Dedicated wheelchair areas
Placement
Oslo Spektrum has separate areas dedicated to wheelchair users and their companion(s). These areas are part of row 2 on section 209, as well as row 1 on sections 201, 202, 217 and 218. The latter places are only put up for sale on certain events.
There are 10 wheelchair spaces and 10 companion spaces in row 2 at section 209. This row consists of empty floor space. Companions are assigned folding chairs of the same type that we set up for the floor seats. Here, 1 companion place per wheelchair is reserved.
If there are more people accompanying you, the excess tickets should be ordered at row 1 in the same section. This way, you can sit together even if you are not in the same row. Row 1 is a normal seating row and therefore cannot be used for wheelchairs.
Row 1 can also be used by audience with other types of mobility impairments who need easy access. Wheelchair users with a location in section 209 are asked to use entrance 9. People accompanying a wheelchair user can use the same entrance.
On the other 200-sections, wheelchair spaces are put out for sale as needed. Here too, there will be one seat available per wheelchair space for a companion. Places will be reserved for additional companions at row no. 2. Both of these rows consist of fixed seats, but with plenty of space in front of row 1. A wheelchair is placed in front of the chair seat, and the companion sits in a fixed seat. To ensure enough width for a wheelchair, the seat is not sold between two such wheelchair/companion pairs. Wheelchair users with a location in section 201, 202, 217 or 218 are asked to use entrance 9. People accompanying a wheelchair user can use the same entrance.
We cannot offer wheelchair spaces on the floor, as this is below ground level and only has access via stairs.
Ticket booking
At most events, wheelchair and companion tickets can be purchased online from the regular sales start. The link to this sale can be found under the button “other ticket types” on the event page for the event at www.oslospektrum.no. If online booking is not available, information on how to book will be available on the event page under “other ticket types”.
Please note that for a wheelchair seat, one companion ticket can be booked in the same row. If there are several people going together, the remaining tickets must be purchased from the price type “accessible tickets”. In order to book all the different tickets at the same time, you must tick the box that you accept scattered seats, but the wheelchair user and one in the companion will be placed next to each other. If there are several people in the group, our hosts will assist in placing the entire group together as far as possible.
The seats are not for sale together with the “regular” tickets as we have learned that they are then bought by the public who do not need them, but who want the seat.
Pricing
Ticket prices are determined by the promotor. As a general rule, you pay full price for both accessibility tickets and companion tickets. Where there are several price levels at an event and we can’t offer wheelchair places in all price levels, we recommend our promotors to place the wheelchair places in the lowest price level. However, this is not a rule. The responsible promotor is listed on the various event pages here.
Places for additional companion or companions are priced in the same way as other tickets in the same area.
