So you know the post I shared with the petition in, this petition: Make Viewing Platforms Optional for Disabled Concert Attendees

I’ve been offered free tickets to a show at the venue and been told that I can use an area next to where I was, that’s inaccessible to me due to steps.

This reminds me of the time that I called a hairdressers to find out if they were accessible, they told me they were, and when I got there, they had a step to get in. Their answer was that once I got in, they were completely accessible and willing to do my hair and my wheelchair. What did they give me as compensation? Vouchers for that hairdressers. So this is actually not the first time this has happened to me.

It’s not adequate compensation if I can’t use the tickets myself. I have said I will only accept the tickets if I can go on the main floor of the venue. Which I’m assured has no steps so there should be no reason I can’t use it. We’ll see what happens I guess, but I’m not convinced I’ll be going there again.

Please sign the petition linked in the beginning of the post. To make it the disabled persons choice whether or not they use so called accessible areas in a venue.
