****Camera/Video Policy Change****
Hey Gang! Effective June 1st, 2009 folks will no longer be allowed to carry cameras into Kenny's concerts. Cell phones and cameras with recording devices have made it impossible for us to honor our contractural obligations with our partners and record label of prohibiting recordings and such. The ones that have chosen to ignore all of the repeated request and warnings have left us with no other option but to enforce a NO Camera Policy at shows. As always, your bags will be checked at the door and you will NOT be allowed admittance with a camera in hand. To avoid long walks back to the parking lot, Please leave them in your vehicles. The security detail will be seizing any unauthorized cameras found inside the gates. Please help us make this transition an easy one. We know it isn't an ideal situation, but our numerous request have gone unnoticed and this is our only way of stopping the unauthorized recording of Kenny's shows it.

The post has since been taken down without explanation, so we are unsure whether or not this policy is actually going to be instituted. However, on the Atlanta Verizon Wireless Amphitheater page (where Kenny is playing tonight), it says "NO CAMERAS ALLOWED".

Lately, concertgoers have reported that Kenny has gotten upset at fans who were filming him on video during the shows. 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.

Kenny's Camp Responds, Cameras Still Allowed Jen passed along a message from the Kenny Chesney Fan Club with regards to the potential prohibition of cameras at shows that we posted about earlier today:

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.

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....

What do YOU, the fans, think about this?
