have the body and the 300mm lense seperate tho. i'll be in the chelsea end tho...:bang:, so plenty of pics of vocal yiddos to follow.

im going dead early if the bibs tell me no at 1pm, then ill have 2hrs to get back to stanmore, dump it in my car and get back for kippers.

 

[Yid-ol]

dont know if its the same donw there as up here, but any camera with a removable lense will normaly be taken off you or one that has a big zoom, due to it being a profesiannal camera apparently, even though new small digital ones can do the same :lol:

if you want to try it, wrap the camera up in some clothes, most likley they will ahve a look in, and maybe give it a squeese and just feel clothes and let you in... or it has worked in the passed

I wont be at Wembley but if I was I would be far too busy watching the game than piddle about taking snaps.
