52% of Disabled Music Fans Avoid Gigs Due to Poor Accessibility, Survey Reveals

Survey Highlights Accessibility Challenges

A recent survey by Transreport shows that more than half of disabled music fans are skipping gigs. A shocking 52% of those with disabilities steer clear of live events due to venue accessibility problems.

Key Findings from the Study
