Here are the Live 8 Barrie Rules. Pretty rigid. I see back packs are
allowed. I was trying from memory earlier.. not a good thing. :-) By the
looks of it, as long as the camera isn't a professional one it can come in
too, although I doubt the tripod would be allowed.

For the safety of all attending Live 8 the following items are not allowed
into Park Place:

- no umbrellas or lawn chairs
- no professional cameras, videos or audio recording devices
- no alcohol, cans or bottles or hard sided coolers
- no object that can be used as a projectile
- no re-entry once you are in the park.

Bring your sunscreen
- 1 sealed bottle of water of any size is allowed
- back packs with a change of clothes and blankets are allowed
- bank machines will be on site



I am betting that many Canadians would like to at least be allowed a chair.
