Yes, please see our How to book page for details. Concessions can vary by event if they are promoted by an external company.

2. What are 'access tickets'?

Access tickets are available for audience members who have additional access requirements. This could include wheelchair users (manual, electric or transferring), D/deaf people, those requiring a hearing loop, those requiring ambulant seating, or those who require a companion in order to attend. This list is not comprehensive, we recognise that access requirements can be multiple and unique to an individual.

For some events, you will be required to create an 'access account' in order to book the access tickets. To do this, login to your account via the 'my account' button at the top right of the website, click on the 'other preferences' tab and select your access requirements, which will allow you to book these online, and ensure that we know what your requirements are in advance of your visit.
