"sounds awesome but is it going to be another ticketmaster lets rip of fans !. "
Hopefully not. Demand will be initially brisk, particularly on the morning they go on sale, with the diehards wanting to secure standing tickets. But there won't be (gobsmacked if I'm wrong on this) the infamous "Dynamic Pricing" kicking in like we sadly saw with hugely overscribed events like Taylor Swift, Oasis and the recent Black Sabbath farewell.

"Wheelchair access tickets = unlikely  "
They're playing the AO Arena (the older one above Victoria Station) and it definitely has wheelchair access. A good friend has used one for many years now and we've never had any issues, the opposite really. |

I know there's wheelchair access but there's fewer than about 15 tickets for wheelchair access at the AO. So, getting an actual ticket is hardest than winning the lottery.
I tried to get wheelchair access tickets for Limp Bizkit at the AO (nope) and obviously missed out on the Back to the Beginning OzzyFest type thing too |

So sorry to hear that. That's quite worrying to hear. Like I say my friend has never, as far as I'm aware, had any issues but I will add it is a good few years since we've been to a gig together there.
But a paltry 15 tickets (max) for a 23,000 capacity arena circa 2025 is obviously VERY wrong. Its a long time since I worked in promoting live events but I seem to recall under the Equalities Act venues were "obliged" to allocate "around" 5% of capacity to disabled guests, but, I do recall this was merely an advisory mandate. I am very rusty on all this though!
However, I do still know people who work for both the AO and also Ticketline in Manchester. Leave it with me, I shall investigate this further as this is simply woefully inadequate. |

Disabled guests are not all wheelchair users. For example at the AO in Manchester, they have a so-called "ambulant accessible" area. It involves climbing up/down 10 steps (!) so despite claiming to be more accessible than some of the other tiered seating areas, 10 steps is still a lot for a section being advertised as specifically for disabled people! Most venues have some wheelchair accessible (fairly few), some "ambulant" accessible and other areas that aren't designed with physical access, but that have things like captioning tech, hearing loops etc which obviously also come under the remit of disability access. It's very likely 5% in total are variously accessible, but not all are wheelchair accessible. |

"It’s not slayer, half a band at best, and David dramain is Zionist prick so fuck him.
Megadeth still good live though. "
I was interested to read that Megadeth are support on this tour. If that means Disturbed are the bigger band are Megadeth no longer one of The Big 4? |
