So let's say (hypothetically of course) we're talking about the Civic Centre in Ottawa and the Bell Centre in Montreal:
Will they search bags for cameras/minidisc recorder type things?
Will they search nice big winter coats with lots of pockets for them?
Once inside if they see you taking pictures will they not mind or politely tell you to stop or steal your camera?

Sorry for all the questions, but all the OLP concerts I've been to have been ok about taking photos and most didn't even do bag searches. But arenas are different and I don't want to lose my camera or all my holiday photos that will be on it.

It all depends if the security at the concert are assholes or not.

If it's an arena tour they're gonna search you and your bags for sure .. if you have a hood, stick your camera in your hood .. I've been first row for quite a few concerts and they don't take your camera .. the London show my camera went flying over the barricade and the security guard handed it back to me .. and at 2 concerts we actually asked the security guards to take a pic of me and my friend and they do and give the camera right back .. so I wouldn't worry about it. The last arena tour I walked in with my camera in my hand.

I've been sticking mine down my pants forever. Wow, if taken out of context that sounds really bad. :lol:

Anyway, yeah, and I wear tight pants, too. It works better that way, cos it stays where you put it. Just stick it right down the front, so it's behind your zipper. They can't legally touch you there to search you. Just make sure to stand so it's not an obvious lump, and wear a shirt that's long enough to at least cover the very top of your pants (even better if you wear a big sweatshirt or coat or something). Obviously, if you've got a HUGE camera, it won't work, but it works for any reasonable sized camera. I did it with a disposable before, and I do it with my digital (although, my digital's tiny... it's an elph). Also, if you've got a digital camera, and you're gonna hide it on your body anywhere, make sure to hide your accessories, too, or they'll know you have it. I put my memory cards and batteries in my socks (make sure to wear tall socks to do that, obviously). As soon as you get into the venue and out of seeing distance of the security at the door, you can take your camera/accessories out. Nobody that works inside really cares (from my experience, anyway).

Thanks for all the tips guys. I'll have try out some of your ideas beforehand and see what works best for me!
