This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition 'Phone only zones' at music/entertainment venues.
More details
Increasingly I find myself watching a gig through a tiny iPhone screen, I personally don't mind people taking a couple pictures for a keepsake, but filming entire songs directly in front of a crowd, I think it's ruining the experience for both the person filming, as they cannot be giving their full attention to the gig and for everyone else as you can spend the whole of a gig look at a pair of arms.
Banning won't work, as it will be hard to enforce and overly harsh, so I propose that venues have a dedicated area for filming on phones at venues everyone is happy, those who film can't complain about having a bad view, as filming gives everyone behind them a bad view and those who want to enjoy a gig can!
