FWIW, my local conference/sports centers have policies posted on-line. I |

Not under UK or US law they won't. The owner of the venue has absolute rights over what he permits the public to do on *HIS* private property. Somewhere in the ticket contract it will say what you can do. In the UK you have to watch out for brass studs in the pavement which mark the delineation between public space and private land (and the little brass plaques that go with them). Refuge Assurance once got it spectacularly wrong and had to shred an entire advertising campaign. Malls and department stores tend to be very tetchy about photography inside. Not that they can prevent it with modern smart phones etc. Simplest thing to do is carry a much smaller camera phone if you want to take shots in a "no photography" zone (and switch off the flash). Watch the Olympic opening sequence to see how many morons think a puny on camera flash can illuminate an olympic stadium at night time. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

A joke that was already old when I was young (I heard it around 1966 or so): Q: What do I set my Instamatic on to take a flash picture of the moon? A: Infinity. -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

Just for the record, George, "elderly" is not a synonym for "stupid" or "ignorant". For every person of my age that you encounter who doesn't know what the symbol for infinity means, I'm sure I could find you someone fifty years younger who doesn't know either. And as they tell you in the first chapter of most calculus books, there are such things as infinite numbers, but "infinity" is not a number. ;^) Bob |

I agree, and I suspect that many of the people using flash in the stadium understand that it isn't doing anything but contributing to the sepctacle. Bob |

My ticket to last night's hockey game at the Garden did say it, but I waltzed in with a camera bag anyway. Nobody even batted an eyelash. |
