With a little luck I'll be present at the Madrid concert!!!
I want to ask you: is it allowed to do pics at their concerts? What digital camera do you recommend? how many megapixels... minimum zoom, etc.

In most all shows in Europe, cameras are allowed. In the USA you have to sneak your camera in with you.

I didn't have to sneak my cam in when they played here, in Minneapolis.

I walked in and the security came towards me to for a security check. At that point I proceeded to lift my arm up and asked "do you mind if I bring this in?" motioning to the camera I had concealed under my jacket and the guy responded, "Oh, sure... I don't see why not"

The first time I'd ever tried to sneak a camera to a show...

From the sixth row, I snapped off 293 photos at (size 2048x1536) and was only abale to record one minute of 'It's A Sin'

Though they sure didn't check in Seattle.

Even Madonna in the Spring in San Jose hardly searched for cameras--I was surprised. I think with cam phones, etc, they're starting to give up

No because I have been to shows in the UK and no problem with taking picture there. But then I made a trip to see their show in Austin and the security checked everyone for cameras and they had a sign saying NO CAMERAS ARE ALLOWED. Plus the David Gilmour look alike security in front was taking cameras away that he saw. I only snuck mine in because I went in near the end and security just did not check me.

In Sweden they don´t check the cameras. I´ve seen the Boys there live twice. In Berlin the checked the cameras but I had my bag so full of stuff that they didn´t find it.

have you used the flash light? I heard that this is not allowed in any circumstances.
