Q. Looking to spend $250 or under for a good digital camera. Mostly for taking pictures and video of my new daughter. I don't want a manual flash that I have to pop out everytime I take a picture. What camera do you LOVE, where did you get it and what did it cost?
A. If you are going to use on-camera flash (which is not the most pleasing-looking image), you should not reject those models that require you to push the button to pop it up. It is generally a desirable feature to do that. Increasing the distance between the flash and the lens decreases the chances of red eye.
For best results at your budget, you should get a premium compact--one with a sensor bigger than the 1/2.3" sensors of the cheapos. It would be good to get one with a hotshoe to mount an external flash for doing bounce flash. I know, currently you are not interested in that, but you might grow into it. Maybe not. I don't think there is one with a hotshoe currently in your budget, but prices can wax and wane.
BH Photo currently carries the Nikon P330 for $200 while they last. It is discontinued to be replaced by the Nikon P340.

It has a wide aperture at its wide angle setting, although it stops down a lot as you zoom in. It will have better image quality than the cheapos.
Amazon has the discontinued S110 marked down to $249.

It is reputed to have a faster response than the Nikon, but it lacks as much video resolution. (Canon improves that in the new S120.)
While they last, Adorama has the discontinued Pentax MX-1 for $200.

This camera has a slightly more limited zoom range than the P330 or S110. It does offer a wider aperture at telephoto than the others, and it has a tilting LCD screen. It is reputed to be sluggish at writing files and being ready for the next shot.
Some other possibilities are the Panasonic LX7, and the discontinued Canon G15 (being replaced by the Canon G16). The G15 would be a very, very good choice. Prices have fluctuated. Today I don't see them within your budget at BH Photo, Adorama, or Amazon. Prices may drop again. I think they probably will for the LX7, which I think is still in production. They might drop again for the G15, but they might just sell out at $349.

A. Now that you are moving your budget out of fantasy land, maybe you can find something.
If it is really important to get your camera allowed for the concert, you can rule out DSLR's or mirrorless system cameras.
Cameras with 1/2.3" sensors will give extra-crappy results in the low light if you can't use a tripod or flash, and you can't.
You are left with the premium compacts that have a little bit better sensors. That means choosing from among these, just to be maybe not bad. Being great isn't an option. That requires the kind of equipment you can't get a pass for and knowing how to use it. You can buy their video for a fraction of the cost of the camera you can buy to try in vain to match it.

That's it. If you want something else, then own up to the stated use goal being unrealistic.
Among them, longer focal length can get you a closer view, but it will be a blur unless you have a pretty low f number at the longer focal length, and it can still be a blur if you don't know how to hold it good and steady.
If the goal is to capture yourself and your friends at the event (at last an actual sensible goal!) then you have some very good options among the cameras with shorter zoom ranges.
