Not all disabilities fit into one group
Provide better seats for the visually impaired that allow us to get closer to the show
Why is this important?
Getting out to enjoy concerts is something that I enjoy. Sadly, Glasgow's SSE Hydro's inflexible approach, unlike other venues in Glasgow like the King's Theatre, means people with visual impairments are unable to book seats close to the stage and still get a carer's discount. Instead, the venue has a designated disability area which is too far away for me to see anything.
Disability comes in different forms and venues have taken care to provide services to help people's enjoyment. There are induction hoops for those with hearing issues and the venue has wheelchair accessibility. It's time to bring in some flexibility and allow those with visual impairments the right to enjoy the great shows that appear here.
