We see ‘ADA accessible’ all the time. But for disabled fans, that usually raises more questions than it answers.

Seating? Sightlines? Bathrooms? Entry points? Staff training?

What questions do you ask before buying tickets?

A lot of venues say they're "ADA accessible." But for disabled fans, that phrase alone often isn't enough to plan a night out.

This carousel explains why clear accessibility information matters, what's usually missing, and how clarity changes the entire experience.

If you've ever had to over-research a show or make a dozen calls just to feel prepared, this one's for you. 👇

Accessibility shouldn't be a guessing game.

Accessible for who, how, and where?

Buying tickets shouldn’t feel like rolling the dice.

For too many disabled fans, attending a live event starts with uncertainty.
Not excitement. Not anticipation.
Uncertainty.

Will there be accessible seating that actually has a good view?
Will the bathrooms be usable?
Will the staff know what to do if something goes wrong?

Too often, those questions go unanswered.
And when access is unclear, people stay home.

That’s not a personal choice.
That’s a systems failure.

We believe accessibility should be clear, honest, and available before tickets are purchased.
Because everyone deserves the chance to enjoy a night out without stress, surprises, or crossed fingers.

We’re building something to change that.
More soon.

Live music should be accessible.

This article highlights why vague “ADA accessible” labels aren’t enough and why disabled fans deserve clear, honest info before buying tickets.

That’s exactly the problem we’re tackling with The Rockin’ Chair.

VICE spoke to disabled activists, musicians, and concertgoers as well as people who are booking shows and managing bands about how the concert industry can return better and more accessible for everyone.
