Staples Center concert – cameras allowed?

I’m seeing Lady Gaga on August 12th and I’ve never been to the Staples Center before. I’d like to bring a camera, but I’m unsure how strict they are. Ticketmaster says:
No Cameras Or Recording Devices At Concerts! And the Staples Center website says:
No commercial or flash photography of any kind is permitted. Camcorders or any other audio/visual equipment is prohibited unless authorized by team/promoter or performer. Specifically, the use of the following equipment is not permitted: * Lenses greater than three-and-one-half inches in length * Telephoto or zoom lenses of any kind * Interchangeable lenses of any kind * Monopods or tripods * Flash equipment of any kind I’ve been to venues before with similar rules, but I’ve just stashed my camera in a compartment in my purse and checks are so quick that they didn’t see it. I didn’t run into any issues once inside either so I’m wondering if the Staples Center would be the same?
