I've not been able to find out either. Let everyone know if you find out anything.

I have a very strong feeling that this particular concert is going to have very strict regulations due to the fact that it's being filmed, etc. I think under usual circumstances, fans have gotten away with taking photos and as long as it's not professional looking equipment or flash photography, some fans have gotten some very nice photos.
Think I'll check into it also . . .

cool, let us know.
Last few concerts i noticed a few people managed to take some great photos at the O2. I ended up leaving my DSLR in a locker.
I got a ticket for the soundcheck and even for that - they were very strict about using a DLSR - even though is got a shorter zoom than most pocket cameras.

.
I may just take a pocket camera in case.

Any news about cameras? I was able to take my camera into the concert in Verona, but not Mannheim. Security walked me to the coat check, and I had to check my camera in there. They said it was because it had a flash. The funny thing is so does my cellphone and they didn't take that, so I got great pics on that instead of the camera. It was a bit unusual to have my camera stored at coat check though. They tried to blame it on Peter and his rules, but why would he be okay with cameras in one place, but not the other? With Hammersmith who knows?!

I think that small cameras will probably be ok. Have a look at

I would imagine that as it is being filmed cameras will not be permitted so best to leave yours at home

Probably more strict rules for the concert they are filming, I know last May at the soundcheck, everyone in the orchastra had cameras and videos, so they made an "offical anoucement saying that camera were allowed and they were taking that clause out of the contract! I made my huband walk a half mikle back to the hotel to get the camera, lucky for us, got some great pics and memories. :-]

At the o2 they refused cameras other than pocket ones or phone cameras.

it would be refreshing to see no cameras at a concert?

There are already videos on youtube from the show on the 23rd. In the videos you can see people with cameras. I didn't see any flashes though so perhaps 'no flash photography' is the rule. Also, they looked to be point and shoot cameras or cell phones.
