Accessibility

Uptown Theater strives to make our venue and live experiences inclusive and accessible. For more questions, or for information not mentioned below, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at info@uptowntheatermn.com

Arrival & Accessible Entrances:

The main entrance to Uptown Theater is accessible. Guests with accessibility needs do not need to wait in the General Admission lines; they may check in at the main entrance for assistance. 

Restrooms:

There are accessible stalls in each of the main restrooms of the venue.

Ticketing:

For accessible seating, purchase a ticket to the event you want to attend and email info@uptowntheatermn.com in advance, and let us know the date of the show you are attending. 

Once you arrive, our team will escort you to the ADA section of the venue.

The ADA section has access to a full bar and restrooms. Please see a staff member for assistance.

If you need assistance at any time, crew members will be around the ADA section that can help you with anything you might need.

Parking:

There is no on-site parking at Uptown Theater, however we have partnered with ParkWhiz to offer easy and reliable options in the area. Some ParkWhiz locations do offer handicap-accessible spaces. When using ParkWhiz to book parking, look for the handicap-accessible logo under the amenities section just to be sure the location you want can accommodate your needs. Any location that displays that logo offers handicap-accessible parking. Please keep in mind that spaces booked on ParkWhiz aren’t necessarily assigned spaces and all accessible parking spaces are first-come, first-served by law. Click HERE to book parking. 

Medication needs:

If you need to enter with prescribed medication to be taken during the event, we require that all medication be in its original container with a name that is verifiable with a photo ID. Please only bring what is required for the duration of the event. We cannot store any type of medication. Over-the-counter medication must be in its original packaging.

Dietary needs:

Uptown Theater takes pride in offering a variety of choices for guests with special dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegan options. You may request to speak with a member of our Food & Beverage team with specific questions or concerns. While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate dietary requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be able to meet all requests.

Service Animals:

At Uptown Theater, we have specific guidelines to ensure all guests, and their service animals are supported throughout their visit.

Service animals are defined by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) as dogs or miniature horses that are trained to do work to perform tasks related to people with disabilities. The work or task the service animal is trained to do must directly relate to the person's disability. Service animals must be housebroken. Service animals are required to behave and not repeatedly bark, growl, jump up on or lunge at other guests or employees. Corrective action must be taken if the service animal is not behaving appropriately.

Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Comfort animals, emotional support animals, and therapy dogs are not listed as service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA.  This also applies to the other species of animals wild or domestic, trained, or untrained. The ADA requires the service animal to be under the control of the handler. This may include using a harness, leash, or other tether. Our venue employees are not required to provide for, the care, or supervision of a service animal, including cleaning up after it. Service Animals must remain on the floor and are not allowed on dining chairs or tables in our food and beverage locations.  Live Nation and our operating partners have the right to deny access to a dog that disrupts our operations.

Please contact a member of the guest services team if your service animal needs access to a relief area. You will need to exit the venue and re-enter with the assistance of a member of the guest service team.

Sign Language Interpretation:

Uptown Theater offers sign language interpretation upon request only. Requests for interpreters must be received at least three weeks before the event date.  

Please make your request by email to info@uptowntheatermn.com and include how many in your party need interpretation and the ticket type you have. Interpretation requests are subject to the availability of an interpreter.

Assistive Listening Devices:

Please see a member of the guest services team upon your arrival. They will provide you with an Assisted Listening Device in exchange for an ID that will be securely held in the box office.

Mobility Storage:

Limited storage is available for wheelchairs, canes, walkers, and other mobility devices. If you need access to your device during the show, please contact a member of the guest services team. There is limited electrical connectivity in the venue, please contact us prior to your visit for more information.
