Your proposal to having an ADA card is a very interesting discussion... got me thinking.... it's like.... we got ADA law.... now we gotta do more work to prove ourselves of the access we need.... yet, we need something like that... I think this is something we should bring up to our community meetings.

hey anyway you heard about this is fine with me.
thanks for the support.

i mean some don't realize how hard people with disabilities fought for those ADA seats. (this is part the reason why i advocate for disability rights & history to be taught in school. http://www.gopetition.com/online/33286.html http://apps.facebook.com/causes/395159/97706668 )
i can't even buy online ADA seats on ticketbasterd. the reason: too many fakers.
fakers are taking away my rights!

good idea. i try to go to a lot of meetings having to do with disabilities. i need to remember to add it to my LONG list of suggestions. lol

this 'joke' inspired me to start an ADA ID card discussion on a chat board for people with disabilities.

i like pg 3 especially.

Was more worried about Bobby cutting his hair off. lol. .........of the ADA seats...and then when he arrived there, they all were hearing people.....

i hope he didn't!


what if a person who is deaf is also a wheelchair user?
that combo needs ADA seats.

Same here...you'd think it'd make things a lot easier when they have a separate group for me on TicketBastard page for purchases.... nope! I had like six different customer service reps getting back to me from TB on the interpreter situation... for Ed solo show, they said "we don't do this stuff... and neither does the venue" *mutters, cursing*

I got off the wrong foot with the Ryman folks... explaining to the wrong people who kept giving the phone to their supervisor, then on to another department, then to another person.........*groans* No wonder nobody wants to put up with this shit! AND then dealing with the interpreters/agencies. FUCK!

Fakers could just simply say "Thanks!" done deal. Assholes.

:P Lots of suggestions that haven't been followed up, I'm sure... or still arguing about it.... I resigned my position with the official organization...too much to deal with right now with personal changes and dealing with the issues/people, especially those who..never mind... *sigh*

I got an extension...at least after MSG1, then I gotta think of something else to delay him even further!

Ooof. I imagine it would be much MORE difficult... it's bad enough when I have to argue with the managers about the position placement of the interpreters... they always say "we don't want to distract the paying patrons...so ..."

Excuse me? Oh shit... that's right, I got my tickets through United Way! Damn! How'd you know that?! </sarcasm>

Seriously, I do understand how it can distract others...but here's the thing... it is something that they are not used to in order to filter them out, like they do with other people or distractions like ushers, security guards, press people, photographers, hell even those fancy stage lights, the list goes on.... people program themselves to filter them out to focus on important things they want to see/hear/feel....

Ahh... *adds this suggestion to the list for the next board meeting where I can just make public comment as a private citizen, winks*

i noticed that MSG sold a bunch of Wheelchair seats the other day. And now sadly they're on ebay. I guess they are only required to have them for sale for so long??


oh... and i designed a shirt to try to make up for any offense i may have made with this thread

although i don't know if you will find this funny or not

so... let me know and i'll delete if necessary

two thumbs up for pillowpants!!


Mel, I’m with you babe.
‘distractions?’ wtf! You made an excellent point there with that.
LIKE YOU DON’T PAY! How insulting!

I hope bobby holds out that long. Hehehe

Yeah arguing. It wastes time.
Nobody seemed to really dig my ADA ID idea.
Well fine do YOU have any ideas? No, you rather sit there and rip my idea apart. I mean really! Just do something. Stop arguing and lets think of a better idea.
