ENTRANCE LINES
There is a small hill before the entrance to the Deer Valley Music Festival. Patrons with disabilities that make it difficult to stand in the entrance lines can sit in the tables and chairs on the patio while a member of their party stands in line. When their party gets to the entrance they may join then in line. Patrons with disabilities that need a shorter walk to the seating area may enter through the VIP entrance through the lodge.
BLIND OR LOW VISION
Our ADA section is reserved for patrons who have low-vision, are blind, deaf or hard of hearing. Tickets for this section must be selected at the point of purchase.
Our venue has an I-MAG screen on the south side of the stage. Magnified live video and important messages are displayed during the event on a 20’ x 12’ Daktronics 10MM LED screen and can be viewed from any seat in the amphitheater. Occasionally artists choose not to use the I-MAG during their performance.
BRAILLE
Braille programs are available by advance request only. To request a Braille program, contact us at least one week in advance of the concert date.
Digital programs and information are available online and compatible for screen readers.
WHEELCHAIR, LIMITED MOBILITY & WIDER SEATING
Patrons requiring accessible seating accommodations must request them at their point of purchase. Patrons may purchase (1) accessible seat and up to (3) companion seats adjacent to their accessible seat pending availability for a total of (4) tickets. If you would like additional friends or family to sit near you, let us know and we will do our absolute best based on availability! These seats are general admission.
Wider seats and those with removeable armrests are not available at the venue but you may bring your own chair to sit in. If it sits higher than 9” off the ground YOU MUST PURCHASE A TICKET in the ADA section of the hill. Seats higher than 9″ off the ground are not allowed anywhere on the hill except the ADA section. For sight line purposes, there is no exception to this rule.
Please note: The venue is a steep hill with several uneven areas. We do our best to make those in a wheelchair feel safe by having wheel stops available, but it is not an ADA compliant wheelchair area.
NEURODIVERSE INFORMATION
Upon entering Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheatre, you will hear music at a medium. Once the concert begins, there will be short announcements and then the conductor and guest artists may introduce music between pieces. The concert and plaza will be full of quite a few people so if you need space or quiet, it may be good to wait until just before the concert starts to come onto the hill or enter when the gate opens.
Special performances are available during our Access to Music concerts.
Earplugs are available upon request at coat check.
The lodge is quite quiet once the concert begins if you need to step inside to get away from stimulants. It is a wonderful place to hear a muted version of the performance.
Feel free to sit along the edges of the patrons or the top of the hill to give yourself more space.
See ENTRANCE LINES for options to NOT stand in the long lines with surrounded by many people.
