Is it possible to apply for a press pass or photographers pass to try and shoot sporting events from first row seats? Not shoot from a press box or anything, but something that would allow you to bring your comera gear in and not be hassled?
Reason i ask is, i went to a NJ Devils vs. NY Rangers preseason game tuesday and had the intentions of just shooting the players during warm-up since i was in the upper upper deck. I had brought my backpack as to not have camera hanging around me. But when doors opened, i had to show my hoodie to be checked, then frisked and asked what was in the bag. I replied, "my camera". They said no backpacks, or cameras allowed especially telephoto's. They said i could check it in with security, i laughed at that idea and just put it back in the truck. But it made me made that i couldn't even bring my camera in at all even with a wide angle zens.
Is there anything i can do?
