How to: Wheelchairs

The Centre is wheelchair accessible.  From the street level, there is an elevator that goes down into the lobby (near the pay phone), and then a second elevator goes up to aisle 2.  Note that the balcony is not wheelchair accessible.  For wheelchairs entering the art gallery, they must enter through the upper plaza.  Once inside the gallery, there is an internal elevator.

In all cases when booking tickets for a patron with a wheelchair in their group, note in the comments of the order how many wheelchairs are present in the party.

Booking Homburg Theatre:

Wheelchair tickets for the mainstage cannot be booked online, and must be booked over the phone or in person with us.  There are seven wheelchair seats available in row L of aisle 2; keep in mind that there is no elevator access to aisle 1.  To book a wheelchair ticket for Anne, select the price type WC.  The value of this ticket is set to be the lowest of all the price ranges currently available, so if the $25 tickets are not sold out, wheelchair seats are priced at $25.  If a wheelchair seat is being booked, the patron is also eligible to purchase a companion seat at the same price.  This seat can be booked next to the wheelchair in the wheelchair section, or in front of them.  If there are other members of the party who would like to sit with them, you can book further tickets in front as well, though they would have to pay the full Tier 1 price.

Booking Mack:

Wheelchair seats at the Mack should be booked at Table 55 if possible.

Booking Studio:

Wheelchair seats can be booked along the left hand column of the theatre, as there is space to maneuver a wheelchair along that aisle.  Joy recommends Table 40.
