Jump the Line – Other:

Stairs – Other/Details:
It’s an outdoor amphitheater, so everything is on a hill, but pretty much all parts of the venue are TECHNICALLY accessible. The only areas that really aren’t are the upper-middle sections of seats (5-8) because there are only stairs at the tops and bottoms of those aisles. The side and lower sections (1-3, 4, and 9) have ramps leading to them, however. If you have trouble getting up and down the hills, venue staff will happily assist you.

There are entrance/exit ramps on each tier and a ramp between them too. Despite their policy, they’re usually flexible with allowing companions on the platform even if they don’t have an ADA ticket so long as they enter through the ADA entrance with you to get a wristband. There is an ADA overflow area at the back of the lawn too that sits back a bit from the rest of the crowd for better viewing clearance.
Their website says: Patrons with mobility disability tickets are available for patrons with mobility disability needs and up to three (3) companions.

Additional Comments:

Quiet sensory space available.
Staff trained in accessibility.
To access food, drinks, merch, etc. there are paved paths throughout the venue, but typically the tents are off the path on either gravel or bark chips. The bark chips are more easily accessible whereas mobility devices will easily get stuck in the loose gravel. Also, they almost always have the line stanchions too close to the cashiers’ tables which make it extremely difficult to exit after you’ve paid or gotten your food or drink, even if you don’t use a mobility device it’s a tight squeeze.
