Open to all
The anchoring of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra in the city of Antwerp translates into strong social ambitions. Besides an extensive educational operation, the orchestra strives to enable everyone to enjoy music.
Accessibility
The Queen Elisabeth Hall is a completely wheelchair-friendly building. Lifts and sloping ramps ensure that everyone can easily reach the concert hall. Moreover, we always strive to provide the best possible assistance for people with disabilities at our concerts.
Are you travelling in a wheelchair?
A number of wheelchair seats are available at each concert. Would you like to reserve one? You can do so by telephone or at the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra ticket desk no later than 1 week before each concert. Reservation is compulsory for these seats. Although we do our best to give everyone a seat, the number of places is limited.
Are you travelling in a wheelchair but would like to sit in a fixed seat during the concert? Then you do not need to reserve a wheelchair space. You can (together with your companion) drive your wheelchair up to your seat (or row) and transfer to your seat. The wheelchair itself must be set up outside by the concert hall entrance door during the concert, and will be retrieved by your companion after the concert. Please notify our venue hosts on arrival if you require assistance with this.
Welcome tickets
The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra has been working successfully with partners like the Stad Antwerpen, Atlas, Vrijuit, Sta-an, Recht-Op en ArmenTekort for some years now. ‘Welcome tickets’ are distributed through these organisations to make even the most prestigious concerts accessible to as broad an audience as possible.
Daarnaast zullen jongeren, studenten, gehandicapten en andere doelgroepen ook profiteren van kortingen, om de drempel voor toegang tot klassieke concerten zoveel mogelijk te verlagen.
