As more accessible tickets are sold online and to help ensure accessible tickets are convenient to book, Free Essential Companion tickets are only available to fans with accessibility requirements (please be aware the free companion policy may not be applicable on/for every event/venue). Offering these free tickets presents a risk of fraud if not handled carefully. That’s why we put measures in place to ensure that this scheme is not abused and will require evidence to support fans request.

To see if an event is part of our Accessible Tickets Online Verification, just click the Accessible Tickets icon  on the event you are looking to purchase tickets for - you'll see it on each event on our website. If it is, once you have made a booking we will contact you within 72 hours of purchase, requesting proof of accessibility – you can also submit your accessible information here.

Once we have received proof of eligibility, any existing or future accessible bookings that are part of our verification process made within the next 2 years will be validated. (Please note this is not applicable to every event).
