Assistance and seats
Do you have a (temporary) disability, difficulty standing for a long time, are you pregnant or do you suffer from an anxiety disorder? No stress! You can reserve a seat or ask for assistance after purchasing your concert ticket.
AB accepts the European Disability Card. Upon presentation of your EDC card, you may bring one companion free of charge to the concert for which you have a ticket. Please purchase your ticket(s) first and then fill in the assistance form.
You don’t have a medical disability and would like a seat? Start by checking in what room your event will take place. If seats are available, be sure to arrive on time. If you are present when the doors open, you have a very good chance of getting hold of a seat. An overview of the available seats per room:

Services
Wheelchair users
AB Main Hall (all room set-ups)
There is a reserved area for wheelchair users on the 1st floor balcony, to the right of the stage. This balcony is easily accessibly via the lift. There are no further thresholds or stairs.
If you or your companion need a seat, you can mention that on the Assistance Form.
AB has adapted sanitary facilities for wheelchair users.
AB Club
The Club is accessible via the lift. Our stewards will accompany you in front of the stage. We don’t automatically provide chairs. Do you or your companion need a seat? Let us know.
The toilet is on the ground floor, just behind the bar. Ask for the key from one of our stewards.
Deaf or hearing-impaired visitors
Let us know what you need via this link so that we can make your concert experience as complete as possible.
Sennheiser MobileConnect
You can listen live with your own headphones or hearing aid via the Sennheiser MobileConnect system in our venue. This app streams the sound from the stage directly via your smartphone to your headphones or hearing aid.
PRACTICAL TIP: Install the Sennheiser MobileConnect app on your smartphone beforehand at home and test whether your smartphone can connect to your hearing aid. Download the app here: Android - iOS.
Please note that we do our best to transmit the sound as quickly as possible, but it is inevitable that sometimes there is a slight delay in the sound transmission. Here is what you can do to avoid an echo effect:
- Check the settings of your hearing aid: limit ambient noise if possible. This way, you can concentrate on the sound coming in via MobileConnect.
- If you want to use headphones, it is best to take those that completely cover your ears. The result is also better if you can use a wire instead of Bluetooth.
- If necessary, discuss this with your audiologist beforehand.
Balloons
Balloons are available from the stewards at the entrance.
Blind or visually-impaired visitors
Do you want to attend a concert with a guide dog? Let us know.
