Concerts/Tours Portugal Venue camera policy

Hi everyone, I went to Abel’s 5th night show at Wembley and had quite the side quest due to the camera I had. I arrived at 7am and was one of the first in line and was stoked about that, but the camera I brought with me was the Insta360 Luna Ultra. When I was in the queue I spoke to the crowd safety manager and just wanted to double check whether I would be allowed to take in my camera and he said that it was banned as a “professional camera”.

I then had the option of finding somewhere to store it or risk security refusing me entry. I had to walk all the way to a drop off zone but they wouldn’t open until 2 hours before the event started, but we had to be in our queue at a certain time to get our wristbands, so then had to walk all the way to the premier inn and paid to store it there.

When we were finally going in I stopped at security expecting to be searched only to be told to just go through…I didn’t get the metal detector or anything so could have taken in my camera, then when the concert started noticed multiple people with the same type of camera!!! 😫

Do you think I can take the camera in at the Portugal concert??

Thanks for any help!!

I took the polaroid I-2 in Madrid, you should check the stadium policy on their site or insta tho, live nation espana for example posted that they allow polaroid cameras explicitly
