Wheelchair-accessible seating
WMC is open to everyone. We consider it important that wheelchair users and their companions can attend our competitions and concerts in a safe, comfortable and fully accessible manner.
For all WMC 2026 activities, a limited number of wheelchair-accessible seats are available per venue at the regular ticket price. These tickets grant access for one wheelchair user and one companion.
To ensure optimal sightlines, accessibility, safety and overall experience, wheelchair tickets are only available upon request and cannot be purchased via the regular ticket shop or physical sales points.
Requests are submitted via a dedicated application form, in which several practical details are requested. Based on this information, we will arrange the best possible seating and facilities per venue and activity. After receiving your request, we will contact you within a few days.
Submitting a request does not guarantee allocation of a wheelchair seat on the preferred date and location, as availability is limited.
If you have specific wishes or questions regarding accessibility, transport or on-site assistance, we are happy to assist.
