Close to impossible, but not impossible. The hint here is to be the
photographer hired by the band or organiser! Those "Access All Areas"
passes are worth their weight in platinum. Another tip: Get to know the
facility manager. You can get access to rafters, cooling ducts, and
catwalks that mere mortals can't get near. Just bring your climbing gear.

#3 As long as it is for own use I don´t see the harm to much. I think
Hans´point was more that he wanted to have fun taking the photos, not so
much hanging them on the wall. AND DEFINIIELY NOT SELLING THEM. If he
would, I would completely agree with you.

I absolutely agree with you. However, with this definition the concert
should restrict camera access to those cheezy disposable cameras to
guarantee limited photo usage. Hmm. Do I sense another merchandising
opportunity coming on? Ah! The Rolling Stones' "Concert Shot Camera" and
One-hour lab! I'm just too smart--thinking like a capitalistic
money-mongering American again.
OM Content: Why didn't Olympus come up with a "disposable camera?" Oh,
they did with the 77.
