Accessibility | Viewing Platform
At all concerts in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, we ensure that special wheelchair-accessible places are available on the viewing platform. If you are attending as a wheelchair user and bringing a companion, this companion must also have a ticket for this platform. We offer special 'Wheelchair/Companion Places' tickets for this purpose.
For your safety and in line with our permit conditions, we have two specific locations in the ArenA for wheelchair users: the viewing platform on the ground floor and a specially designated area on level six. It is important to know that, due to fire safety regulations, it is not allowed to sit with a wheelchair in non-designated areas, even with a valid ticket for one of the floor sections.

If you already have a wheelchair and companion ticket, your place on the viewing platform is guaranteed, and you do not need to make any further requests. For visitors with a regular standing or seating ticket who wish to exchange it for a place on the viewing platform, a request can be submitted through Livecrowd. Please note that places are limited and will be allocated based on availability, which means not all requests can be accommodated.
