Ticketmaster now have their Accessible Tickets Online Verification, which helps process accessible tickets safely & easily. See here for more info

In order to apply for accessible accommodations at one of our shows, you will require a Ticketmaster AAR number.

If you do not have one of these yet, you can register for it via their website, so you have it to hand for any future requests: TICKETMASTER ACCESSIBLE DATABASE REGISTRATION.

Registration is not an immediate response process, so advance action is recommended. 

Once you have verified your accessible requirement with Ticketmaster’s team, they will issue you your AAR number. This is the number that can be required to process your accessible request.

Please do not send us any medical proofs directly. Verification of accessible requirements should be handled via Ticketmaster’s accessible team only.

Please feel free to ask questions in advance of your arrival, or ask to speak to a Duty Manager while in the theatre so that they can assist you if necessary.

Wheelchair Access

Please note, in 2016 we completely renovated the Stalls ground floor area of the theatre, including brand new seating with a vastly improved design, extra comfort, and legroom, plus we have allocated superior positions to accommodate patrons in wheelchairs. 

The ground floor Stalls level of 3Olympia Theatre is fully accessible. After making your booking through Ticketmaster, our Duty Manager can meet you upon arrival for the show, bring you through the accessible entrance and to your reserved area, point out the nearest accessible facilities, and ensure you & your companions are looked after throughout the night.

Please note, the ground floor Stalls area is the only wheelchair accessible floor in 3Olympia Theatre, as due to our protected structure status we are not permitted to install a lift between the 3 levels of the theatre. So please ensure you do not book Circle or Upper Circle tickets directly via Ticketmaster as we will not be able to accommodate you there. If you have already booked on those levels, please contact us at accessibility@3olympia.ie

​​​​​​​Assistive Listening for the hearing impaired

In order to assist customers with hearing difficulties within the venue, we are currently trialling a new assistive listening system for those with hearing impairments.

The system works via a mobile phone app that sends an audio feed direct to your smart phone, which in turn can be listened to using a pair of headphones or hearing aids.

The manufacturer recommends the use of wired headphones, please bring headphones along with you on the day of your visit. Alternatively, if you are a user of compatible hearing aids and have already connected your phone to your hearing aids, the system should work via the mobile phone app.

Further information regarding the system can be found here: MobileConnect App | Sennheiser

Please feel free to download the app prior to coming to the venue:

iOS App link: Sennheiser MobileConnect on the App Store (apple.com)

Android App link: Sennheiser MobileConnect – Apps on Google Play

When you arrive to the venue please ask to speak with the Duty Manager. They will be able to provide you with the Wi-Fi password to gain access to the audio feed from the show and will be able to answer questions that you may have in relation to using the system.

We hope this will go some way to making your visit to the theatre a more enjoyable experience.
