Purchasing wheelchair tickets:
These can be purchased online via AXS - for each show there will be an wheelchair tickets 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.
If you would like to purchase more seats with your wheelchair access booking as you are attending the venue 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, please contact the venue directly to discuss whats possible.
