Accessibility   
ACCESSIBLE PARKING:
The Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum provides accessible parking in garages (A) the closest to the Auditorium, (C) the closest to the Coliseum, as well as the designated parking lot on the south side of Howard Baker Jr. Avenue across from Garage-B. There is no charge for accessible parking, as long as a current, valid license plate or hang tag is displayed. (Tennessee Code Annotated also requires that the person to whom the plate or hang tag is issues be present, in order to legally utilize the accessible parking spaces and park for free.)
TICKETING:
The Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum is committed to providing equal accessibility to our guests. Designated seating is provided for guests with disabilities. This seating is available for all events, in all price levels at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum. If you require accessible seating, please notify the ticket agent when purchasing your tickets. To order tickets by phone, contact Tickets Unlimited at (865) 656-4444, or call the Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum box office at (865) 215-8999 or (865) 544-5394 (TTY) for more information.
ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES:
Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are provided for guests with a hearing impairment free of charge. The guest’s driver\'s license or credit card will be held as a security deposit. Upon the conclusion of the event, guests will need to return the ALD to a member of our guest services staff at the main exits, and will receive their DL/CC at that time. Interested parties should see any member or our Guest Services Staff (Red Coats) for details.
DEAF/HEARING IMPAIRED POLICY
The Knoxville Civic Auditorium will provide Interpreters for shows in which individuals have made requests for interpreters pursuant to the following:
Purchasing Tickets:
Individuals needing interpreters should call the coliseum ticket office to purchase tickets Monday – Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The numbers are (865) 544-5394 (TTY) and (865) 215-8999 (Voice).
Ticket Purchases must be made at least fourteen (14) business days in advance of the Shows date to allow all scripts, music sheets, or other pertinent information, to be forwarded to the interpreters for the purpose of practicing the show materials.
Seating:
A block of seating consisting of twenty (20) seats is reserved for patrons who are deaf/ hearing impaired. This seating is reserved until two (2) weeks prior to the show, at which time, if no patrons have purchased these tickets, or requested an interpreter, the tickets are released and sold to the general public consistent with all other seats.
Advertisement:
In the event that a show runs for more than one day, one of the shows will be designated as the interpreted show. If possible, the chosen date will be on the weekend. For example, if a show runs from Wednesday through Sunday, the interpreted show will likely be on a Friday or Saturday.
The Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum urges promoters to advertise all shows intended to be interpreted in the same manner (i.e. newspaper and television adds); However because promoters run their own advertising, this does not always happen. Therefore a mailing list is compiled of mailing and electronic addresses of people whom wish to be made aware of upcoming interpreted shows. These people will be notified more then two weeks prior to the interpreted show(s) date. (No telephone notifications will be made)
WHEELCHAIR/SCOOTER POLICY
The Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum has designated seating sections for guests who require the use of mobility devices (wheelchairs/scooters.) Due to space limitations, the Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum has the following ticket policy: guests who use mobility devices and require the use of designated seating are allowed to buy tickets for themselves and a single companion in the designated sections. For guests whose parties include more than two people, additional seating may be purchased in the section in front of the designated wheelchair/scooter platforms. These tickets may be purchased by phone through Tickets Unlimited, or at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum box office. For more information please call the Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum box Office Monday-Friday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
ALTERNATIVE FORMAT
If you are a guest with a disability and require any show-related publications in an alternative format, please contact the Box Office a minimum of two weeks prior to the show’s date. Tickets must be purchased at this time in order to process the request for alternative format materials.
*If you have any questions in regards to these policies, please contact the Knoxville Civic Auditorium Coliseum Box Office (865) 215-8999, Monday – Friday form 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. |
