Thought I heard you can get away with P&S, but not DSLR. Anyone know if that is true?

Apparently so.

I don't know why they don't allow pro cams since Jazz Fest in New Orleans is a whole lot bigger and they welcome pro cameras just no video/audio recording. Can't be because of the bands since most of the bands that play Wildflower are not big enough to limit photos (like to the first 2 songs at venues like AAA) and heck they are allowing compact digital cams anyway!

Strange that my camera is prohibited "in the interest of public safety". Are they afraid I'll hit someone with it?

I snuck mine in last year with my 70-200F2.8L just like I sneak it into Stars games. I throw my 50F1.8 on the 5D2 and then my 70-200 goes in my girlfriends purse. Once you are in they just assume you are media.

I am surprised anyone still has this rule being that so many people own DSLRs... I think eventually it'll have to be eradicated.

I find it funny how in today's world they have to list 'contraband' as against the rules...
