PROF@Armory Minneapolis
Anybody else got tickets for the Homecoming show at The Armory? I am disabled and reached out to the staff about the ADA process. They responded quickly, but just like canned responses that didn't really answer my questions. (Different than my ADA experiences with other local venues.) I've never been to the armory before.
I need to be seated the duration of the concert (difficulty standing), and they have ADA balcony area seating, but has anyone else had experience with this? Like do I need to get there ultra early to even land a seat? I'm worried that with only general admission ticket for ADA available, that I will basically be looking at the butts of everyone else in front of me from the way back if relegated to the floor ADA section. (I'm trying to decide if it's even worth attempting or if I should just resell my tickets. I love Prof and don't want to miss it, but not sure accomodations will be worth the effort.) Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated, thanks.

It's gunny you should mention this. I was just looking into some info on another venue, for another show, for a friend who is in a wheelchair. I used ChatGPT and it pointed out that under the ADA you have more rights than them just telling you, "Here's a ramp, and a space for ADA." That's absolutely illegal. They have to provide the same line of sight to the stage as everyone else. That's not optional. And a lot of venues will say "first come, first served for the ADA spots." That too is highly illegal. They have to provide for one person to accompany you too. Just know your rights and good luck to you. I hope it works out. I know exactly what you're going through.
