Is Belsonic accessible for people with reduced mobility?
Yes. Accessible entry is via GATE 1, the closest gate to the dedicated facilities; once your tickets are scanned a team member escorts you to the Accessible Platform, beside which are accessible toilets, with changing places located in the Medical Tent and the Ozone Complex. Accessible tickets are bought through Ticketmaster after registering an AAR number. For any queries, contact the accessibility team.
Can I bring a folding chair or seat?
