Wheelchair and disabled seating

The NAC is a barrier-free environment accessible to the disabled. All NAC halls have accessible areas.
Special tickets are available for those patrons in wheelchairs. If a patron remains in his/her wheelchair for a performance, they will be sold a ticket in a specific wheelchair location and the ticket price will be that of the least expensive ticket in the hall. If a patron in a wheelchair wishes to transfer from the wheelchair to an actual seat, they will be sold a ticket at the regular price. The customer must also advise House Management in advance if he/she will require special assistance from the ushers on the night of the show.

The NAC is a barrier-free environment accessible to mobility impaired patrons. Patrons in wheelchairs must purchase tickets directly from the NAC Box Office either in person or by calling 613-947-7000 ext. 620 or toll free at 1-866-850-ARTS (2787) ext. 620.
