Wheelchair-Accessible Seating Policy

Got your eye on seats marked as Reserved for Wheelchair User (♿) or Reserved for Wheelchair Companion (C) on our website? That’s great! Just a friendly reminder, these seats are set aside specifically for users of wheelchairs and/or other accessibility devices and their companions.

So if you do book these, make sure you truly need them. Otherwise, we'd politely ask to let go of your seats for someone who does. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Thank you!
