A ground-level, grass Accessible Viewing Area is provided beside the viewing platform for customers who have health conditions or other disabilities and need a less crowded area and access to the accessible toilets. There will not be an unrestricted sight line of the stage in this area, as there will be customers in front of the Ground-level Grass Accessible Viewing Area who are likely to be standing up. All places in the Ground-level Grass Accessible Viewing Area must be pre-booked.
Registered assistance dogs are permitted, but the live sound may disturb the animal. No other dogs are allowed on site.
