They Said No Cameras at "Elvis-The Concert"?

They Said No Cameras at "Elvis-The Concert"? Don't Ever Believe Them! 2/5/2003

In response to inquiries we get every time our show goes out on tour:

Are cameras allowed at Elvis-The Concert? Yes. Flash? Yes. Audio and video devices are not allowed, but regular still cameras with flash are allowed at all our concerts. In fact, we encourage flash because it adds to our efforts to re-create the feeling of being at an Elvis concert when Elvis was alive.

However, every time we tour we hear from fans who say that the staff at one venue or another has told them "no cameras" or that the tickets issued by the venue or their ticketing services say "No cameras." It's a mistake. Anytime you encounter this with Elvis-The Concert, it's a mistake. Don't ever believe it.

Our show's producer and his staff always make a special point of emphasizing to each venue's management that we DO want the fans to be allowed to bring still cameras with flash. But, usually one venue or another on a tour does not communicate this to their front line staff or to their ticketing services. This is why you get wrong information. They don't know that the "no cameras" policy for most concerts does not apply to Elvis concerts and Elvis fans.

Please do take your camera with you no matter what you are told. Often, we've had such problems making venues communicate properly that the camera thing doesn't get straightened out until show night when our own announcer tells the audience it's okay. Then, we have unhappy fans who left their cameras at home thinking the venue's "no cameras" statement was true.

If, prior to your attendance of Elvis-The Concert, you receive such wrong information from a venue employee, please refer them to this article. If you encounter this on actual show night at the venue, you can whip out a copy of this article and you can also point out to them the statement always found in our souvenir concert program book inviting fans to use their cameras and encouraging the use of flash.
