I have a Nikon D31000 with 18-55mm and a 55-300mm kit lenses. I'm going to USA games in Winnepeg in June. I want to bring this setup to the games but not having any luck determining if I can. Does anyone have any ideas where to find out. I have looked at FIFA websites and other websites but have found nothing. Don't want to bring camera to stadium and not be allowed to bring it in! As a side note, any recommendations what might be "must sees" in Winnepeg. Thank you.

See item 4 on the Ticket terms and conditions.
I would take that as a no to any "recording" equipment.

You might want to check with the stadium in Winnepeg.

That reply was sent while I was typing mine. To bad for that.

Thanks Richard- but doesn't item #5 read that I can take pictures for my own personnel use? I will also try to get a reply from the stadium.

I missed that.

Read item 5. Non commercial use allowed. My guess is they don't want anything that can transmit while the matches are going on.

True, but members have posted about being denied use of their DSLR's, while other people were using cell phones or P&S cameras. A DSLR is sometimes considered "professional."

If getting pictures is very important, a long-zoom bridge camera (Nikon P900) might be the answer.

I know...last February at the opera house in Sydney, Australia I was taking a shot with my Canon and a 24-105 , of an opera singer in a special performance for our tour group. The guide told me no photos please! The lady sitting next to me recorded the entire show on her cell phone. What the?...... :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

But item 5 seems to contradict that, for personal use you are allowed to take photos.
If possible, I would ask a clarification from either FIFA or the stadium in Winnipeg, in writing. Carry that with you, when you enter the stadium and possibly are challenged.

Ebbie,

I think with Paragraph 5, you will be ok taking pictures for personal use. To me Para. 4 is to protect their commercial rights to the selling and/or "publishing" any pictures.

It might be worth while to get a confirmation in case some Rent-A-Cop doesn't know the limits of his authority & keep the ticket stub with you.

Thanks JCam, that is the way I read it also. I am still trying to figure out how best to get in touch with Wennipeg Stadium.

I don't think you can get in touch with the stadium. If you look it up all you get is gobbelty gook about the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
