Proof of Disability 

Our policy is based solely on eligibility to claim Disability Living Allowance (DLA).

In order to purchase tickets, all disabled fans must provide proof of disability. The required proof is a current copy of their entitlement to the care and/or mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or entitlement to the Daily Living and/or Mobility component of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Please note, the copy must have a proof date of the season we are operating in at the time of applying for tickets.

In order to be accompanied by a personal assistant at no extra cost, a disabled supporter must be in receipt of Disability Living Allowance at the medium or higher rate or the enhanced rate of Personal Independence Payment (PIP). A complimentary ticket for a personal assistant will not be issued if in receipt of the low rate of DLA or the standard rate of PIP.
 
A concession price is available for disabled supporters irrespective of their level of Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment. 
 
To ensure easier access, tickets for disabled supporters are located in designated areas of the Stadium. However, concession prices for ambulant disabled supporters are available in all stands.


Match Day Lounge 

The LUDO Lounge is an exclusive facility located in the North West Corner offering a range of refreshments. Access to the LUDO Lounge is restricted to disabled supporters and their personal assistants who access their seats via the Ground Tunnel Entrance due to limited capacity.. No additional family members will be admitted. Toilets are operated with radar keys, which are available from designated stewards.

Headsets

Headsets for visually impaired supporters are available on a pre-booking basis by contacting our Disabled Coordinator via the number/e-mail below. To utilise a headset, a deposit of £20 is required.
