Wimbledon Is the Latest Place You Can't Take Your Selfie Stick
LatestSorry, selfie stick enthusiasts, but the number of places where your selfie sticks are welcome continues to shrink. The latest no-go zone: Wimbledon.
That’s according to CNN, pointing to this passage in instructions for ticket holders: “In common with many other major sports and entertainment events and cultural attractions, The Championships will not allow ‘selfie sticks’ into the grounds.” And so, here is a helpful but non-exhaustive list of places your selfie stick is banned:
- New York’s MoMA. Also, according to People, Boston’s MFA, indoors at the Getty Center in California, and at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum. Ditto the National Gallery in London.
- Coachella and Lollapalooza
- The Smithsonian
- The Colosseum, in Rome
- Versailles, in France
- Various stadiums
- Courtside at the Australian Open
A directory of further bans is available here, at Yahoo. Proceed with caution before taking your selfie stick, well, anywhere.
