Should concerts ban filming on phones?

Your view now

I film things for a living, so this is going to sound odd coming from me. I went to a gig last month, a small one, 300 people, and for the whole first song I watched it through the phone of the bloke in front of me. Not metaphorically. His screen was between me and the stage. I had my own phone in my pocket the whole night and I kept it there and it was the best gig I've been to in years. I don't think I'd have put it away without someone making me, though, which is the embarrassing part. So yes, ban it. Pouches, a sign, whatever. Is that unreasonable?

first time posting here, but I went to a gig with pouches in Dublin and honestly the weird part was the first ten minutes, everyone's hands didn't know what to do. and then it was just a gig. I'd vote yes but I get why people won't

I'd want a middle thing. One song, lights up, film what you like, then pouches. I've been to one gig that did it and it was the best of both. But I notice the one song everyone filmed was the one song nobody sang along to.
