Whelchair/Disabled seating for 10C tix/Spectrum questions...

So if anyone could help me out with some information, I'd appreciate it.

I'm just coming off my back third back surgery, and even though I'm only 24, I have obvious trouble getting around and have a handicap placard/id card.

I called the Ten Club today and they said to call back at noon on Friday when tickets go on sale.

A few questions...

1.) Will i have a better chance of getting tickets? I.e. are there special seats reserved for people with disability, or do they just accommodate those who are disabled and happen to be able to get tickets? I am not trying to take advantage of this or use it to my advantage to get tickets, but I just want to know if I should even bother trying online--or if i just call, I will be taken care of. I know how hard of a ticket the Halloween show will be.

2.) Does anyone know where they would make those seats available? I've been to the Spectrum and I would assume the back of the floor or in certain locations in the lower mezz, but I am not sure. It's no big deal but I'm just curious.

3.) Has anyone ever actually done this? And if I call at 12, will I get through, or will it be like trying to call TM/LN and I'll get a busy signal non-stop?

Any other information for people who have had to go through this would be appreciated.

Sorry for the all questions....Just trying to figure out plans. I appreciate it. Thanks.

    i just broke the news to her about an hour ago about a 3rd and 4th show being added. she looked at me like "this is the man i married, dedicated, tried and true" and then shook her head

    as for the OP of this thread- I suggest getting 10c tix on wed if you can, then calling the 10c and give them the head's up. I am sure they will take care of you after they confirm you bought a pair

    i'm disabled and love going to concerts.

    i don't bother 10c about ADA seating. i just figure they have enough shit to deal with. i get 10c tickets and let the venue staff seat me in an accessible spot equivalent to the 10c seats. just get there before the music starts so the staff can hear you.

    Thanks.

    But my question is will I be able to easily get through on the phone and get tickets...or do people usually get regular seats and then get taken care of? If that was the case, there would obviously be seats left open, but I'm just worried that I am going to call at noon on Wednesday and not be able to get through.

    did they tell you to call on wed or buy them online first then call? i would call again tomorrow and get confirmation and make sure they dont tell you something different

    If you get there after the music's started, something's wrong with you anyways :mrgreen:
