Tickets for Disabled People

  • I want to take a friend to see Billy Elliot or Wicked in London next month for her birthday. Want to do the afternoon showing, does anyone know if Victoria Palace and / or Apollo Victoria offer a free carer ticket or reduction on tickets. Friend is registered blind, so needs to be seated in stalls near the front.

    We could do Wicked in Manchester, but I like the idea of whisking her off for a day to the capital.

    We booked for Miss Saigon directly and given a dress circle booking for 1 wheelchair & 1 carer for the usual price for one ! so in effect we got 2 1/2 price tickets :j
    The young man who dealt with the booking asked a few questions relating to the ability of the wheelchair user , could they manage a few steps to a seat , would they need interval assistance for toilet , drinks etc..... all handled with great advice on what to do when arriving at the theatre ! well done !

    Don't bother going to The Deep in Hull they have a very narrow criteria for a free carers ticket.
    The disabled person must require 1 to 1 care if not the cashier will ask questions regarding the disability and then decide if the person is disabled enough !!
