Truly accessible concerts

So last night I went to another concerts and in contrast to my experience at my last concert, this one was very accessibility.

While some others people at the concert didn’t like it that I was there and took up a bit more room, I honestly don’t care. I deserve to be there and take up space.

I was not a danger to anyone there as I have been previously told I am. My safety and there safety wasn’t compromised. Maybe this would be the case in a heavy metal concert, but dokt worry I just won’t be going to those.

This was a life-changing experience for me, not only the concert, but to simply truly be part of a crowd of people. Concerts are about more than music.

I just want to be able to experience concerts like everyone else, and I don’t think that’s too much to ask for. I just wish it wasn’t so hit and miss as to whether I get to feel truly included in experiences just because I’m disabled.
