What provision will there be for disabled spectators at Games time venues?
A. There will be wheelchair locations and companion seats at all competition venues. There will also be some ‘easy access seats’ available and these will be as close to exits as possible, with as few stairs as possible. When applying for tickets, disabled spectators simply complete the section ‘Services for disabled spectators’ on the Internet or request these services over the telephone or on the application form. Disabled spectators also have the opportunity to request additional facilities, where these services are available. These services include commentary for visually impaired people and access to an induction loop for people with a hearing impairment. In addition a service called GamesMobility will operate during the Games. This is a service for disabled spectators. It will include the short-term loan of wheelchairs, powered scooters and the provision of escorts to assist with movement both to and around Commonwealth Games venues. Further information will be issued on request.
