France support and camera question

[Fella]

Hi. Am going to the Lille concert tomorrow, and wanted to see if Tesla are supporting them there? I can't find much information on line with regards to stage times, etc. Also, it says the Lille Zenith has a no camera policy - does anyone know if this is inforced? In the UK they no longer check, but didn't want to take a camera unless I know it won't be confiscated at the door!

Any help with these questions greatly appreciated!

Hi Fella,

The rule, anywhere in France, is all the camera are forbidden. But it depends on the place. The Scorpions management allows the fan to take photos but sometimes the security guys said no. They check at the entrance so the best place, and I always use it, is in your boxer shorts, the security guy don't put their hands in this area.
See you tomorrow in Lille.

Thanks for the tip - will take your advice! As it will be my first concert in France, do you know who the support are and what time they and the Scorpions will be on stage? This might be the last time I see them as they don't seem to be doing any UK dates...

All depends on the place where you are seeing them. I saw them in France twice last November - in Lyon they did a search, but didn't care about the point & shoot camera. (Pretty much the rule - no cameras with removable lenses.) In Toulon, they didn't look at all.

Unless they are being particularly crazy about cameras, I think you should be fine for getting one in. Hiding it in your boxers works - except if they use a metal detector!

The real problem is once you're inside, it just takes that one security guard in front of you that doesn't know or wasn't paying attention that day that they were told the Scorps don't mind cameras.

Get a phone with a good camera. If you are up front they turn out pretty good.

Have a great time in Lille!

The support is the band The Electric Ducks. I'm not sure at 100% that they're playing in Lille but as I've seen, they play all the concerts in France in April

I've read reviews about them and it seems that they're very good

Oh, someone said the rest of France until the Russian shows. They actually need to just take this whole year off!
