Accessibility

How can I purchase ambulant tickets?

This can be purchased online via AXS - for each show there will be an accessible bookings link via AXS for you to book your wheelchair access. Please note that the wheelchair ticket does not have a seat, if you book this ticket and you don’t require wheelchair access there will be no seat for the customer with a wheelchair ticket. When purchasing you need to add 1 wheelchair and 1 companion ticket to complete the order. Any bookings that have selected 2 free companion tickets to avoid paying will be cancelled and released.

If you would like to purchase more seats with your wheelchair access booking as you are coming with extra friends or family, this is possible however it's just not possible at this current stage to do so online. If the show in question is going on sale this week, we hold the below seats off sale to add to orders if requested. Please purchase your wheelchair access booking following the above guide and contact us with your order number as soon as you have purchased so we can arrange the seats next to you to be added to your order. It's important you contact straight away as these seats do get released if we haven’t had any requests.

Access Card

We work with Nimbus Disability and accept the Access Card as a form of evidence. It’s not required, but it means customers won’t have to provide repeat details every time they book and lets us know about any support or facilities they’ll need when they visit. Please provide us with your name and Access Card ID number when emailing the venue.

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme

For those with hidden disabilities, we are proudly members of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme. Wearing their Sunflower lanyard is a discreet way of letting staff know that you may need extra assistance – our staff are trained to recognise the Sunflower and may ask if they can provide any additional help. Lanyards can be collected from the Box Office.
