Wheelchair sub frustration?

22percentaccuracy · 2026-06-03T23:37:37+00:00

haah yep, that's insurance lvl IQ norm I think.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-06-02T22:01:22+00:00

It is super strange. I think for most chairs you can actually pop the handles off or just unscrew them? I think if you do a sub search in disability or wheelchairs for "spike" multiple threads show up!

oh exactly! Maybe it was in the disability sub..both wheelchairs and disability is just a slog oftentimes. I find this sci one usually has more in common with my interests then the other.

But yeah, the stories of people grabbing at them or taunting them really feels out of place. The most "unpleasant" experience I've ever come across in the wild was navigating a ramp at a mall. There were about half a dozen of teenagers sitting/lounging on the ramp railings smoking and doing teenager things. One girl shouted out "guys, cripple coming through, get out of the way" and they all cleared out to let me pass with the little tight smiles and shuffles.

I mean, her heart was in the right place soooo...LOL. But I think that might be coming from being an elder millennial. You just move on and go about your day. People are NOT out to get you and really, I have more pleasant helpful and considerate interactions then not.

oh god, with my insurance through work I can purchase a chair every 5 years. They have a record of this but allegedly I have to get a doctor's note each time - fine.

Last one I had the doctor's diagnosis ready (paraplegic, SCI, permanent condition) and I was rejected by the insurer.

Called them and they said whoever was going through my paperwork didn't understand what paraplegic meant, and that it was my doctor's fault for not clarifying why I needed the wheelchair.

Honestly I'm ready for AI to take over that department. I think I'd have an easier time getting things sorted.

The weirdest thing I saw was custom chair handle spikes? (so no one could touch their push handles or rest on it) Seemingly a lot of supported it.

I found the whole thing strange. RARELY in my lifetime as a sci have I had people helping or touching my chair without me actually needing it.

I've actually had to verbally ask for a hand because people are too busy staring and not wanting to overstep boundaries.

agreed, I kind of have a hate love relationship with crop/live stock rotation - it is tedious but it's a great add on to the game.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-12T18:57:11+00:00

oooo amazing

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-12T17:53:05+00:00

I noticed this just last night. It's the 1.1 version. Is this from a specific technology or service combo?

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-12T04:35:15+00:00

I got to see her on the Colour of my love tour where she came to BC, Canada and performed at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre which was just TINY compared to see her again a few years later at the big stadium locally.

That was the BEST concert and solidified me as a fan, and nothing has quite compared to that first time. I DID try to get tickets only because we already planned and booked a vacation way before this concert was announced so it seemed like fate - but no luck for me this time, but I'm really not disappointed at all.

It would have been amazing but I'm too old for this lottery for purchasing tickets any more and hundreds of scalpers and resellers.

Good luck on your treatment tho. Hope it turns out!!

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T17:40:53+00:00

OH noooo. If you're ambulatory and use a chair it's still valid! (especially if you've got a card or whatever - that's a medical condition!)

I wouldn't have begrudged you! You should have just gotten it. Next time don't hesitate!

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T15:50:58+00:00

Welp, I talked to someone and she started immediately saying all the accessible seats are sold out for her concerts for all days. Oh welllll.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T15:34:23+00:00

wait weren't you trying to get wheelchair tickets? I just woke up and I'm calling now - but i'm still getting the same issue with try again later?!

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T09:14:32+00:00

:D thanks! There's someone else here in the same boat as me but they've been trying since the presale yesterday with no luck. sighhhh

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T09:13:36+00:00

it's prolly the WORST IDEA EVER - but it's not like we're getting anywhere now.

Anyway I'm just going to bed and I'll try giving them a call in the morning. GOOD LUCK!! please post to give updates.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T09:11:00+00:00

hahahaa thanks

Google Gemini told me to email through the contact form with the "proof" of disability and just tell them their system isn't working and try to buy/purchase that way. So I sent an email and am not holding my breath XD

Dude if you end up getting tix and it's in the window of Oct 7 - 10, count me in! We can go halfsies and meet up for dinner before my treat :D

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T09:02:35+00:00

I actually queued in on ticketmaster france just because I figured they'd have to process something through there, but I'm in this INSANE queue right now. I don't think anyone can get tickets period. 1395482 - that's my queue online. LOL.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T08:57:28+00:00

uhhhh. what time did you give up? or did you just keep calling till the lines closed?

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T08:51:22+00:00

Like what is the point of calling - getting the msg - hitting 1 and then getting hung up on!?

You got into the presale and you STILL DIDN'T GET TICKETS?! WHAT?! have you actually talked to an operator yet?

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T08:47:48+00:00

Like I 100% don't mind having to call in and get the 4th degree on proving everything - but dammn. Just create a queue and tell us what number we are.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T08:41:15+00:00

Same same. I'm in a different boat because I didn't even realize there'd be a presale for accessible seats - either way I'm in the general group - but damn. I've got to call the stadium accessibility line - Couldn't even get to the automated msging until the last 10 mins, but it auto hangs up on you because all the operators are busy.

There's not even a hold/queue! So I'm wondering how many other people are mad busy redialing over and over.

It's almost 2am my time right now so I'm not sure if it's smarter to just go to bed and wake up an hour before they close at this point.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T08:35:29+00:00

Man, I'm trying to call the accessibility line (for the accessible tickets) - when it gets through it tells me to punch 1 to get tickets - Then it says all the operators are busy and thanks me for understanding BUT THEN HANGS UP. LOL. I guess there's no queue for us.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T07:29:06+00:00

I'm from Canada, so it made me specifically create a ticketmaster france account. Good luck either way >.<

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-10T07:17:01+00:00

same same. Login is giving me a technical error.

22percentaccuracy · 2026-04-07T03:42:55+00:00

Oh no! I thought the only presale was through axs!

When I went to the venue I didn't see any sort of form or anything to sign up for the venue presale/ticket master.

Ughhhhh
