O2 trials online sales for disabled users

The O2 is making ticket purchases for the accessible viewing platforms available online for the first time.

The London venue will initially make two wheelchair-accessible viewing platforms available online in a trial and said that “any feedback is very welcome”.

The O2 Arena is recognised as a ‘Gold Charter’ venue by accessibility charity Attitude is Everything.

Adam Wilson, head of customer relations at The O2, said: “This new service, along with the BSL (British sign language) video interpreting service provided by SignVideo, demonstrates The O2’s commitment to making ticket purchases at the venue fully accessible.

“More and more of our fans book online and through their mobile devices, and we wanted to extend this facility for those with access needs.

“It is a great step forward in creating equal access to events at The O2.”
