I'm going to the NYC concert and I didn't get an email like that, so as far as I'm concerned that rule doesn't apply to me :)

Honestly if Utada is like "please don't take pictures while I'm performing" then I'll respect that and put my camera away, but I seriously doubt she cares.

That sucks, I can understand not having Flash photography but none what so ever is kinda sucky.


I'm hoping to still get my ticket for chicago, but if things do not work out, I'd like to see videos and pictures from the shows.

This blows.

Thank god, I hate having to watch a concert through the viewfinder of some dip's digital camera (really, it's rude and annoying--you have eyes and a memory for a reason!).

So I'm glad to hear this.

that sucks...
hopefully i'll be able to take pictures at the hawaii concert.

I just got an email from TicketWeb:

"Dear TicketWeb customer,

This sucks for those who can't come - this means we can't take any pictures or videos!
I just hope it IS recorded on an official basis, then!
