MEDIA AND FILMING
Photographers & Microsoft Theater does allow photographers and television news Television News Crews crews to film portions of concerts or events at the venue. Typically, the venue will have photographers and TV crews shoot from the sound board area (Approximately 165 feet from the stage). The venue can also provide a multi-box available to allow multiple TV crews to plug into at the back loading dock area. With the fire marshals and venue approval we can sometimes allow photographers to shoot in our pit area, but this is determined and approved on an event by event basis.
Interviews & Plugging In If you are looking to conduct a television news interview with your artist at Equipment Microsoft Theater, it first must be cleared through the venue publicist and management. Secondly, should the crew need to plug in additional equipment (lighting, microphones, batteries, etc.) and are not self-contained, a union electrician will need to be scheduled, and either the television crew or artist management will need to cover this cost. Any television crews outside of television news or entertainment news will also be subject to a location agreement and fees.
Filming Any filming that is done at Microsoft Theater will need to be discussed with the Microsoft Theater production staff prior to your event. This includes, but is not limited to, archival footage (video and audio), DVD shoots, live or taped telecast, and web distribution. There are additional venue and union fees that will apply to any filming that is not archival. Archival filming can only take place after a signed archival filming agreement has been signed.
