I have a disability, is this event suitable for me?

We are proud to have a dedicated accessibility area, with a seating area and viewing platform. Upon arrival at the main entry, you will be guided to a dedicated entry lane. There are rubber mats over the cobbles so you can get to the accessible area via a smoother path. We will give you a wristband to the accessible area so you can leave it and go to the bar and food area and then regain your place, it also helps us to control the numbers of people there so it doesn’t get overcrowded. If anyone you are with would be worried or upset by having a wristband placed on their wrist then please let the staff know, it’s no issue. If you have any concerns about anything just ask a member of staff, we want everyone to have an enjoyable experience.

If you have access or disability issues and no accessible tickets are available left to buy please email access@crosstownconcerts.com and we will try to help you if we can. Please note that the accessible area is a limited size so some shows may be sold out of accessible or personal assistant tickets.
