The most tangible evidence we have of this cause and effect is our annual ticketing survey, where we speak to all of the venues and festivals signed up to our Charter, from the biggest to the smallest, and ask them how many accessible tickets they sold to disabled fans in the last calendar year. However, between the numbers, the results also bear testament to some of the groundbreaking and forward-thinking practices being implemented by live music businesses – whether that’s the Barbican’s pioneering ‘relaxed performances’ aimed at fans who may have an Autism spectrum condition or learning disability, or the focus at a medium-sized venue like Cambridge Junction on fans who are visually impaired or hearing impaired.
