Mother of Puppies 34,254 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Ok, so I just had a look at my tickets ( I have never ever been to a concert in my life) and it says that we're not allowed to take a bag with us and it also says "no pictures/videos allowed" but everybody films at concerts??! I have to have a small bag with me for my phone, keys, wallet and some other small items? It also says you can only go there when you have left your personal data (do they mean by this that I put my address and name when I bought the tickets?) I'm a bit confused.  And what does that "void" thing mean? Can anyone enlighten me please? (I'm going to DĂŒsseldorf) Call me LADY MOP & I'll mop the floor with you đ§č Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my concert experiences, most concerts say that but they never really enforce it. The only time it was enforced (no phones) was at a Bjork concert because it was a strict direction from her and she was adamant on it. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriane 18,987 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 When they say no phones, do they mean not have one with you or not use it? I'm like you, I haven't been to concerts but I've been to classical music concerts, operas etc, and you can have your phone, you just can't use it. Just like cinemas I guess. As for the data thing, I'm wondering if this is something German because they're obsessed with data use here  Maybe you don't notice as a German, but I find it crazy the number of times you have to sign something relative to data use, protection etc. You popped my heart seams, all my bubble dreams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa 18,569 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 This is all pretty normal for tickets to say, but itâs never actually enforced. Just covers them if they do want to put strict policies in place I guess (like when some shows use those locking phone bags). If a venue isnât allowing phones for real theyâll make it very clear (and I canât imagine Gaga ever doing it, outside those 2 filmed shows with Tony). Iâve never had a problem bringing a small purse or belt bag to a show, they just donât want everyone to have huge bags, because they will look in them at security and it would be a pain to go through everyoneâs backpack. The âvoidâ is just a security feature on the ticket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstertoronto 7,562 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Iâve never noticed the no phones rule but at almost every concert Iâve been to everyoneâs got their phones and the artists actually ask people to use their flashlights to light up the room for slow songs almost every time. The only show Iâve seen with no phones was Madonnaâs Madame X tour where we had to put our phones in little bags that they locked and would only unlock at the end of the show.

tylerjs 4,093 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 There was a period where i was hearing about some artists' shows using these kind of "lock bags" where you put your phone in a bag that locks when you enter the venue and unlocks at the end of the show, so you can keep it with you but not use it at all. I can't remember who it was, for some reason i thought the prominent one i read about was Madonna? But could be totally wrong. Never heard much of their use after that, and Gaga has never been adamant about phones like that really. You know our girl, take my picture, Hollywood đšđșđ§đž monica from rhoslc kinda had a point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 âNo bagsâ normally means nothing over the size of an A4 piece of paper. Â Small bags/purses are normally fine. No pictures/videos allowed is a ban on professional equipment. Â Professional photographers/videographers need a different kind of pass to do so. Â Shooting pics/vids on your phone is allowed.

RAMROD 96,460 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 LOl don't take those liner notes literally. It would only mean you cannot take big bags, and no professional cameras. Or basically no cameras that have extended lenses or can be attached with extra lenses, such as long range lenses. However smartphones & regular pocket camera, even if mirrorless, would be fine. The data thing might mean you might have to show your ID card upon entering the venue. (ïŸâăźâ)ïŸâ§*:ïœ„ïŸ be delulu until it becomes trululu (*ÂŽèžïœ*) âĄâĄâĄ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
