Accessibility at Red Rocks

For information regarding accessibility features, policies and recommendations for your visit at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, please see below.

 

Wheelchair Accessible

At our venue, Row 1 and Row 70 are wheelchair accessible and accessible seats must be selected at the point of purchase. If you have already purchased tickets and now require accessible accommodations, please contact your point of purchase to inquire about an exchange. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee an accommodation in Row 1 or Row 70 without a ticket for that row.

Wheelchair accessible seats are 36” x 12”. We do not have wheelchairs available for rental. You may choose to remain in your wheelchair or transfer to a venue-provided folding chair. If you would like a folding chair, please notify a staff member in your area and we will be glad to store your wheelchair near your row.

Limited Mobility

If you do not require the use of a wheelchair but would benefit from the features of our accessible seats, please select Limited Mobility seating at your point of purchase or email redrocksaccess@denvergov.org for assistance.
