Accessibility

There are plenty of accessible, disabled-friendly features at the Viejas Arena, so let’s take a closer look at some of the most noteworthy ones.

Guest Services can provide assisted listening devices to those who need them. The service is complimentary, though a photographic ID will be needed as a deposit. 

The Guest Services area can be found adjacent to the box office at the VIP/Pass Gate. 

Companion seats

Companion seats can be reserved for those accompanying wheelchair-bound guests. If there are any unsold companion seats, they will be available to buy two weeks before the event (this can change if ticket sales dictate otherwise). 

Disabled seats

The Viejas Arena is a top-loading facility, so the disabled seating is located on the upper concourse of the venue. This is because they can be accessed easily but also evacuated easily in the case of an emergency, 

There is sometimes designated disabled seating set up for guests who need it during seated floor events as well. For disabled seating inquiries, give the venue a call at (619) 594-5085).

Those with a disability that requires a wheelchair or scooter (power-driven or manual) are allowed to use this in any accessible area in the venue. 

Because of pedestrian traffic and health and safety, those who require a scooter, wheelchair, or any other OPDMDs (Other Power Driven Mobility Devices) must check them in at Guest Services.
