Accessible Seating/Tickets
Wheelchair accessible seats are available in all price levels. One companion ticket may be purchased with each wheelchair accessible ticket. Please indicate when buying tickets if you require accessible seating. You may purchase handicapped-accessible seating in person at the Box Office during normal business hours or by calling Ticketmaster at 1 (800) 745-3000.
Accessible Drop-off
Guests may drive into the front circular driveway on Water Street to allow passengers to unload before parking. While the vehicle is being parked, the guest may wait at the Security desk in the right side of the lobby for their party.
Should a patron not have their own chair, JCPA Security will provide one and escort the patron via elevator to their seat. At such time, the chair must be returned by an usher to the Security desk. At the close of the event, someone in your party may return to Security to request a chair for patron transport.
