No indoor venue should allow photographs, and it is the Venue - Derby Assembly Rooms which enforces a "no photographs" policy.
We, as the promoter need to adhere to band contracts which typically state "no flash photography will be tolerated". even the main press normally only have the first 3 numbers to photograph - by any band - and this is usually stipulated "without flash", as it is this within an indoor venue which can distract and affect a performers act!
It is normally OK for cameras at outdoor shows for obvious reasons, but Bloodstock at the moment is an indoor festival.
At previous festivals, Cameras have been taken from people upon entry, a ticket given from which they can collect at the end of the show, which will no doubt be repeated this year.
The Bloodstock solution is simply - get all your friends into rock music - get 'em along to the show - sell it out, then the only way to go will be "outside"! Who knows Bloodstock @ Donington anyone!

Or alternitavely just bring a small disposable, keep it in your pants (also a bonus as the increased size of package atracts the ladies!), and take some photos, like loads of people do at every indoor venue they attend.
Not that I would of course!

I think Vince should hire Doro Pesch to strip search all the male members of the rock society to search fopr hidden cameras and weapons.
If this would be the case I'd be in and out of the venue on more than one occasion.

Bloodstock is the only indoor event where I've EVER known a no camera rule to be enforced so strictly(and I've been to loads), and some bands eg. BLAZE actually like fans to take pictures at gigs.
Tho I suppose if the venue and some petty bands are anal about these things there's not too much else you as promoters can do about it. Tho from a fans perspective getting your camera confiscated along with your food and drink when you enter a venue can sour the day.

To be fair to Bloodstock they don't confiscate your camera - you get it
back at the end of the day. It does suck a bit that I can't even take pictures
of me and my mates or at the meet and greet but rules is rules I guess.
