All ADA spaces are $20.

Listening

The Bowl’s entire seating area has been ‘looped’ for high-quality assistive listening.

To use the Hearing Loop:

  • Switch your hearing aid or cochlear implant to the “T”, telephone, or hearing loop program. Most hearing aids are supplied with a T-coil but if you are unsure, please check with your audiologist or hearing aid specialist.
  • Request a receiver from a volunteer usher. A credit card or ID will be held and returned after the concert.

Hearing loop systems take the sound straight from the mix-board, through an amplifier and into a magnetic-field generating looped wire. Hearing aids equipped with telecoils (T-coils) pick up the signal automatically with no background or extraneous noises.
