Disabled Access
For Concerts:
I have a disability – how do I book tickets that will meet my access requirements?
Please Note that Electric Ballroom is a non seated venue. Therefore we only have limited spaces for accessibility customers available. An allocation for Wheelchair Access Tickets and ACCESSIBLE TICKETS – SEAT BALCONY (available for all shows from Jan 2025) is made available during our Venue General Sale! Please make sure you buy the correct ticket! We do not exchange wrongly purchased tickets to Accessible Tickets! All Access Requests need to be send in/completed latest 7days before a show.
Once these allocations are sold out, we cannot accept any further accessibility requests. If you require Accessibility tickets and these are no longer available, please do not purchase a Standing/GA ticket and expect to be accommodated as these will be refused. This is a strict policy to make sure the venue is safe for all customers.
Below is a list of documents as proof of disability / medical condition:
- Nimbus Access Card (copy of physical card)
- Blue Badge (both sides of physical card)
- Letter from a medical professional (Letter from GP/nurse/hospital/occupational therapist)
- Blind or partially sighted registration certificate (BD8 or CVI certificate)
- Benefit award letters / PIP
I need wheelchair access!
We have 4 wheelchair spaces available. All wheelchair users are required to buy a Wheelchair Access Ticket, which comes with one free carer ticket. Once the ticket order has been confirmed, you will need to provide us with evidence of disability or medical condition, which can be emailed to – [email protected] . The front door staff will assist wheelchair users to a raised platform which is near the stage and adjacent to a fire escape. They will also direct people to a disabled toilet.
Is there an accessible seating area?
For all shows from Jan 2025 you are required to buy an ACCESSIBLE TICKET (SEAT-BALCONY) via our website. These tickets DO NOT include a free carer/PA.
For the remaining shows in 2024: you can reserve a seat in our designated Access Area, which is solely for those with disabilities/less able to stand, by emailing us evidence of disability or medical condition to: [email protected].
Seats are located in our balcony area (no step free access).
What about companion tickets?
Free Essential Companion tickets are intended for fans/attendees who requiring additional support and are only issued in conjunction with a blue badge, Nimbus Access Card ( (with the +1 symbol) and/or carer’s card.
All companion tickets are subject to availability and may be excluded for certain performances.
