Hi, are you allowed to bring a DSLR camera at the Emirates? has anyone done so as a spectator not some professional photographer?

Sports forum Bazza. He means The Emirates Stadium!
That's not allowed either, taking photographs at all is not permitted. You might get away with it, but they'd still be within their rights to stop you.Ok thanks I will just bring my wife's compact point and shoot. Mods please close thread

You aren't allowed to take them, and that's the end of it. Whether or not stewards at individual clubs are lax is irrelevant, people need to be educated properly on matters like these. We are at these games doing the work of documenting them, the spectactors are there to do just that, spectate (I wish I could join them sometimes!).I've seen numerous DSLRs at premiership grounds as well as point and shoots
It will all be down to stewards in that area as to you being stopped or not
why just pro gear, why not the bloke with a 26x zoom.I hope pros seeing professional gear being used in the crowd report it to the club.

The "real world" would accept that the tog is never going to be selling these images and not really competition for any pros who have the best vantage points to work from.
What's the reason why we can't use dslr in footy games?
Top of this forum, third sticky down!

Edit - I do appreciate that things like camera phones and smallest compact cameras are difficult to police though and can understand if these slip through, so maybe I was being a bit harsh on the OP. However, the fact remains, taking photographs in any Premier League or Football League match is completely forbidden (and you risk losing your camera trying to do so) unless you are properly accredited.
It takes about 4 clicks from the root menu, how easy does it need to be?
Forums->Photography Discussion-> Talk Photography : Speciality Discussion-> Sport -> Stickies.
Really, really not hard.

I did try and soften my stance in the edited bit to expand that perhaps point and shoots are not so much a problem, but rather the more expensive DSLR kit that can deliver better standards. I tried to change my message to simply a warning to the OP that there is a chance a steward might well want to confiscate even the P&S camera, and yes, you are right that my choice of words was clumsy, I apologise for that.What? Seriously? Is the football photography world in such a bad shape that you have to be that worried about people in the crowd with point and shoots? If I went to a football match with some mates and wanted a shot of us there I would take a camera in, and I wouldn't lose it, that just sounds stupid. They could try and confiscate it, but that isn't losing it.
Oh and do understand it isn't "you" who set these rules, but your post just makes you come across as quite insecure and demanding.
It would take you about 3 seconds to navigate to the sticky that's been written exactly for this purpose. On the other hand it would take someone over half an hour to type in the info that you want and check that it's accurate.
Ref the sarcastic android comment: why do you think that in went to the trouble of writing out the path to the thread based on the TP app? Do a bit of your own leg work and stop expecting to be spoon fed.

kelack said:Can we keep it civil. Someone asked a question and phones aren't necessarily all that great sometimes. I know mine isn't. We're supposed to be a friendly forum. I can sometimes have a 3 minute lag on my phone if I'm on train or coach so bear that in mind please.
Simple, its called image rights and protecting them and rules, footy has em F1 doesnt.Ok lads how cone in f1 its fine to take pics? As.the guy above me said. I can take a great pic of Hamilton colliding with someone in silvestone and post it on Flickr too yet f1 ain't fussed about it?
Well said and to the guy who said I cant even use a point and shoot, might as well ban mobile phones too lol. Seriously why is dslr banned in footy games whilst in f1 its perfecting fine? I bet i could use my 70-200mk2 at the Olympics no problem either. What's the reason why we can't use dslr in footy games?
Nikon_Nick said:Hmm update us on this after youve been turned away at the Olympics next year because you got a DSLR with a 70-200 on it!!
You got a link saying no cameras allowed?
Why do you need a link? Surely common sense would tell you that you wouldnt be able to take that kind of kit into a venue. I appreciate that a lot of compact cameras will have greater zooming capabilities than a DSLR with a 70-200mm lens, but it is all about perception at the end of the day.
We are 323 days away from the start of the games next year, and no one has their physical tickets yet. I will guarantee that on the back of the tickets will be conditions of use, which will include rules regarding photography.
If you go along to an Olympic venue next year with the kind of kit you are talking about, you will be turned away.
...and as if by magic....Cheers Duncan
