All of our venues have wheelchair seating locations. Wheelchair spaces generally require that a patron be seated in their wheelchair. If a patron has difficulty ascending or descending stairs, we can provide seating options that do not require it. When you purchase your tickets and when you arrive at the venue, please advise us if you require any type of special seating accommodation for any reason. The UNLV PAC box office and usher staff members are trained to assist you in finding seating that best meets your individual needs.
This policy is pursuant to the ADA Ticket Sales Requirements outlined by the U.S. Department of Justice. We generally reserve wheelchair seats along with three companion seats.
- If an event is general admission (whether ticketed or not), accessible seats are generally held until the beginning of the event, but may be subject to release earlier if a seating section fills up rapidly.
- For events with reserved seating, we may release seats when all non-accessible seats in a particular seating section or price category have been sold.

- Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
- What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
Please note that emotional support animals are not service animals and will not be allowed to enter.
