I will say that when I had my camera and I extended the zoom lens and it protruded, the band's security (not the venue's) told me to put it away. I think they thought it was a removable lens camera, which it was NOT.
Anyway, if you take the camera photographed, just be warned that they may hassle you if you zoom out the lens. But if you just point and shoot and it's kind of flat looking, I don't think they care. Even if they say they do beforehand, I bet no one will say anything to you.
But when I have smuggled, I kind of put the camera somewhere on my person, outside of my bag. Like I will stick it in the waistband of my slacks, where it will be covered by my jacket. Since they don't pat you down, they don't notice.

Well, my tickets do say "no cameras" so that's why I'm asking for tips. I have heard it's the band's policy, not the venue's, but I could be wrong about that.
And I am going to be 26 rows back and probably will be taking some video, so I don't think zooming the lens in and out will be a problem for security, but you never know.

Okay, that sounds like a better idea. I've been thinking about the sweater idea because I don't know if the pants thing will work since I'll be wearing jeans and I think the lens protrudes too much (even when it's closed) to allow for safe hiding.
It's just I'll be going in June and the idea of having a sweatshirt on is kinda weird. Maybe I could lie and say it's the air conditioning?
