DSLR in concert grounds

[dfblaze]

Hi guys,

I've been to Wacken before (2012, 2013, 2015) but I can't remember from previous years - are DSLR cameras allowed inside the concert grounds?

I'm making the trip all the way from Guatemala again, and I'm not only going for the festival (its too expensive so let's make it worth it and visit several other places) so I'm taking my DSLR with me and don't want to have to leave it inside a tent the whole time.

I would also like to snap a couple of pictures from inside, I've looked at my old photos and all are terrible old smartphone lol

Any idea if its allowed? And if not, what could I do with the camera to not leave it in the concert grounds?
Thanks!

No, DSLRs are not allowed as long as you are not a accredited journalist.

If you don't want to leave your camera in the tent the whole day you can store it in a safe-deposite. You get more details here http://www.wacken.com/en/festivalinfo/safe-deposits/

Ah well, I should've known.

Thank you very much for the link to the deposits, though.
