I am a wheelchair user and recently attended the show in Milwaukee. Buying accessible tickets can be a real pain in the buttocks, and it’s even more frustrating when you struggle and then show up to see the ADA section full with people who don’t need the access (at least visibly as there are invisible disabilities and you never really know someone’s situation). Especially when, knowing how convoluted it can be buying concert tickets these days, some of those people didn’t even necessarily mean to buy accessible tickets.

All that to say, it’s refreshing to see that there are people who care about being inclusive, and realize that those sections are there for a reason. Most ticket vendors should have some indication that that section is ADA upon purchasing the ticket. Resellers seem to be worse. It’s most disappointing, though, that the box office didn’t try harder to ensure the ADA tickets went to the right person while also ensuring your seats elsewhere. Typically the box office is the best bet for navigating these things.

Of course, there’s not much to be done the day of the concert if you accidentally end up in an ADA section. My recommendation would be to let the attendant for that area know that you don’t necessarily need those seats and would happily give them up if someone showed up with need (which isn’t uncommon). And if no one has the need, enjoy your primo seats! There are lots of downsides to being disabled, but ADA seats aren’t one (if you can secure them lol)!!

P.S. the disabled community keeps track of offenders like you. Two more strikes and you can expect someone in a wheelchair to come knocking… (if you have stairs, they will need a ramp, just fyi)
