Most of us take pictures so that we have a memory of that special night. We all know that it is over far too soon and many of us re-live the experience by looking at our pictures. This is really sad for the fans who don’t abuse the no video policy. Why can’t they make a video available of the concert you attend? I would be willing to pay for a video of the concert so that I can watch it to re-live the experience. He has a camera crew already there filming…just a thought. This way the fans still get what they want…a memory that can be watched over and over without violating his contractual obligations with his label.

This is very upsetting and disappointing. My friend and I save all year so that we can go to Kenny’s concert and now the privilege of taking photos is taken away from us.
I agree with Niki…they should offer video of the concert to relive the experience.
If Kenny feels he needs to do this, can we bring our old 35mm or disposable cameras that can not record video???
Kenny is not the only artist that is performing at his concerts, so we can’t take pics of the other acts that paid for.
I truly hope this will be reconsidered.

I think Kenny should hire his own personal security team to sweep the crowd for video recording before Kenny makes his entrance and keep sweeping throughout the show. If you’re caught with a recorded video you are kicked out and the camera is kept by the staff, they erase the video and mail the camera to the owner and they have to pay a fine. I finally got a 4th row floor ticket for the June 20th show and paid $400 for my Canon digital with the intent of taking several photos. I’m still attending the show but nowhere near as excited now as I was only 2 days ago. Normally it’s the other fans that make me cry, now it’s Kenny’s fault I’m crying.

“”One of our forum members even said that he was so flustered by one fan filming during “I Go Back” that he had trouble staying focused and was fumbling the lyrics through the remainder of the song”"

…Really? He can’t remember the words to his own song because somebody was filming? Maybe that’s what happened last summer when he fumbled around and royally screwed up “Old Blue Chair”. I’ve about had it with him, glad he lost EOTY to Carrie. I’m starting to see he cares 0 about his true fans.

Leeah, I don’t think that’s fair at all. Just look at the Frisco makeup concert. He had fulfilled his obligation even though the show was cut short due to rain. He chose to come back to Frisco on his day off, spend tens of thousands of his own money to restage the show and get everything back there, so his fans could have the full show.

New message – Hey Gang! Want to clear something up! Yesterday, i posted a message…for 5 minutes tops at our message board ONLY. After posting, I received a call that they had decided to make a last ditch attempt to eliminate the recording of music at the shows and continue to allow cameras.

So…….for those of you that copied and pasted…please do not do that. This is a perfect situation of something that has gotten crazy when we can’t change everywhere that it has been transferred to at this time. We want all of you guys to each depend on dropping into that forum for OFFICIAL news…not carrying that out to the other forums and sites.

Cameras will be allowed at the shows for STILL photos only! However, if you are caught videoing with your camera or your cell phone…you are subject to lose them. Please help us keep cameras at the shows….by not using the recording devices on your electronic devices. We will have increased personnel at the shows helping us out with this, so we ask that all of you please let your fellow fans know that videoing is not allowed….if you happen to see them doing it at a show.

This is an ongoing problem…and we want you guys to be able to have photos to carry home…but not videos! Thanks for helping us out with this….

Enjoy your shows-
Cheryl

Thank you Cheryl for posting your response! Thannk goodness – no pics of Kenny and the great artists he is bringing this year – would have been totally sad! Please everyone – listen to the policy and obey the rules so that you don’t ruin it for everyone else!

They stopped us from taking pictures throughout the show at Merriweather Post Pavilion last week. I took one picture of Lady Antebellum and they told me to put the camera away. They let us take pics during Miranda Lambert, but they stopped us when Kenny came on. They told us to put the camera away and that it was at the request of Kenny. It was disappointing because it was my birthday and I traveled 6 1/2 hours to see him and paid a lot of money to sit front row to have a great time with my sister who I never get to visit, only to be told to put my camera away or I would lose it. I could totally understand if they said something from the beginning. No one near me even tried to take videos, it was all pictures and they still stopped us. My ticket only says no video on it, we called about cameras ahead of time and we were told cameras without removable lenses were permitted.
The show was still awesome and we had a great time and to tell you the truth, I did enjoy the show more not taking pictures, but I don’t think I’ll get front row standing at the stage again so I wish I could have gotten some nice shots of Kenny while I was there.

yea its me again, we were at the re-do concert in frisco on the 17th of may
i dont understand how someone shooting a grade b video would infringe on his contractual obligations, but im not a lawyer either. ive always thought kenny was laid back-everythings cool kind of guy, but im starting to think diffrent. the only reason he was able to come back and do a “free” show is because people like my wife and i “mrs hot tub” have made him rich by buying his music like clockwork! so i dont feel sorry for him at all, also how do you fumble through the lyrics of your own song just because someone is filming you, arent your people there video taping too? everyone needs to take off thier skirts and quit crying about folks trying to keep some memories for everyone to share. i bought my tickets,BBQ, TEN DOLLAR BEERS,
AND gas to get there 20 DOLLARS TO PARK, SO please dont come up and grab my camera!!!!!!!!!!

