Revised ADA regulations: As of March 15, 2011, new regulations are in effect that address online ticketing for those with access needs. In part, these regulations say that wheelchair seating must be available to be sold online in the same manner as non-wheelchair seats. Due to technical limitations of our current website, we are unable to comply with these regulations at the present time, and wheelchair seating will continue to be handled by phone and email. We are in the process of a complete website redesign which will bring us into full compliance with these new standards, as well as allow us the flexibility to adapt and improve the online experience for users with all manner of access needs. If you have any questions, contact Jim Amberg, Access Coordinator.
