Photography allowed at concerts?

that "CASE" sounds like BS to me if the Ticket language was not valid then
how could the guy win as he would have to PROVE the film he dropped off
contained the wedding pictures since the film was lost he could not prove
his case at all, unless he wrote Jones wedding pictures 10 rolls or some
such. Kodak could just say that the film was just pictures of rock?

I think that's one of the points of this discussion. Does a few words
on a ticket constitute a legal contract?

As a camera store manager, I was once involved in the legal wranglings
about the compensation from someone's lost pictures. This
photographer, a local semipro, had sent some wedding negatives to
Kodak. Kodak either lost or damaged them (don't remember which) and
refused to pay out more than the cost of the replacement film. They
claimed that the "contract" on the stub specifically stated that was
thier limit of liability. The court did not agree because that
disclaimer did not constitute a contract.

Read up on "in terrorem" clauses.

I'd be thinking along the lines of using a tungsten WB setting, seeing
as the stage lights are incandescent (though probably a lot 'whiter'
than the living room lamp) with colored gels in front... Perhaps
zooming in on a stage light with no colored filters and setting a manual
white balance off of that?

A tungsten setting, I can choose, but there's no manual WB in my Kodak DX6490.

Thank you for the tip.