I know how you all feel. i do not want my camera taken from me either.but
if this happens to be the new policy at kenny’s request. Please do this so
that no one will lose there camera’s. Think about the how kenny feel’s when
this fan was videoing kenny during a song and causing kenny to miss up on his
song’s.This is how it is with the paparazzi.And i guess this is how kenny
feel’s about the camera policy. He does not want anymore paparazzi coming
to his concert’s and having someone else make a false report on him.
Show kenny some respect? put the camera’s away so no one loses them.

It’s me again. I want to thank josh for giving leeah that message because
kenny did just exactly that. Kenny did a good full concert in frisco, texas
when he returned to frisco, texas. Kenny really does care about his fans.
I am glad that kenny chesney has come out with this no camera policy.
When he is getting videoed while he is singing,that is what messes kenny up
on the lyrics to his song’s. This is like another paparazzi act on kenny.
It’s no wonder he get’s upset on that at his concerts. Show kenny some
respect. He does not need paparazzi coming to his concerts. put those cell
phones and those video camera’s away. Show kenny chesney some respect.That
way no one will lose their camera’s. Kenny is a good man. He is not bad at all.

What’s wrong with low quality video for your own private use? I see no reason I shouldn’t be allowed to record a show I paid to see. I’m not posting it on the web, or selling it at the flea market. I only want to record small parts of certain songs FOR MY OWN USE. Memories are good, but sound and video are better. However, as one other poster said, I would BUY a video copy of the concert I attended, if it was offered for $40 or less. Until then, I will record my own low resolution video, or never buy another ticket. Their choice.

yes sir robert thats it in a nut shell ill record parts of a show i like for nothing more than a conversation piece later on or sell the ticket to someone else!!!!! and to you couple of girls that only comment when you feel someone says something to harsh about dear kenny. hes not going to give you JACK for doing it? so dont worry if someone else breaks out a camera, please dont hate then because they had the huevos to bring one and you are SCARED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!

mr. hot tub? I want you to know that i have read your two comment’s to robert
about his comment. My comment to you is not to judge a comment that came in
from robert. And these two girl’s you have mentioned happen’s to be about me,
myself and i. I have already put my comment’s in. Do not judge me on my two
comment’s either. I am giving my support on his request. He has had enough
of the problem’s with the paparazzi as it is. Why don’t you take kenny’s
place on stage and see how it goes when you are singing and see how that
videoing problem work’s on you. Let’s find out and see if you mess up on the
lyric’s to your song’s. You would be upset over that to. Stop and think
about that. MY two comment’s are showing my support to kenny. Do not judge me.

Mr. hot tub. Thank’s for your apology you are forgiven. I do know kenny
chesney just like everybody else. I am from texas to. What is getting me
to know more about kenny chesney is because i dated kenny chesney on this
unknown beach eleven year’s ago in my sleep. I have wrote to kenny about it.
But we are not dating at all in real life. I want everyone to know about this.
I am just a kenny chesney fan only and nothing more. But anyway thank’s for
your apology mr. tub. By the way this is a kenny chesney comment line for
fan’s to put their comment’s on about the no camera policy we cannot write
each other like this. This comment line belong’s to kenny chesney to. I have
to go now. Have a good day. And good luck to you and mrs. hot tub.

Mr. tub. If you want to stay in touch, give me an e mail adderess. Have
a good day.

Cameras are great but if you can’t capture it in pictures then you MUST be there which is why you must check out ticketsforcharity.com. They have AMAZING seats for all the Chesney shows and they’re all priced at FACE VALUE. Especially for the show in CHICAGO on Saturday, the 13th! Plus, when you buy a ticket, you’re automatically donating to charity!! What could be better??

While it would be great to have the opportunity to take pictures, I am going to go to the concert(s) for one reason TO ENJOY THE MUSIC!

Although I love taking pictures, don’t get me wrong, it is very annoying having people stand up in front of you or hold their camera up high so they can get a shot. Not to mention how annoying all the flashes going off are.

I am still wishing kenny chesney the best of luck on his tour dates. please
put your camera’s away.

mm. interesting

I think it’s wrong of stars to not allow for cameras, b/c of the amount we already pay for our tickets. There are millions of fans that buy their t-shirts, etc. They are making millions of dollars and in this economy if we spend our hard earned money to buy a ticket to see them, we should be able to take a picture or video if we’d like. Besides that would only give them more exposure. I like Kenny, but what is he thinking?
