Concert Signage Allowed?

[flitterfly5.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

I think this question has been asked elsewhere, but I couldn't find a definite answer to it, so I'm hoping that everyone here who has had a bit more experience with Arashi concerts can enlighten me.

On the Facebook page it says "Signage of any kind is prohibited so that all concert-goers can enjoy the view."

Does this include uchiwas? I'd been planning on making my own uchiwa (not a banner or large sign or anything, just a normal sized uchiwa like the ones they sell), but I don't want to run the risk of it being confiscated or having to discard it when they see me carrying it through the entrance.

I just think it's a bit strange for them to prohibit uchiwas because they want everyone to be able to "enjoy the view" while they themselves are going to be selling these things!

Thank you!
