Just about every place I've ever been to see a show enforces the "No camera" policy up until you GET inside with it. once the lights are down, it seems that the security guys dont give a rats ass. I'm still "careful" about it. I look before I snap the shots, but I've never seen anyone get their camera taken away either. All you have to do is get it in the place.
If you are on 24th row, your pics will suck without a zoom. I was on row 21 last year for the first show I saw, which I felt I was pretty close, but the pics turned out like I was on 40th row or something.
