Accessible Seating Types
- Accessible seating refers to seats or areas set aside for patrons with additional requirements, and includes wheelchair spaces, companion seating and extra amenities seats.
- Wheelchair bays are for patrons who use wheelchairs. Unless booked with a companion seat, a wheelchair space does not include a seat and it is the expectation that the patron has their own wheelchair to sit in. The MCG does not loan wheelchairs or temporary seats.
- Extra amenities seats are spaced a little bit further away from neighbouring seats and have more leg room than a standard row seat. These seats are always located on an aisle with no or minimal steps (maximum of 4) to climb.
Locations
To assist you in selecting the location of your seat, please refer to the MCG’s Accessibility Map (PDF).
